[AT] Parting out tractors - what are your thoughts?

[Jim and Lyn Evans]

If he sells all the MM parts he has listed for the minimum bid (or what is
currently bid), I total up $1768.  I am sure he will sell everything listed
and probably for much more than the minimum bid.   How much would you pay
for that tractor complete at an auction?  

We should keep track of the total that he gets out of all those parts.   It
might make us part out some of our own tractors.

Subject: [AT] Parting out tractors - what are your thoughts?

I thought this might make a good discussion.  I totally understand parting
out busted up and broken-down hulks.  I've gotten parts this way myself.
But what about parting out restorable tractors, or worse yet - running and
drivable tractors?  This link is what got me thinking about the subject:
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=joe-levad
&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50  It appears this seller is parting out
what used to be a very nice-looking, parade-ready tractor.  Not a perfect
tractor, but definitely not a hulk.  I don't want to villafy the man - he
has every right to do what he wants to his tractor - and I hate to single
him out, but it's just an example.

Somehow, it just doesn't seem right, though.  Anybody else share that view,
or anybody disagree?
