Opening a 'can' of Deere

[nspec]

Could probably pick these up for a song. They were being shipped in a container onboard a ship. The ship was in a collision in the Houston Ship Channel on Halloween of this year.

I,m sure they,ll be going strait from the container to the crusher, to be recyled. They might even end up have different stickers and paint color when it is all said and done. LOL

Insurance company will sell them to wreckers !

A hammer, pry bar and a can of paint should fix that:laughing::laughing:

And a little bit of duct tape. :thumbsup: I do see some salvage-able parts in photo 2. Look at the pretty green lower arms for the 3 point hitch.

Trick or Treat!:shocked:

You forgot the duct tape. It's not officially repaired until the duct tape is applied:laughing:

I'd figure that for a cheap enough price, theres a whole lot of salvageable/re-sellable parts there. And we all know how costly green stuff can be! I try to avoid even buying lawnmower tractor parts from JD if I can help it. Just too dang costly.

After reviewing the pictures, it seems that the tires and rims probably absorbed much of the impact when the container was dropped. The frame also shows damage, but there should be a variety of other parts that are still salvageable and functional. As previously suggested, the insurance company will probably take bids. Hopefully no one was injured. :tractor:

Little bit of bondo and good to go!

 

[Craig Clayton]

I will bet that those tractors could be put back in mint condition as the rims (creekbend ) took the impact. A new sheet metal hood, because the engine is all there and out the door.

I will bet there is more damage than meets the eye. Like perhaps bent axles, cracked housings, etc.... They would clearly cost more to fix than they're worth.

someone was not having a good day

Just think you was a few days away from your new tractor arrival and your dealer calls, Mr. ( last name here ) sorry but your tractor was in a wreck and is on back order. Sorry but it will be another 6-8 weeks before delivery. Man that would suck!!!!

You mean 6-8 months. These are in high demand.

From previous experience I WOULD not pay too much better then scrap price for these. The crank tin the motors took a big hit and probably would not see 1000 hrs of run time before major problem,like green.....have green but these are just parts and not ever part unless one would find a guy in the buy for a good no hour motor....this is a good fit for craig list....salut

 

[bubbacuse77]

Most people would say that JD owners are just paying for the paint, but notice how the paint didn't even scratch.

Maybe we are paying for the paint, super paint:thumbsup:

Yeah, I could see somebody fixing up these things on the outside, but the inside is gonna be very suspect. Kind of like buying a "restored" car that survived Katrina in down town 'Nawlins.

When the final bill for this accident comes in, paying for those busted deeres will be but a drop in the bucket.. Or maybe pay for :30 of machine time on this crane.:thumbsup:
