 Topic: Not mine, but SOMEONE should grab these
Posted: 18 hours 43 minutes ago at 10:19pm |
Like the title, this isn't mine, but for a restorer this should be hard to pass up. If I had the time and space, I'd certainly scoop these up!

Most of us hate to see these old tractors scrapped, but, judging from their appearance, anyone that is going to try to restore these better have deep pockets and a lot of ambition.
A guy here in our area has a very nicely restored unstyled WC that has been for sale for a couple years (with cultivators) for $2500. I suspect that's about half of what he has invested.

Shame, there's probably some good parts there for someone but with how common and low-dollar these things are over there it's likely they will end up as Chinese white goods in the near future.
Nice that someone at least tried to give them a second chance, maybe they'll be rescued, who knows.

$200. for a junk WC ? He could probably take them to the scrap yard and get that..
i guess if you needed a transmission or final drive parts it might be OK... but rebuild is not a reality/
