I know where you are coming from. In most cases, the wife will outlive the husband. On top of that, I am diabetic, which normally means even shorter life span. I had accumulated around 200 old tractors that I have been selling parts off of. The market this past year has been nowhere near recent years. Also, can't put my finger on it, but something inside me said its time. Last fall, I started scrapping out. I'm getting $.09 per lb which I think is pretty good.
