Dont worry Brad, you're apt to see it again if you live long enough. Except next time you see them they may be in the form of ammunition being slung at us. I too hate to see it go to chiner but I'm guilty of sending some myself. Got to make a living first.

Stuck between a "rock and hard place". BradVB offered the machines up here, what is a man to do? We ALL know there is no easy answer. I would have loved to be able to "afford" to restore/keep machines, not going to happen,period. I'm a firm believer in the "Donor" plan, some are past point of restore [ left to rot by prev. owners], most are physically to far for interested parties to P/U. Recycle world we live in, isn't it great?

Those who think we should save EVERY THING ,should start a SAVE it all YARD and buy it all that is going to CHINA ,would not take long for them to start thinking that once the good parts are off the rest is JUST JUNK. Thanks for Sharing

If a guy were to save everything,he'd run out of room pretty fast. There has to be donors out there,whether folks like it or not. There's a lot of larger parts on these old tractors that just don't wear out or go bad and it's hard to hang onto something like this when you don't have the room. I keep parts that I need off the tractors that I buy and then sell everything else that will move. The rest is scrap as far as I'm concerned. I've tried to almost give some things away on here before and had no takers,but had to listen at how I shouldn't be scrapping the non moving parts. Some folks don't think before spouting off,I guess.

The guys are right it will pileup if you keep it all.
I get lots of junk men coming around here now, If I saved all of the leftover parts the state will make me get a licence to run a junkyard here.
Just remember some will give there lives so the rest can live! lol
