A recent post about parting out tractors made me aware of my weekly reading material. In the Western Ontario Farmer, a weekly paper that serves the farming community there are several ads appearing that even list what is in, new, for wrecking ie)Just in for salvage: I-H 2504,1066,384,414,766 White 1370, 2-85,2-150,2-155,1465, Ford 8600,AC 1-600,200,190XT, MF1085,135 and Kubota 4150 4WD
There are four such ads from various wreckers listing the new salvage. There are also several ads under" WANTED" "Burned or damaged tractors in any condition top dollar paid" and there are several ads for farm tractor with or without loaders, any condition, top dollars paid. There are about 4 dealers across Ontario that buy tractors in any condition, amass 100's and then hold a spring or fall auction. I have gone to one of these auctions but never again. The auctioneer starts a bid on the tractor and after some time he just says "That's not enough money boys" and he moves on to the next..there are no bargains and the auctioneer makes sure of it. Many tractors at these auctions go across the border because of the exchange on the US dollar. So wrecking is big business and there's a demand for the parts that become available..it makes interesting reading...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
