    Should it be scrapped or get her running again.

    Old TD 6, starts on gasoline then switches over to diesel.

    From looking at the one picture half hidden in shrubbery it looks pretty solid.

    I'm sure you would have no problems getting it running.

    I've been working on Rob at the farm to take on this project, they have that nice big shop and enough money to see this project through, as most of you know he's in a wheelchair. This afternoon remembering that I was waiting for the ground to be dry enough to drive in and grab a few pictures to show him.

    If he decides to get the old crawler I can always help on the restoration, ownership doesn't matter to me.

    If it's vintage, quality made and mostly complete, I will always vote for bringing it back to life vs scrapping...but that's just me...

    I vote bring it back to life. Those things are bullet/bomb proof.
    Give back more to this world than we take.
