[Tractor2nv]

Very touchy topic here as I find myself on both sides of the issue. After reading everyones reply to this thread I ask myself "where do I stand?" as a collector,user,trader,seller on eBay or CL and on this site.I do have a self conviction as to parting out a running machine to a 30 yr.old fence row find frozen from the elements...when it's gone it's gone forever! My first fence row restoration I still have but have moved many others after that.Salvage yards was a good contact after several Tennessee tornados,I could buy @ pennies on the pound. And now the way the economy is folks out of work are scrapping everything.I'm out of work after 28 years building Peterbilt trucks.I have co-workers that has lost their homes,spouses,trucks,tractors,farms and so on.I am hanging on so far and these great little machines and their parts very much helps to pay the bills. I'm no Joe's OP or mow'rfreedom. If it's a rare part or nice option to restore and I can part with it,I have to list it to help make ends meet at this time.Running tractors leave as a whole.Molested tractors,fire,tornado,rolled off a trailer can be a candidate for parting...parts for myself,restoration or as is. What do I do with all of the leftovers? They do not go to the salvage yard,they go to another Cubnut contact and files them in a barn.Pic is them leaving last May 2010.
