Harold H said: (quoted from post at 00:02:56 04/23/10) Why would you recommend scrapping a good restorable tractor?
That's assuming it's restorable. All tractors are, I guess, but some are going to take more work and parts than others.
By scrapping, I would assume you mean parting out. When you part out a tractor you are helping other people build their own tractors. The parts have to come from somewhere because they aren't making a lot of them anymore.
In this case, there's money to be made. That tractor can be "flipped" for parts and he stands to turn his $250 into about $1000, most of that by selling front end if it's any good.
