When I was about 12 or 13 years old, I would ride my bicycle to either of the local junk yards and bring back push lawn mowers, chainsaws or any type small engine. I had a special --"made by my dad"--trailer that I pulled with bicycle. With my dads help, I would get some of them running and sold them for a few dollars. Back then, I could buy for $2 or $3 and sell for $10 or $15.
I learned about engines, dealing with people, and made enough money to buy my first car.
Today, I don't get to the Junk Yards as often as I would like, but last month I bought a few old chainsaws, and found an SDS masonry drill bit, a little rusty but never used, and is about 16" long. Thing is, I really needed this for a job I had been putting off! In the same pile, I found a practically new 2" receiver ball mount with new 2 5/16 ball!
I don't see a lot of farm related items but did find a decent backhoe bucket that I modified for my needs.
Every time I go, it brings back many good memories!
