I guess I would tell him that I'd hate to see it just scrapped, and that there is a lot of good stuff there that maybe you could sell. Then, see if he would give you a price on everything, or just the stuff with good parts. Maybe it would be cheaper than you think, maybe he would be glad to see it go to use and see you make a little on it. I don't know about your area, but scrap steel is still around $40 a ton last I checked in my area. If you didn't have the money to buy everything, assuming he would sell it to you, maybe you could buy the stuff that would give you the highest return in parts, then go back and buy whats left. If you tell him, I just don't have the money to buy all of it right now, but I can buy (these pieces) right now, but WOULD like to buy the rest soon. Assuming you weren't causing him to be over his intended target date of getting rid of all of it. Once it goes to the scrapyard, it will either be crushed or very high priced parts. There is one near me that you can buy parts REALLY cheap, as long as you can get there before they start cutting it up. The other will pay $150 for a junk H Farmall, put aside to sell parts off from, and then want $750 for a seized up core engine. Just be honest with him and I'm sure you'll come out all right.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
