My wife s Grandfathers tractor caught on fire. It is a Ferguson T0-20 or a TE-20 I don t know the difference. He said it cranked over a couple of times and exploded in flames. He was able to roll it out of the shed and saved the shed. Don t know if the battery exploded or it had a fuel leak or what. Burnt the steering wheel, battery, all the wiring, and the top radiator hose and belt off. One tire had a lug catch on fire but he got that put out with a container of water that was sitting near by as it had rained the night before.
He (grandfather) is getting long in the tooth and said it was just as well to send it to the scrap yard. I don t know what scrap price is on a 2500 lb tractor but I suspect it is low. The tractor may not be worth fixing (I don t know) but I suspect it is worth more that scrap. I seen a few online that were $1500 in running condition. It has been a while since I used the tractor, but the tires had dry rot and the rear axle seals leaked bad enough there were virtually no brakes.
Since I would have to load it and haul it off I figured if might be best to post it online and sell it where it sits. What would be a fair selling price in this condition?

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
