we had a 4440 in a shed fire. only steel and cast left. does anyone have some experience re using parts from burned equipment? the trans was new and would like to sell some stuff off it if the parts are good.

That�s a shame. That�s one of the finest tractors ever built regardless of color.

What a shame, to have such a great tractor get burnt. it is hard to say about exactly what is usable, without knowing the exact conditions of the fire, how hot, how long, etc. If the fluids did not get burned out of the insides, then a lot of the internal parts should be usable. Castings should be OK if they are not cracked. I know a guy whose 1955 Ford 600 "Jubilee" gasser got burnt like that, but he elected to have it rebuilt (by the local Deere dealer, no less). Had to go right through it. Cost about $6K to get this done, must be the tractor was sentimental to him or something, he had money to burn anyway (no pun intended).

Have put fires out on tractors and combines and it was just a grease fire or tire or cab fire out in the open and fire was put out quickly and saw them repaired and back in the field months later. Those that get oils and fluids burnt out inside and seals all burnt out and bearings and gears really hot in a barn fire are likely just scrap but might be something usable yet. Just delving into the unknown if the used parts will hold up and need to tell who you sell them to where they came from also. Too much heat is just going to change the metal and it will never be the same as when new. Barn and shop fires on a farm are usually more hazardous than a industrial fire because of all of the unknowns in attacking it and later during clean up.

Yep, exactly why it's dangerous to get too close. Those shock asorber bumpers can blow off vehicles too or struts sending metal flying and propane tanks and cutting torch tanks always a problem to watch for.
