Not sure if I could even bring myself to tear one up for parts. It would have to be in pretty bad shape or missing the rear half etc. But that is indeed a good idea. I'm led to believe there was plenty of iron painted red sold up here in Maine but I haven't stumbled across a parts tractor myself. I'd look further afield but it isn't easy gettin stuff hauled up here. Cost me $240 just to move mine 70 miles when I bought it. Now if I were set up with my own transport and could just head off across the country if I found one ....... but that would raise other issues along the lines of how comfy I find the couch for sleepin.
Another issue is that the tractor is an integral part of my management of the property. I can't really sit back waiting for a parts machine to cross my path.

If this steering change is going to run better than $1,300+ why don't you start looking for a complete 300/350U with PS to buy for parts from a private party. You might be surprised what you may find. Pay up to $1,500 and you will have a good inventory of used parts and sell what you don't need.
That's the way I would approach it.
Good Luck, Dell

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
