Well, it basically comes down to the fact that it's their money they're spending and their tractors they're parting and they're completely free to do as they please. There's obviously more money in parting rare and unusual tractors and the parts have a higher perceived "value". I don't agree with the practice personally and don't like seeing old tractors parted and scrapped, but I've certainly purchased used parts and will continue to do so. Some guys aren't in it to preserve our ag history, but are in it to make money. You can disagree, but it makes little difference. And there's no denying that a lot of the old tractors are worth more one piece at a time than in one piece. Pretty much everything is. Buying every part over the counter to build a new car would cost you three times what it would cost to just go buy one.
