Not sure that the real goal here should be that many of these find thier way to being restoration projects. Thinking the real goal here should be that many of these tractors should atleast find thier way to a salvage yard, so they can be finished parted out the rest of the way before being scrapped.
When a tractor is to far gone to restore, or that doesn't make to much sense and its only missing a hood and grill, is what is really sad, is when the rest of it goes for scrap when there is still alot of useful parts there to get. Just because the tractor is beyond restoration, doesn't mean there isn't any parts left there to get. A number of these tractors looked fairly complete, and by far not all parted out yet.
Sometimes liquidating to much stuff at one time, brings about alot of stuff just going to scrap. Seen this happen at a couple big auctions in recent years. There was just simply to much stuff there for the hobbyist and small time salvage yards to buy up. So, is what happened was, the nicer stuff (complete and maybe ran) went to the hobbyist and salvage yards. And all else just went to the iron man, no matter how many good parts was left on it. The salvage guys were getting all they wanted just buying the nicer stuff. All of it kind of just a result of to much stuff being sold at one time. When that happens, the hobbyist can't buy all the runners. So the salvage guys upgrade on the quality of what they are buying. But they of course can only buy up so much as well. And this leaves a bigger bulk of stuff at the bottom. And the iron man ends up with ALL of that. The hobbyist and salvage guys would end up with more of that bottom bulk of things, if not so much of it is all liquidated at one time. I seen it happen. At two different very large auctions.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
