I stopped at my favorite ag equipment salvage yard today to find an air cleaner assembly for my W-4, and a fuel filter can for the 706D. A couple of years back they changed the name of the place and became much more active in scrap metal, rather than salvage. Translation: over half of their "inventory" is gone- crushed and shipped out. It seemed like what is left was pretty much all picked through. Had a hard time finding an air cleaner for an H (W-4). You"d think that would be an easy part to find. Never did find any 06 filter cans- all the 06 stuff was down to the bones. Then on the way home, I passed a place that always had a very rusty old Farmall (H, I think) with a broken wheel hub sitting in the yard. I never intended to buy it or anything. It looked pretty rough and I can"t save every old Farmall, but I always would look for it when I"d go past. You know, the same way you know about every piece of junk sitting around within a 30 mile radius of your house. Anyway, now it"s gone too. Presumably scrapped. I just kind of hate to see that. I"m a "junk" kind of guy. I don"t want to buy all my parts off of e-bay. and pay more in shipping than I paid for the part. Just my rant du jour! Paul
