One of the problems with a parts tractor is that the bulk of it goes untouched by the parts hunters. The seller is often left with a hulk without wheels so it eventually has to be disposed of (scrap iron) somehow and that costs money too (although they get some back). Some dealers are pretty steep in their prices, say they are asking $75 for the first part they sell after paying $100 for the parts tractor.

I've always found what I need by advertising in the local "free ads" papers stating what I'm looking for, then the private sellers get in touch with you and you cut a much better deal.
