Yesterday I went to a salvage yard to look at a 671 that had been brought in. I expected to find a stripped down wreck and that the yard would charge used
parts prices for anything I wanted. Long and short of it was that it wasn't stripped down and I got some parts that aren't easily found including an intact
center hood panel. That was surprise #1. Surprise #2 was that when I went to pay for all the stuff, they only charged me by the scrap metal per pound
price. I got out of there for a song. I'm sure some of you may have had similar experiences. So I made sure they knew I was interested in any ford tractor
that came in. I figure a lot of these parts are going to get harder and harder to get and we need to rescue all that we can, especially at scrap price.
