I was at an automotive salvage yard one time. Fairly new pick-up sitting there that belonged to the owner. Nothing wrong with it at all. I'm sure he had been driving it. A guy came in wanting a front bumper. The owner there said he didn't have one. Then he said "Hold on", I got one out here. He had one of his help go out, drive truck in, and pull the bumper off. Sold the guy the bumper off a perfectly good truck. I said "You are going to part that out?" He said "Sure am, if I get one that is recked or broke down I can't sell everything off of it. If I part this one out, I can sell everything off of it and the parts are more demanding now because the vehicle is common on road ways, unlike an old vehicle that is all wore out when you get it for salvage and not to many like it on road anymore." The guy made perfect sense to me after I thought about it. There is alot of difference being in the newer vehicle salvage and older tractor salvage though, but the same apply's to a certain extent. I think it happens more than a guy realizes, that somebody fixes one up that should of went to salvage, and one goes to salvage that should of been fixed up. Maybe thats how the salvage guys keep the good tractors and bad tractors in a continueing rotation. They buy the best for salvage, and let the junk be sold to the people restoring. Creates there own market for parts that way too. Well, that might be a little humor, but I am personally against parting out one that is in the fix up catagory.
