squonk 41,121 #26 Posted July 8, 2023 At another local yard they had a OPE section. There was a 520 there with 4 tires and the axles. But the frt axle was the forward swept one and it had a Eaton with clean fluid. Had to pay $50 for it but I made that back with just the rear wheels. Related story. co -worker went to the same yard and told me about a nice plastic JD hood. I went and got it and paid like $5 for it. It was for a 300 series. Shined it up and put it on CL for something like $250. Lady calls me at work and wants to come NOW as she just ran her tractor into the fence and smashed the hood on her HUSBANDS TRACTOR and he isn't going to be happy when he gets home from work! I tell her I will be home at 3:30. She was waiting in my driveway. Spilt the cash with my co-worker 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSraj 430 #27 Posted July 8, 2023 Gotta love recycling other people’s ’junk’! Years ago I was scraping out after a powder room remodel and the owner asks me if the dump would take tires. I say, yes but they charge per tire. She says they are in the back of the garage. Let me know what they charge and I’ll pay you. When I go to get the tires they are on El Italia mag wheels and the tires still have the little nubs on them. Almost new! They came off of an Audi TT that they traded and had been sitting in the garage for a couple years. After practically pleaded with her to advertise them, and her not wanting to be bothered, I took them and advertised them on CL myself. Gone in less than 24 hrs for $500. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna guess you didn’t charge for the disposal. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSraj 430 #29 Posted July 8, 2023 Nope. There were 2 lawnmowers(walk behind self propelled) they wanted gone also. I got both running with minimal effort.. Gave one to my brother and used the Toro for a couple years then sold it for $50. Some people just have many more dollars than sense. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
