It is really tough to part with the stuff left after someone who was loved, and now missed, is gone. Most of us hang on to stuff we dont need because it belonged to someone special. I have the work apron my father used in the print shop. I dont need it, but I have it. Those clothes will probably be there when your mother dies, and they will probably do no harm in the meanwhile. In a way, it is sad the zoning folks force people to part with their junk, but they are under pressure from neighbors who want a picture perfect view, even the view they dont own. I have a big fence that hides all my projects from view.
As for rusting tractors, there is an M nearby that has been sitting outside for years, the engine is stuck, badly rusted, and I stopped last year to inquire, and the price was $1000. I can buy a nice one for 1500 to 2000, and I could never fix this one to be nice for the difference in price. I did buy a rusty H with a stuck engine for $300, and traded it for another tractor, and some kid ended up with the H, and has gotten it running and took it to the woodstock fair last fall. Glad a kid had the ambition to fix it, glad it was cheap enough for him to be able to buy it. Glad it did not go to the scrap yard.
