I took a couple of worn out washing machines to the scrap yard today- got $32 for the pair didn't think that was to bad. While I was there I saw a few things that made me wonder. 3 Claas 108 combines setting there waiting to be scrapped. I guess I'm behind the times to think they're to new to be broken for scrap. What puzzles me is how three of them came to be in the metal yard of our small city. I'm also wondering why they didn't get parked somewhere and robbed of parts for a few years before they went to the breakers. I always figured Claas parts would be expensive and hard to get so I assumed they'd be can birds for a few years before they got scrapped. They also had a big pile of scrap that was mostly farm equipment (one of the Claases was at the bottom of the pile) about 1/2 way up on one side there was a green and yellow small square baler sticking out, I assumed John Deere, but the more I looked at it the more something didn't seem right. Got to wondering why someone would paint a New Holland baler green & yellow? Packer thing maybe? Did John Deere ever make a small square baler with the flywheel on the front at the end of the PTO shaft like about everyone else did? It appears our small local scrap yard has been sold to a company with 4 or 5 of them yet we seem to be getting more for the scrap metal, better management? More price pressure?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
