I still cant beleive it...my friend took a truck into the scrap yard. guy behind him had a Ford 12ft transport disc, it needed some help here and there. But the guy scrapped it. I bought it this morning and a Oliver 1265 Diesel(Fiat) with a very, very good uncracked/broken front loader. I have a 1265 at the farm this will work out great. The tractor has a cracked block...I think I can do something with with it. Why the He11 would someone scrap this stuff, heck ebay can do you better than that!Makes a guy sick. Either we are definately a throw away society or people are too stupid to fix things anymore.
 
Most people do not have a clue as to what they have but know they can get X $ per lb of scrap so they go with a sure thing even if it is not the right thing to do. Ya that tractor is not one that every body in the world would want but then I can not ever see one going to be cut up either. Shoot I would prefer an old tractor be used as part of a fence before being cut up for scrap
 
My dads like that If it breaks scrap it an go buy some thing else I"ll try about every thing to fix it untill I call some thing scrap
 
I was sitting in a restuarant a couple years ago, saw a truck / trailer with a 6 row JD #71 going in to scrap yard. Probably didn't get $150 for the iron.
