i just dont think we need to srap out every 1 that we find that has a wheel missing or a stuffed manifold or water in the cylinders ..
yes it is good that it was saved from a scrap dealer,but it all seems to revolve on whats it worth or how much it cost . not to many say it is a shame to scrap it ,or put the effort into incourageing some young fella to start a life of tinkering. if i find a tractor.if i find a tractor that i do not wish to restore ,i will put a lot of effort into finding it a new owner. if i find half a farmall M i will have it in my mind that i would like to piece it back together some day.. maybee U.S.A is just to lucky and have to much to choose from.
its always good to read a good ending to a story when somebody has just found his gran-pa,s old tractor that got sold away 30 years ago and to have it back in the family.. you know each and every old tractor out there belonged to somebodys grandpa

i have purchased to tractors in USA and need to tack $4000.00 dollars onto the price of each one by the time i get them home.. makes a $1500.00 F30 a very expensive toy to have laying around :( all for the love of tractors ...not money.
