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.

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.
