In fact one of my tractors has been into and out of the parts tractor catergory 3 times in past 10 years. This winter I am using that tractor to plow snow with. I have 3 on different ocasions robed parts from that tractor to keep another going. Once it was parked for a year, I thought of completely dismantling it, then all of a sudden one day I stumbled onto the parts needed to put tractor back together, and found them at a very reasonable price. In essence we are what drives the tractor part business.
