Tractors Torn Down

In nearly every instance of a tractor theft, the purpose is for removal of component parts, which are then
sold.  The engine will bring thieves a nice sum of money, and also the transmission and its parts.  A bare cab
from a stolen tractor will bring little more than scrap price – but they will take what they can get.

Stolen parts wind up installed in seemingly legitimate trucks.  Many purchasers have no idea that indeed they
are buying hot material.  The attitude in the industry is to keep the wheels rolling all the time.  When a truck
breaks down because of a blown engine or transmission, purchasers are looking for the best price at the
quickest time period available.
