Heres a thought. With people sending everything in sight to the scrap yard and the states paying bonuses to new tractor buyers to trade in their older "polluters" destined for the crusher, good old tractors have got to become scarcer than hens teeth. So in the capitalistic economy that means the value of the scarce comodity goes up. No? So ya if you are like me and just a week end user, who's fixed a couple of old girls up to farm with part time, fuel is going to hurt and parts will become harder to get.
For the serious restorer I'll bet that more and more specialty foundaries and sheet metal works will begin to pop up to make new parts for the old machines. Look at what the Cubans have been doing with old American cars for the last 40 years. Buy a rubber windsheild gasket for an old truck from JC Whitney. where was it made? Brazil, Cuba, somewhere in south America. They have been fixin our cast offs for years. The crankshaft for the MF 35 perkins 152 I just rebuilt was cast and machined in India. It cost 2/3 the price of the same spec crank made in UK. After market dozer parts are being made over seas and are probably nearly as good as factory. In a global economy where components are made by subcontractors to spec, making a new part should be as easy as making an old part. Somebodies just got to decide there is enough demand for the thing and it can be made.
