Realistically, if you compare the amount of old farm machinery out there (old tractor hulks plus all other stuff) to the amount that could realistically be restored or refurbished to working condition, then account for the number of guys who would take on such projects, the amount of stuff heading to the scrap heap doesn't suprise me. It would amaze you and I how many guys with all that junk sitting around would keel over if they found out what some guys spend on getting the old stuff back to working condition. All of us usually do what is easiest, and with the price these days of scrap steel and cast iron I can't really blame most of them for doing it the easiest way possible. Of couse, those of us reading this forum don't see it that way but you must look at it from the point of view of a guy that has tons of stuff sitting there which is potential money in his jeans but has no interest in going to the trouble of advertising it, dealing with treasure hunters and tractor jockeys, and then still being left with piles of stuff that nobody wants. Good topic for discussion that's for sure.
