I think the suggested scrap price is a fair offer.  

Depends upon what you want.  If you want to own and drive a B around, find
one that somebody else has fixed up already.  You'll be money and time
ahead...possibly a fair amount of money and time.  But if you want a
project, this would be a good one.  Parts are certainly readily available.  

Personally, I enjoy the process and am kind of bored with the ownership of
the finished product.  If it ain't stuck and missing a few parts, I say,
"What's the challenge in this one?" 

Different strokes...

Looking for information,
 
I am looking at a 1950's vintage JD-B, has been in a hedge-row for about 12
years, rubber is inflated, gentleman selling it inflated them with air,
can't tell me if the rears had any calcium in them - tractor belonged to his
father.  It will turn over using a "bar" but not running, no battery, has
hole in radiatior, definatly a restore project.
Anyone out there who has done a "B" restoration that can give me some hints
as to what to look for as pitfalls in this restoration?
 
Thanks,
Pharmr Bruce
