Parts found in barn

[Sunironworks]

Hello folks.

Cleaning out an old barn today I found these pieces. Looks like two 2-cyl engine blocks and a transmission housing. Can anybody identify them? Do they have value?

Thanks...

$0.15 per pound

If in usable condition they are worth a lot more than that to someone. the problem is finding that someone.

If you can get a positive ID, the problem becomes selling, and shipping them. Ends up often being way more trouble than it's worth. Even scrapping, unless you have a lot to go with it, it costs more in gas then scrap value. It sucks, but often the best choice is dig a hole and throw them in it...

Easy to identify by using Google to run the OEM part numbers cast into parts found. M1782T is a clutch housing for a John Deere 40 or 420. M64 is a JD 40, or 420 engine block.

Both would have to be gone over closely looking for cracks/breaks to know if they are really worth something. If you have a tractor salvage yard near, they may give you a bit over scrap price, but probably not much. Someone somewhere is looking for those parts if useable.

This is a link to a used clutch housing, and what it is selling for. CLUTCH HOUSING

This is my JD 420C engine, but the view is the opposite side. I can't place that large port in my memory though.

that someone a long time ago found those parts to be worthy of a barn floor rather than re-installing them should tell you lots about their condition and value. I'm with 15 cent per poun.

Do some googling for a local JD old tractor enthusiast, or go talk to one of the neighbors who has one. My one neighbor has a 2 lunger and runs an old threshing machine with it using a belt.

years ago maybe when new parts were available, they were worthy of the barn floor, but now when there are no more parts available they may be worth fixing to someone.
