Another tractor worth the money.?
Has new tires all the way around.He's asking 1K for it.
What would a bare block cost with a rebuild?

It has a fast hitch, maybe a 3pt adapter I waiting on a call from him.
They might be 38",I'll find out. |

If its not cracked between the cycls and just behind the carb it can be fixed with fiberglass,J-B Weld or rubber cement. The mower B has worked for 12yrs with fiberglass. And another on has been fixed with rubber cement 10 yrs ago and both work just fine but if the crack is between the cycls thats another story. |

It might be worth $500, but it could be just a can of worms to restore. Parts tractor at the most. |

It looks like the crack keeps going to the right between the stud and the cylinder. I think you are in new block territory. The new tires are certainly nice. Looks like it's been sitting inside so there shouldn't be any weathering. It's more like you're buying tires and getting tractor parts on the side. |

From what I can see in the picture, the head gasket would seal it. Depends on how far that crack goes. |

Looks to me like the crack extends into the bore, so the block is done for. There are a lot of those blocks around, though. Those are some big rear tires on that tractor, probably worth the $1,000. It's worth pursuing if you get the three-point hitch. |

I am not seeing the 2-Point Hitch yoke. The oversize tires indicate a pulling tractor so it will have a pulling hitch. The rear rims are not stock, notice the wedges. Scrap price at the max and you will not be getting much. He gave up on it because it was not cost effective to repair the cracked engine. I assure you that he would already have fixed the crack if it could be fixed. FYI there were no 1952 200 Farmalls. All were made in 1955. The grill says 200 but I would want to see the serial number. It may be an SC with a 200 grill. |

Anything can be fixed, the question is "is it worth fixing?" I'm guessing that it would be cheaper to find a usable block and rebuild OR find a good running engine. You are an adult so shop around and get an idea of what an engine will cost you add that to the price of the tractor and add 20%. Do you want to buy that tractor for that amount of money? What else could you buy for the same money? |
