At some point here I know I'm going to drag home an old rusty hulk that is beyond hope, and I'm going to have to part it out.
When you part out any tractor, there are a few "hot" parts that get used/sold quickly, some that will get used/sold eventually, a few that might prove useful someday, and a LOT of pieces that are never going to get used or sold.
Major castings like transmission and differential housings, frame rails, front bolsters, rear wheel centers... Most of that stuff doesn't break very often and takes up a lot of space.
I can't have piles of old tractor parts stacked around the edge of my property.
Let's say I've already offered what's left up to you guys and there are no takers, even at $0. What do I do with these near-useless parts?
If I scrap them, no doubt a group of you will form an angry mob, and show up on my front porch with torches and a rope... I can't keep them, I can't give them away, and I can't scrap them.
