You know, I have found that it is better to just lay off sometimes. I know where alot of old tractors are sitting. You ask about them, and they say "No, they aren't for sale. I use to do this and that with them and might fix them up sometime." Or something to that effect. Most generally, you might as well turn your back and walk off. Wait untill they die, and buy it at their estate auction. Never dealt with a scrap yard on anything. Most salvage yards will ussually sale you something they got for what they can part it out for. Salvage yards know what stuff is worth. Scrap yards don't have a clue what stuff is worth other than its melt down value. That's what they do. Melt down iron. They don't get the gist of something being worth a little more than scrap that shouldn't be melted down. Don't know what to tell ya on that. I guess, get it retrieved before it gets to the scrap yard. On the other hand, some people are the oposite. I have a friend that bought a C Farmall that didn't run. The owner didn't even know what kind of tractor it was. He offered in the neighborhood of $500. They said they would take it, if he hauled off all the old iron over in the fence row. In the fence row, was a full line of equipment for the C Farmall. It's people like this that don't know Jack Squat that are the reason for good stuff ending up in the scrap yards to start with. If my freind would of been an iron buyer instead of a tractor buyer, all that stuff would of went to scrap. I got several peices of horse drawn equipment. Numerous people have wanted to buy them. All they wanted was to take the iron wheels off and use them for yard art, and leave the rest of it in a pile at my place.
