Let us know how things sell...I hope that some of it gets saved from the scrappers..In 2012 I went to several big sales in eastern Kansas where they were paying as much as $300-500 per ton..

Ya sad that people look at the $ instead of what and where it goes. A lot of this stuff could well be saved but to many people look at the $$ instead of history and worse what Japan did in 1941 ans China is likely to do sooner then later

I have to drive by a scrap yard every day on my way to work. It make me sick to see what is being junked. Ford 3000 tractors, IHC 2400 backhoe, MF rough terrain forklift, JD 350 dozer. There is a Cat track loader there right now, looks to be a 941. The people at the yard tell me that some of the equipment is driven off the trailers to unload. I tried to buy some of them but they wouldn"t sell. Fearing they might get sued if I hurt myself on the equipment.

Old those common old tractors on the sale bill just are not worth much other than scrap.
People are not going to be using many IH "M" or JD "B" in everyday use. Plus you can buy complete running tractors today for much less than you can get a old stuck one working. So this make there be a smaller market for the used parts anymore.

A good friend runs a salvage yard. He has told me that the common tractors have a higher value as scrap iron now than they do as a parts tractor. HE says he will rarely buy a letter series IH or a styled letter series JD. They will bring too much as scrap.

Also us old guys that like the older common iron are getting older too. The younger guys will still fool with something rare but not as many of the common old tractors.

The odd thing is most of the tractors that sold went for way higher then scrap. A JD-H sold for around $1250 or so and many others sold in the $1000-2500 price range and that sure it more then scrapping them would bring
