Slightly bummed out....

Posted by P Backus on April 10, 2006 at 13:49:56 from (69.128.33.188):

I stopped at my favorite ag equipment salvage yard today to find
an air cleaner assembly for my W-4, and a fuel filter can for the
706D. A couple of years back they changed the name of the
place and became much more active in scrap metal, rather than
salvage. Translation: over half of their "inventory" is gone-
crushed and shipped out. It seemed like what is left was pretty
much all picked through. Had a hard time finding an air cleaner
for an H (W-4). You"d think that would be an easy part to find.
Never did find any 06 filter cans- all the 06 stuff was down to
the bones.

Then on the way home, I passed a place that always had a very
rusty old Farmall (H, I think) with a broken wheel hub sitting in
the yard. I never intended to buy it or anything. It looked pretty
rough and I can"t save every old Farmall, but I always would look
for it when I"d go past. You know, the same way you know about
every piece of junk sitting around within a 30 mile radius of your
house. Anyway, now it"s gone too. Presumably scrapped.

I just kind of hate to see that. I"m a "junk" kind of guy. I don"t
want to buy all my parts off of e-bay. and pay more in shipping
than I paid for the part.
Just my rant du jour!
Paul
