[AT] McCormick 15-30

[Lane Freeman]

Are you thinking of making it into a puller. I have a 15-30 and a 22-36 and
have thought of doing that. I dynoed the 22-36 and it read out at around 38
HP at 540rpm  But these old bucket piston long stroke engines have
incredible lugging power.  At 300 rpm the dyno was reading out at just under
70hp and was still chugging and barking with no sign of giving in.  I don't
know how this compares to other tractors but just found it interesting. Just
an FYI since I know you are into pulling.

Hood and curtains are nowhere to be found.  No sign of freeze damage to
the radiator or engine block.  I'm thinking this one is probably worth it's
weight at scrap price, maybe a bit more.  It would be an extensive
restoration
project for sure.

Haven't been keeping up with the prices lately but I'd say definetly not a
fortune, There are plenty of these still around. What I normally do is to
find an average selling price for one in good condition or restored. Then I
start deducting for the big ticket items like you have mentioned that have
to be replaced. You didn't mention about the hood and side curtains--take a
good like at them as well. I also check to see if the radiator or block was
drained before it was abandoned. No guarnatee nothing isn't busted but it's
promising when that has been done.

Good luck and keep us posted

John
