He said it was a tractor rescue to try and save as many of these tractors from scrap as they can. He explains the CURRENT price if interested. He doesn't mention what they'll do with the tractors that are left over, and not sold at the current asking price. What's he gonna do with what's left over??? Keep it 6 months and put it in another line up? I'm not a follower of this guy on you tube. Maybe he does, but I'm guessing not.
Actually, is what I'm guessing, is what's left over will go to scrap. Or he wouldn't mention the fact that he was trying to save as many as he can from scrap. He also mentions something about this being another line up, or entails that there was a previous one. What happened to the no sales of the line up before?
I'm not buying his 190 a ton base price either. In my area, scrap is about half that right now. Also going to place my guess that the left overs are sold for scrap at a lesser amount than 190.
Which, brings about what I mentioned in my reply to main post. Liquidate to much stuff at one time, equals more of the bottom bulk of it going for scrap. You can luquidate to much stuff at one time for hobbyist to absorb. Maybe things are different in other areas of the country, but the salvage yards in my area with in driving distance that dabble in old tractors parts, are not huge salvage yards by any means. Ran by people that are not exactly big time operators. They are not big enough to absorb other entire smaller salvage yards. So, they likewise can't absorb all of it, if to much is liquidated at one time.
This has been going on for a long time. So why is anything different now? Is what is different now is, it use to be pretty common to see tractors from the 20's and 30's on farm sales. Now it's not. It's kind of a rarity to see a farm sale that has tractors from 20s and 30s even on it. The never ending flow of that era of tractors going to salvage yards is coming to an end. So once the masses of the salvage yards, hoarders, and alike, are gone (liquidated), it's just gone now and won't be replenished from the use to be farm sale supply.
Maybe doesn't make much difference right now on an 806, or even an M farmall. But, on tractors from the 30's and before, boy that's drying up fast. If those are sitting in a salvage yard about half parted out, and the rest of it just goes to scrap because the salvage yard is going out of business, that is kind of turning into big deal. Because the supply to the salvage yard of that era of tractors from other sources besides other salvage yards, is running out. Kind of getting to the point that if they are just melted, they are just gone from salvage yards.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
