I agree its a shame for it to go to scrap. There are alot of factors. Not enough room in a shed, not enough money (alot of people are living check to check), not enough interest (current collectors are not getting younger and younger guys are not getting into it) etc. etc. I think a really big issue is getting parts. Lets face it that Moline went out of business years ago and alot of people don't want to have something shipped from 500 miles away. I'm not trying to single out one company either. Its like that for Oliver, Allis, Cockshutt and a bunch of others as well. Don't know if its like this everywhere but when I go to a tractor pull anymore there are 100 tractors there (maybe) and a third are John Deere, a third are International and the other third is made up of all the other brands. Lots of reasons but parts and popularity are big.
