It will be interesting to see how many of the big time parts guys are willing to invest big $$$ in inventory in order to have parts tractors for the next 10 or 20 years. I cant see the big guys like Wengers here in pa trucking lots of parts tractors back east unless they go for almost nothing. I could see them buying the tractors that are fairly complete. It will be interesting to see what happens...

From the research I have done and from what I have heard about Kruse, stuff at this sale is not going to go cheap, which means not a lot will go for parts/scrap. It will be mostly dedicated collectors buying who (more than likely) have the capital to restore these tractors, no matter what their condition. The problem with this is after the sale a lot of people are going to think that that old, stuck tractor sitting in their fencerow is worth $10 000. I am hoping that the price of old iron in the tractor collecting community doesn't skyrocket to new, unreasonable heights because of this sale.

For every one parted out there is one less one needing parts. Smart salvage people know this and if they salvage them all there will be nobody looking for parts. Headlights, fenders, radiators, steering wheels, magnetos, carburetors, fuel tanks, wheel rims etc are much more commonly needed than transmission cases or axel housings

All I all I think it will be a good thing for the market as many more people will want to save as many of these tractors as possible. When one man had them he just restored what few he could with a little paint and few parts. Now you will have hundreds if not thousands of peple all working to get there prize up an running that could be real good for the antique tractor market as they will need parts and paint and decals all of which are not onsite right now.

I dont believe that the tractors that are parted out will be restored. Tractors with the gears, bearings, or with heads, cranks missing will not be restored. There are bound to be some old iron scraped. How many will be brought back to life would be interesting. How many tranmission cases are needed to restore older tractors. Just to costly to bring one back after decay has set in. If there is such a demand for some of these items I am sure they would have already been sold by (Phillips) Salvage yards dont always sell their surplus iron, whether it be scrap cast or iron, they just let it lay there. This is only one observation. Thanks

The answer is a little over 50% of the non running tractors will be restored. Some will be saved that are as little left but the serial number and the frame.Reare and small numbers make
it happen.
