Folks, On the surface it would seem like an abomination to part out a running tractor, however, the tractor in question may in turn allow a dozen tractors now not running to once again run and be incorporated into either working or show or pulling tractors. While there are boneyards that many parts can be gleaned from non running tractors, there are also parts needed that may not be gotten from a boneyard. Engine blocks, heads, gears, to name a few. Even good tin work is recyclable as wittnessed by the fact that everyone wants a good straight grill, but there are so few to be had. Most of them are bent, rusted or otherwise need lots of work to be put back into shape. Good hoods are also in short supply. I'm not saying I totally aprove of parting out good tractors, but its not necessarily a zero sum gain. Actually, I see no difference in parting out a good running tractor than building a modified or radical puller from a perfectly good running tractor.
