I have seen a lot of burned up tractors and parts lately on the net and in local auctions. Has anyone anything to share about rebuilding a crispy tractor or using parts from one?

I saw a loader frame at a recent auction that got so hot that it had swelled up one enclosed area in the frame like a balloon.. pretty impressive, but I don't think I'd want to lift any weight with it..
