JoeM 7,874 #5 Posted October 10, 2021 It's sad to see them go! I look at that pic and don't see a refurb but I am seeing some sort of repurpose thing......like a shop cart/dolly for a tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

threepiece 6 #10 Posted October 17, 2021 I visit a local scrap yard at least once a week. Most of you fellows would be shocked at the quantity and quality of hand tools, power tools, machine tools and tooling, building materials, antiques, and whatnots I have purchased over the last 20 years. Just yesterday I bought eight lightly used 1/2” and 3/4” carbide end mills, six bars of 1” round cold rolled steel 1 to 2 feet long and a small bag full of bolts and miscellaneous. Two months ago I found a disassembled WH tractor. I don’t remember the model but it had an 8 speed transmission which I bought. I’m now kicking myself for not getting the two mower decks.

kpinnc 12,047 #11 Posted October 18, 2021 I once saw a 314-8 speed at the scrap yard. Try as I might, they would not let me take anything already taken as scrap. They had a sales area, but they wouldn't even consider it. The guy kept saying he put a screwdriver into the plug hole on it and it didn't move when he turned the flywheel, so I wouldn't really want it anyway. I didn't have the heart to tell him that the plug was over the valves, not the piston. Tractor was in better shape than half the ones I've brought home. Closest I ever came to stealing something from the scrapyard. Oh well, I'd probably got caught anyway. I love these tractors, but not that much! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,714 #12 Posted October 18, 2021 Yeah, I would have slipped the guys at the junkyard some bills. At my local dump... as long as the guy who runs it gets a wad... he'll let you do anything... If he still wouldn't let me get it out... I would be... quite ugly...

Around here once it hits the ground at a yard it's all over but the crying. @Achto saw it happen once to two beauties. Went back with some bills and beer but already off to the shredder. Whats worse is the dude who scrapped them knew Dan was a collector. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,574 #14 Posted October 18, 2021 True story . I still give the guy crap every time I see him. Thanks bringing that up Jim, now I'll be sulking on that all day again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 25,557 #17 Posted October 18, 2021 Never will understand that routine at scrap yards… $10 scrap value $50 offer to buy Go with $10 and all the work / wear and tear on equipment to shred??? Makes no sense… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
