Old Elgin Motor

[Huntducks]

I have an old Sears/Elgin 6 H.P. motor that I am looking to sell. Does anyone know what the value of these old motors is? The plate identifies it as 571.58642 and the serial # is 642-3487. It does not run, the side casing is blown out and what looks to be the crankshaft is visible. It is really a shame because otherwise the motor is in exceptional condition with slight scratches on the original paint/decals, has the original glass bowl, original pull rope with wood handle etc. Just looking to get it out of my basement but would like to know its' value.

Un fortunately sounds like a parts motor.No telling what else it needs.
If you could get $25 feel lucky.Actually you could try to part it out on ebay.53 6hp Built by West Bend. Parts will fit Elgin or West Bend.

Unfortunately not much for value. $25 would be doing real well, I paid $15 for a similar one a couple of months ago, all it needs is a carburetor cleaning.
