ttractorman, On the surfact, it seems a tragedy to part out an old tractor, however, I have seen many ads where the seller has given someone else the opportunity to buy the tractor whole. Perhaps he asked too much and as a result didnt get any takers so decided to part it out. It is true that sum of a parted out tractor becomes worth more than the whole piece intact. As much as we tend to chastise the seller for parting out an old tractor, most of us who have restored a tractor have been the benificary of such a person. The fact is that one tractor with a stuck engine, or even with a good engine can as a result of being parted out keep 50 or more old tractors of its kind running and spared the same fate. We as restorers cant have it both ways. We cant lament the fact that a tractor is being dismantled and celebrate the results when we get that part that makes ours a finctionable and running beauty.
