Looking for a 656 regular gas appraisal

[jesseholmz]

Hi, I've posted about this in the past but I'm hoping to have my farmall 656 regular gas appraised. It has an engine knock and we found shavings, the crank is most likely shot. It's been kept indoors ever since. I'm going to have to sell it since I don't foresee myself having it repaired anytime soon. I'm attaching a link to a gallery of photos. Could anyone tell me what they think is a fair worth?

Scrap iron price. sorry,it's a bit rough to be worth much

I've seen tractors in way worse condition being used. Aside from the rusted tire it's not in bad condition so I know it's not worth scrap iron price

looks like a pretty good original tractor. if u have the rest of sheet metal. probably 1K. i would go tops.

I saw one a little worse sell in mn for 700.

Non-running and partially disassembled make it impossible for a potential buyer to evaluate the transmission, hydraulics, clutch, TA, brakes, steering, etc. A buyer will know the engine will need rebuilding ($3,000+ ?) and the rest is completely unknown, a "pig-in-a-poke".

Salvage value does not mean $50 per ton scrap iron price, rather it would be what a salvage yard would pay you for the tractor ($500 to $1,000?).

If you can reassemble it as-is and get it running with the knock and all, a buyer would be able to evaluate the tractor. I think you would add 50 percent over salvage price to the value of the tractor. Don't bother getting a new oil pan gasket, just get it complete, running and moving.

As is? Scrap value.
If you can find a tractor salvage yard, it could be worth more to someone who would part it out.

Is it even worth selling under the circumstances? Technically it has a small amount of sentimental value but in terms of fixing it, I don't know enough to do it myself and the cost seems like a lot for the tractor

Agreed. For maximum price it needs to be at least running and find back some of the tin. I wouldn't bother with changing the rim unless you have one handy. Then dump it at a consignment auction.

Where are you located?

I agree with the others, bad rim and bad motor, scrap price, the others you saw working were running. You might want to risk finding replacement motor, rim and sell, but I doubt you will get much more. On the comments of putting back together and selling, I am not much on sticking it to the next guy.
