Cokato salvage was loading up all their case parts in the dumpster for salvage yesterday as I came to get some parts for my 1030.Very sad to see as this is the 3rd yard in minnesota to call it quits!Not many left up here as prices for uncut salvage hits record level because of China's demand for steel.All the more reason for us collectors to stay the coarse!My 2 cents worth

Klein's in Pipestone closed a while back also, lots of good tin work went in the dumpster! Luckily The owners (Adrian, Greg, Jeff and Terry Klein) let collectors/farmers/ect. in before and sold many good parts at reasonable prices, so many good parts didn't get scrapped. They were a good bunch of guys to do business with. I still miss that yard. Hendricks had some older stuff that went to scrap this summer, again I suppose steel prices were a factor.

Sure is sad to hear of another closing the doors. Sure wish that we could get all the salvagable parts and save them for future generations like myself. Who knows if you will be able to find any parts in __ years. You enter the sum. It seems to be comming fast.

Paynsville and willmar are gone.They quit because of steel demand and pressure from environmentalist's worried about ground water contamination.They had to do boring tests regularly and werent selling all that much any more to keep paying the help as so they told me.Sad to see,will have to go all the way to don's to get case parts,that will be fun!

This is sad to hear....25 years from now many of the parts now being scrapped will become scarce indeed. I was unable to be at an auction near here (Clare Mich.) this spring and heard however of many good CASE parts being purchased for scrap price and thrown into the dump truck headed for the metal yard. Hope future generations keep up.

Who were the others, did they give any reason for quiting it seems parts are in high demand and pricey.

Paynesville was one of the other ones. Is Willmer the other ??? Great Scott Gerdy, between the high iron prices and the overseas buyers what will be left? Pictures?
