Hello all, I recently lost a tractor of mine to a building fire. It was a 1959 Case 611B (600). The tractor was in an old family friend's repair shop slowly being worked on as it was affordable for me. This was not a daily use tractor, nor was it a family heirloom tractor for me. Just a tractor I wanted to own because it reminded me of a neighbor's tractor back in the 70's when I was younger. I always like the 100 series Case tractors. This had the Case-o-matic in it. The tires were shot on the back. I think the value would have been about $1500-$2000.00 before the fire. Anyway, the tractor is charred badly. Is there any salvage yard or anyone that thinks there is much value left in this tractor? The building owner is an older gentleman that has no phone, no electricity, no home. This fire happened in a small town close to me recently. I have no idea if the building owner had/has insurance as I can't contact him anyway other than by chance he happens to be eating at the only establishment in this little town. Do I try to talk to my homeowners insurance about it, or just forget about it and walk away? My wife doesn't even know I own this good old iron tractor. She would be VERY pizzed at me.. She is not the farm type gal anyway.... Any thoughts out there? Or words of advice for me please? Thank you everyone. I am from Southern Minnesota by the way, if that helps at all. Kow Farmer Kurt

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
