1956 D6 Sell or part it out?

I was a member here years ago and you guys were a great help getting our old dozer running again. Sadly, it has been parked for years and I think it is time for it to go. It "was running when I parked it", but needs two batteries (it was converted to a 24v electric starter). Pony motor has been removed, though I do have the manifolds and electric starter for the pony motor somewhere on a shelf.

My question is would it be better to try and find a buyer? Or should I make it a "donor" machine and use the parts to help others keep their machines going? Cosmetically it is in rough shape and I know the rollers need work. Thanks.

My vote is to sell it as a whole and include ALL the parts, papers, & manuals in the sale of the machine-including the old pony if it's still around.

OIH already asked, but where is the machine located and what's your asking price?

Thanks in advance for the opportunity to preserve another antique machine.

Kind regards,
