Went to look at a Cub low boy the other day offered by two sons of the owner who passed away.The Cub was beyond my interests for condition and the mower deck rusted out badly.However the one brother says to the other give him the Cub cadet.His brother says oh I threw that in the dumpster.What! I look in and he already has it crushed by other huge metal junk items.They didnt even unbolt the vises off the dads old workbenches.The Cub cadet was crushed and so was I.

I stopped by a freinds who has a salvage yard. There in plain view was an H Farmall. He had just used his John Deer Track Hoe to break it in pieces. I told him that I would pay more then salvage value for the next one. He said the tractor was straight but the engine was stuck. Seemed like a waste to me.

I know a guy that runs a metal recycling business that will bust, bend, cut, or otherwise mutilate any thing made of metal and send it to the mill as long as he can make a profit. I don’t know how many tractors he has recycled over the years.

As frustrated as this has made me, I really can’t blame him. He was just trying to make a living and couldn’t afford to let them set in his yard in hopes that someone would come along and save them. He used to call me when he bought one, and I have rescued a couple of F-12’s and an F-20 from him. Now he is well enough off that he is starting to let tractors set now, choosing to recycle other machinery instead.

Maybe what we need is a federally funded program to save the Farmall’s. :>)

Arrrrrggg! I'm a "saver", and hearing things like that drives me nuts! Someone in my family will not only throw out 'good" stuff, but will break it for fun before he throws it out.
Arrrrgg!

Sounds like something my brother would do.

A few years back I traded something for a nice older lawn tractor. Don't remember the brand, but it was pretty good sized and had a dozer blade mounted on the front. I had this tractor sitting outside of our ranch shop waiting for the day I got around to getting it running. Well, my brother and the hired man were "cleaning up". They thought the lawn tractor needed to be up in our iron pile instead of there beside the shop where I put it. I can't figure if they tied a long rope to it and pulled it up there with nobody steering and rolled it a few times, or if they just grabbed it with the grapple-fork on the loader tractor. But one front wheel is bent clear back under it now, the steering wheel is bent down over the hood, and the seat's all bent up.

Too bad there's not a season on stupid people!
