The simple facts about repairing, rebuilding, and refurbishing parts. There is simply not enough markup in the finished part to cover the cost of labor/parts in repairing it.
A water pump (for an example) may take an hour to rebuild. In the process it gets cleaned up and refinished. At current shop rates of over $100 per hour, that pump would have to sell for at least the cost of labor, parts, and materials. That would put it in the over $100 price range. A new one costs how much?
Pretty much the same thing with repairing versus replacing appliances. Fixing a $1500 refrigerator is feasible. Repairing a $300 refrigerator is not. Fixing a $30 toaster or a $40 mixer is simply out of the question. The cost of an evaluation already exceeded the cost of a replacement.
Sorry to say, this is the world we live in these days.

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
