If the tractor part was no longer serviced or available aftermarket, you would find parts the same way many of us do our older cars right now. Scrounging at junk yards, swap meets, e-bay, etc. The web has made it much easier, giving global contacts with ease. Not only can you search the world for parts, but you can search the world for knowledge. As for the many cars that have been junked because of a bad brain box, that's usually just a flat rate mechanics determination to beat the clock. Many times, with just a little investigation, one can find the individual diode or such that needs replacement on the board, if the board is bad in fact (many of them have a lose wiring connection or ground actually). As for repairing brain boxes I know of shops that specialize in this sort of board/box repair work. They do nothing but repair circuit boards and computer boxes for various equipment and vehicles. Computer boards and such are only intimidating to those of us who don't know our way around them. To these guys, it's as basic as a lawnmower engine, and just as repairable. But again, in this country with it's "new and improved" throw it away because it's old mentality, many easily repairable items are thrown away and replaced with a new one because the owner does not want it repaired. That includes tractors and automobiles. Not that they can't be repaired, not that it can't be repaired quite affordably, but simply because the owner doesn't want it repaired.
