Howdy folks, I was listening to a radio classified program done locally the other day and one of the fellas on there had an ad that kinda spooked me. He was wanting to purchase junk cars from folks (obviously for scrap) but he also mentioned old farm machinery. This scared me. I've heard a little bit that steel is high right now but don't really follow that much. I'm no big collector as far as old tractors but there are a few out there that I'd like to acquire (IHC titan: my great grandad had one, JD GP on steel, for example) and I know that these kind are probably not going to be in a classified ad. They're the kind you have to run on in an old fencerow or barn or something like that. If scrap prices start pullin people to get rid of these things then we are going to see it get a lot harder to find them. I worry about that. I don't know about you all but if it gets to the point where the only place you can find an old tractor is from someone who's already restored it, then this hobby will lose all it's fun. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
