Brad, in a nutshell, YES. A thousand dollar tractor can be parted out for several..I have seen some decent looking tractors sitting in a yard waiting to be dismantled..however, there is a great demand for these parts and the perfectly good tractor may end up keeping several others going or help in the restoration of several others, so its not a total loss. Tractor wreckers are reluctant to sell a tractor because they know you will be offended by what they want for it and they know they can make a lot more by parting it out..an example I bought a tractor for $750, a tractor salvage company bought an identical one for a thousand...they told me they will get $400 for the head and $350 for the pump..they have the rest of the tractor to sell, rims, used tires, starter, alt,water pump, block,axles, brake parts front end, sheet metal,fenders, dash components, lights etc,etc...saw an Oliver Diesel waiting in line..felt bad about it, but then I felt good about being handed a wrench and told to help myself with whatever I wanted of of an H...that's the way it is...Mike in Exeter Ontario
