Looked like a B and a C or CA.  There is one more sitting there since I was 
there but I can't see it well enough from the highway to tell what it is.
I didn't go over and look at the others.  Just saw them from about 50 feet 
away.   They are in a Salvage yard in Pollocksville, NC.

What model AC's and where are they located? (if you're not buying them)

Ralph I'm glad it's that way where you are.  There are 3 AC's sitting at the
salvage place about 10 miles from me.  All of them look fixable to me.
The heaviest one in the bunch weighs about 3000 lbs so someone sold them for
$350.00 or so.  Thankfully the guy set them off to the side to try and
resell rather than crushing them.  I hope they are still there.  I wanted to
bring them home with me but I was there selling stuff I didn't want to part
with
because I needed the cash so I couldn't buy them.  I'm about the same.  I
have hopes of restoring some of my AC "fleet" someday but for now I run two
of
them and use parts from the others to keep them going.

I guess I have never been much into restoring my antique tractors. Just
using them and keeping them in working condition. Making a few videos of
them at work for youtube. There are no local shows within driving
distance and I don't have a trailer to transport mine any distance
It seems old tractors have really jumped in price too. I watched a farm
auction online the other day where an old rusty Fordson Major diesel
sold for $2600. It was running but needed work.
I don't think any old tractors are being sold for scrap nowadays.

Ralph in Sask.
