Advice on old Molines

I have come across 5 old tractors that I need some advice on. A elderly woman's husband recently passed away and she wants the man who farms her land to find someone who wants the old tractors.

MM GB LP - This tractor is complete. The tires are still holding air. I think with a new battery it could be started and driven on a trailer.

MM M670 LP - This one is missing the grille and one rim is rusted away (power adjust type). It had something wrong with it when it was parked as there is no oil or water in the engine and he had the front end on blocks.

MM UB LP - This one is complete but not running as the engine has siezed from sitting to long. I pulled the dipstick and the oil looks brand new. There are also some spare parts for it.

MM R - This one is missing some parts. They could be scattered around the yard somewhere. It is missing rear wheels, gas tank, magneto, carb and others. The engine is not siezed and there is still oil in the crankcase and I believe most of the parts are around somewhere, it is just a matter of finding them. I also have some parts for an R.

Case 940 LP - This one is kinda like the GB. It is complete and with a little work would probably run.

Any thoughts?
 
One thought is to list them on ebay. I wish you were a little closer as I would love to buy 'em all from ya. Also go check on the MM boards here, maybe Roger from Kansas will help ya out.
 
i"d go talk to the lady and see what she wants for all of them. if she is looking to find a home for them, and you want to fix em up, go for it!! wihout seeing them, if they were junkers, figureabout 500 apiece for them as a ball park. ask her what she wants for them. if the price is reasonable, i"d take em without a haggle. i figure they were her husbands and they prolly have some meaning to her, and she wants a good home for them.
 
Reach an agreement with her for a decent price and buy them and promise a good home for them. If you get one restored take her a pic or offer to take her to see it run again. She probably doesn't want others to scrap them out. Don't scrap them out! Get some wheels back under the 670 so it can be moved. I'd still like to find a good 670.
