If these tractors are truely only worth scrap, why did you spend more on them than they were worth for scrap? That was stupid. Read your own post, it took scrap prices to come up for you to get your money back. Come on. That can only mean you paid to much for them to start with. I don't believe that. Well I believe what you are saying, as far as getting your dollar. Its the part you left unsaid that you are not seeing. You think you are going to put a junker F-20 or VAC up for sell on E-bay and sell it for just over scrap, you are nuts. You are dealing with a world wide auction house on E-bay. Nobody in there right mind is going to drive more than half-way across there own state to haul a junk F-20 or VAC home. Paying for shipping is way out of the question. Is a parts tractor worth more than scrap? It most certainly is, but only on a local market. You got to sell something like that at a local auction (perhaps one of your own), or through local classifieds. Stop and think about a little bit. You can't tell me that if you had good rear rims for an F-20, that you can't get more money for them than there weight in scrap prices. Ya sure, the bone pile is going for scrap no matter what, but you aren't going to convince me that the good parts are only worth scrap even at the higher price. If I was you, I would get in touch with the closest tractor salvage yard. They know what scrap is going for to. There not stupid.
