If a guy like Erol can start a business and make a success of selling repro parts, I say more power to him. If he can produce and distribute high quality parts that others can use and if he can do it in Turkey where costs may be lower, then many of us could use what he may have to offer. I think, however, he will have a hard row to hoe, so to speak.
More quality repo parts might mean a little less parting out of still usable machines, or the ability to keep something running instead of consigning it to the scarp heap. I was chastised on this board a few years ago for suggesting it was wrong to part out the RUNNING TRACTORS that Steve talks about, especially to glean cosmetic parts. Around that time I had someone stop and talk to me while I was using my 50 year old tractor in a field near the highway. He wanted to know if I would sell him the grill from my tractor, as his had been altered by a loader installation. I thought to myself, what a jerk; this is the same mentality that thinks it is ok to part out a serviceable running machine.
