Dad had the county extension agent who helps with feed rations tell him to clean up all the "junk" laying around and scrap it earlier this year. He looked at him and said "unless it's in that spreader over there (pointing to our scrap hauler which is a junk manure spreader) it's still got a purpose, even if we don't know what it is yet"
We do have a dump box at our farm now which we are slowly cleaning some stuff and scrapping, but not much is going in without much consideration and contemplation. I'm working on our gehl green chopper right now, and will be robbing parts off our parts one behind the barn. Planning to go through it and perhaps pull off what we think we'll need or could be usefull and pitch the rest, but I don't think there will be much left on it for useable stuff anymore.
Same thing with an old Kools blower we have behind the barn. Ours got hit by my brother on a tractor earlier this summer, so I tore it down, cut out a good peice of metal from the other and patched it in, then I needed the cast pulley off the junk one that drives the shaker pan and auger. It had 2 peices busted out of it but I filled them in with Ni-rod, ground them down smooth and shaped the groove again for the belt. Ran up 8 loads of bedding with it so far and it runs great. Will finish stripping the old one of good parts and will scrap the rest.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
