Brad: No I don't think we will run out of antique tractors. Once the number reach a certain level the demand for parts will disappear as well. It is a balancing item. Right now a lot of people seem to be looking for parts. The biggest problem with this is lack of patience. Michaels post proves this, a couple of the items mentioned cost as much as his tractor. The hard fact on all of this is people part with their money much too easily today. This is why I keep three tractors very much the same. You never need to be in a hurry for parts. 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.
