With the price of iron being so high there have been a lot of good tractors and implements being sent to the crusher.
What have you seen that has been hauled in?
What have you saved?
I have been trying my very best to save as many old tractors and implements that I can from the scrappers.
Here is a list of what I have saved that would have been scrapped otherwise.
A 1923 McCormick Deering 15-30.
Two 1951 John Deere B tractors.
A 1956 John Deere Model 40 Four-Row Front-Mount Cultivator.
A 1954 John Deere Model 290 Two-Row Corn Planter.
Four John Deere ABG 200 Cultivators.
A 1947 Farmall H.
A 1955 Caterpillar 12 8T Road Grader.
Two John Deere 730 Listers.
A John Deere 638 Lister.
A John Deere Go-Dig.
Two John Deere 594 Side Delivery Rakes.
An International Harvester 2 Bottom plow on steel.
Two John Deere #5 Sickle Bar Mowers
A John Deere #8 Sickle Bar Mower
All of this has been purchased within the last year and all from people that were just going to haul it in.
One good thing is that one of the scrappers lets me know when he gets old John Deere stuff and from there I can purchase it directly from him at scrap price.
I think its just sick what people have been throwing away as junk. This is all part of our Agricultural Past and should be saved.
Thanks for reading!
