Sure is a shame. I don't think the person putting this itemup for bid and starting it at $1,000 has a clue. I really do not think there is one item that would be salvageable on this unit from looking at those images. Pay a grand for that if you got it for that bid theyare asking, and then still have to get it out of there and haul it. I think theywould have been better off with a $.99 cent opener bid. I may be wrong about salvage parts, as I bought a Lands Pride finish mower that looked like the tractor does on Ebay and the blades on the bottom never had the paint burned of, and the insides of the gear boxes were unhurt. But the Kubota tractor it was attached to still had lots of orange paint o it and some rubber on the bottoms of what used to be tires, and this JD appears to have been in a much worse hotter fire than that Kubota went through.
