Does anyone know how good parts might be from a burnt tractor. I junked most of it but kept mainly the dropbox and the front 4x4 axle.I know both parts will need seals. Im mainly concerned with strength after the heat.

Not enough info to give you a good answer.
If it got hot enough to burn the tires off and/or the oil out of it I would say the whole thing is scrap.
If it just burned the paint and peripherals off of it most of it can be salvaged.
Photos show a burned 3600 I bought.
I had to replace all of the peripherals on it - inj pump, starter, alternator, radiator, wiring etc, etc but the tractor itself was not damaged at all.

I junked the tranny because all the oil was burned out but the dropbox looks pretty good. The front axle still had oil in it but it took heat from the tires burned off it.

Ultradog, can you quickly explain how you painted that tractor? Wire wheel, sand blast, pressure washer? How do you prep?

My 4000SU looked a lot like Ud's 3600, the right front tire has also burnt off along with the loaders hyd hoses.
Replaced the tank, blasted the tin, hoods a little warped when you unlatch it but I'm ok with that, it's a work tractor.
Didn't keep the loader.

First I really went after it with a pressure
washer then I took Everything off of the
engine and spent a lot of time with
different shapes/sizes of wire wheels.
It did not hurt the ps pump or the column
but the right cylinder was bad. From the
tank back it was fine. Fire did not burn the
fuel in the tank. Did burn the right front
tire.
Then my usual wash it all down with lacquer
thinner and brushes then prime/paint.
I had another parts tractor with a broken
crankshaft so had all the parts.
I had to replace the center hoods as they
were badly warped. The nose and fuel tank
cowel were ok. I had them sandblasted and
reused them.
