Replaced:
Primary heat exchanger (Carrier/Bryant doesn't sell a complete unit, just the individual exchanger cells and all the other parts, so it had to be built by hand first).
Secondary heat exchanger, which was the root cause of the failure, and was the 2nd time it's been replaced in this house (per old paperwork I found).
Draft inducer motor assembly.
All five burner tubes.
Almost every ancillary part (e.g., rollout sensor, pressure switch, igniter, etc.).
IIRC, we were able to reuse the flame sensor, LGPS switch, gas regulator, and the main blower fan/motor assembly. LOL.
On the bright side, with the exception of the blower motor, the entire 18+ year old HE furnace from this house we just bought 2.5 years ago is now 0 days old.
Extra points for anyone who points out and identifies something that doesn't belong in any furnace (it is in one of these pictures):
