The guy who said you can't make money on "Scrap Iron" has obviously never bought a used block. I bet a million dollars in parts has been sold on this forum alone. "Hey email me, I have the **** you need for sale cheaper than ebay"
The Red bellied tractors should have a lot of interchangeable parts. So I'm optimistic there.
The skid steer... if the hydraulics are still good.... the procedure should be as simple as an adapter plate and a 35HP Kholer V-Twin from a big lawnmower. There have been a lot of re-powers on old skids done on the cheap that ran for many years with no problems. That doesn't mean it wouldnt take me a week to do the work.
I don't have much Faith in the chipper engine, but i have seen lots of old equipment that used to have an engine converted to run off of a PTO adapter for relatively cheap.
If the crawler cranks and moves as he said it will, I'm going to have it inspected...I'm planning on pushing up a dam on a 6 acre valley that I have to make a Catfish Pond, if the repair cost estimate (in parts exceeds) what It would cost to hire out, then I'll call the scrap man. It weighs 27,000 LBS, they discount the weight 10% if they come pick it up. So as of this minute, approximately $1300.
The Massey backhoe is actually my favorite prospect. Its a Massey 165 with double heavy axles on it. And would have the most utility value long term for me. With a good block, the Perkins engine can be made brand new for $700, and I have access to a full hydraulic repair shop at work for the Backhoe and loader. There are some models with 3PT lift and pto behind the backhoe. Running as only a utility tractor it would be twice the tractor my MF50 is.
The Ford 841 I have no idea, it may be scrap but my neighbor could use the loader.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
