Local friend, a widow, has several loads of junk which had been around since her husband died about 20 years ago. She decided to sell a couple months ago and the scrap man calculated the price from the price of scrap at the old scrap price. Since the scrap price dropped the buyer offered to sell the old John Deere diesel with a gasoline starting engine to a local lover of old John Deeres. The price to the collector was the same as the scrapper was going to pay her. The collector called the widow asking her to let the scrapper have it at a lower price due to the scrap price drop. The widow hung up the phone on him and told the scrapper to take it to the scrap yard and not let the collector have it at any price. I think it served him right. It seems to me that any salvagable tractor should be a bit more than scrap metal price.
