How many have parts machines? How many just park em out back in the fence row? How many tear em apart for parts and haul the carcase off?Me,tractors get lined up uot back. Other stuff,like combines,balers,plows?...I like to dismantle .Keeps the 'junk' at bay and the parts are there when I need em.
 
I've got an extra round baler here. It's getting pretty stripped. I took a lot of the parts off and put them inside,computer,sensors,electric twine arm,pickup tines,belts,wiring,things like that. I've got another Gehl silage cart here. That one actually could be used if I put the tires and wheels and a PTO shaft back on it. I made the huge mistake of taking a CaseIH chopper to the scrap yard because I didn't intend to ever own another one. I kept some of the electrical and hydraulic parts along with the spout and corn head. I ended up buying another one the next model larger and wish now that I'd have kept the whole thing. A whole bunch of the parts are interchangeable. The big thing is that the blower band is the same and it was only a few years old,but it's been melted down now.


I've got an Oliver 1600 parts tractor here. A lot of the parts on that are interchangeable on a variety of the four digit Olivers. Most of those parts are off and are on a pallet in the corner of the toolshed.


When steel got so high a few years ago,I scrapped a lot of parts machines. I kept the tires and wheels,cylinders and hoses,some of the chains that I knew were fairly new. I regret getting rid of some of that stuff,but something in me just snapped one day and I started loading things up.
 
I have:

H parts tractor, bought it for the tires, I don?t have an H

IH 330 parts tractor, broken crank, put the rear wheels/tires on my new IH 350.

Two IH #45 balers, scrap metal when they were new, haven?t improved much.

Farmall Super C parts tractor, another one mostly in pieces here and there on pallets.

Heston PT 7/ PT 10 some parts fit my 1091.

Pile of Grimm tenders to keep two more going.

New Idea 404 rake.

Various motor vehicles in various stages of decomposition, parts fit operating vehicles.

Other stuff I may not have remembered.
 
I have 3 parts mbalers, leave them mostly intact just rob parts as needed, one is getting pretty bare, I also have a Farmall 560 D parts tractor within reach of the air hose from my shop. It is mostly all there except for steering and seat and other parts I robbed for my good 560
 
I've got a parts 45 combine. I bought it to pull all the parts I thought I'd need and scrap the rest. I have pulled some and put them inside and the combine is still here. I'll probably end up keeping it here. Already scrapped the heads.
 
We had several parts machines around, and other stock piles of parts removed and stored with the remaining carcass hauled off for scrap.

All gone now, but i do have a parts car i picked up for $50. So far I've taken the nearly new exhaust, 4 new struts, mirrors, rims(for snow tires i already had) and the blower motor. I still want to pull the head lights and a few other potential parts, but then i need to get it out of my driveway.

For the most part I try to disassemble any parts machines and have parts ready to go when I need them. Keeps things ordered and I don't have junk sitting around. It's also helped me understand the inner workings of the equipment that I use, plus I don't have to waste good weather taking parts off when I need them NOW.
 
And when you try to take any parts you think you might need and scrap the rest the part you will need is on what you have scraped.
 
In the late 70's I bought a hunkered down M sitting in a junkyard. My deal with the owner was that I'll give you a hundred dollars for it and every day after school (I was a teacher) I would come by and remove parts until I had everything I wanted and then he could scrap it. I still use stuff off that old tractor Ellis
