How bad is it? I think they're still buying tractors like that for export....

Would you be interested in selling. Whereabouts are you. Looking for one to restore.

If it was send into a scrap yard as metal about 400-1000 euro at a guess. If taken by a dismantler and there was parts on it maybe a bit with s thousand but hard to see a dismantler being interested to any great extent. Google and ring a few. Export was where the action was previously but the heat has gone from that as well

Good original tin work might be worth more than the scrap value of the engine/gearbox/backend. take it off if you're selling for scrap, someone might be interested if they're restoring. Is it multi-power?

Have a look here, prices of parts sold on ebay

Yard scrap and heavy scrap are different prices
Now you have the issues with the tyres on it but last time I sold heavy scrap it was 170/ton it's a few years back and it varies a bit. Light scrap is back at 50% or less of heavy scrap.
