Ferguson 30

Checking out dumpsites for a job coming up. At an old farm with a least 15 tractors milled about. One was a Ferguson 30. Sheet metal was straight, had a alternator so its been converted to 12 V. tires were in bad shape. Two older brothers - late 70's early 80's are owners. From what I found out they buy old farm equip and then park it. Think it might be hard to convince them to sell but was thinking of offering $500. what do you guys think?

less unless it's minty with lotsa good stuff on it like good tires.

500$is my top end # for a non runner. on rare occasion, a more rare unit with perfect externasl, might fetch a lil more.. just for part value.. but usually 300-500 for a good looking non runner that ain't stuck

just my opinion but the block is most probably cracked between the cylinders i have 3 blocks off of 30's and they are all cracked hope yours isn't good luck
