[Farmall] when is "too far gone"?

[Mike Sloane]

Based on my own experience, I would suggest the time to make that 
determination is when the tractor is worth more in parts than as a whole 
machine. When wheel weights are going for $100 each, radiators $300+, a 
good head maybe $200, a drawbar $50, and so on, it doesn't take long for 
the parts value to add up quickly. A good front axle on a 340U is 
probably worth over $200, and a decent power steering unit for the same 
machine at least that much.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who
want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm but the harm
does not interest them. -T.S. Eliot, poet (1888-1965)
