Eldon no joke I completed this last week. I have been cleaning things up for the last few years. I have gotten rid of most of the project tractors/equipment that I had. If I had not touched it in the last two years I sold it. I had things that I had owned for over 20 years and had never found the time to fix/repair/restore.
The majority of the parts I had left where things you would rarely need. I parted out a LOT of JD 3020 and 4020s in the mid 1990s. I could buy the early ones for $3500-4500 all day long. This was for a running tractor. I could get $2500 for a running diesel motor. The left hand remote setup with all the lines and linkage would run $1000. Sell a good hood for $500 rear fenders for $400. So pretty soon you had a profit and had lost of stuff to still sell.
I had one whole end of a barn loft that had JD 3020 and 4020 frame rails. I bet that I had 30-40 sets. I have only seen 3-4 broke in my life. I had one shed full of fuel tanks. I might have sold 5-10 in my life time. I bet I had 25-30 of them left. Dash panels. Steering columns. Things you just rarely need. I counted 16 front steering motors and housing for 4020s. Some time you might need a motor housing be hardly never the entire front casting.
I now have one 40x80 barn and loft empty. It was full a month ago. I shipped out right at 95 tons of scrap. I bet I could get another 75 if I really got serious about it.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
