I guess that is where the thinking maybe needs to change. Most farmers I know really are not in the market for a 1960's self unloading wagon so they are not going to bid for something they do not want. The guy that might have a use or to just collect one usually does not have the spare cash for such a purchase. If you don't care where your equipment ends up once you are gone then I am not going to reach you. But if you are all gaga as to how good a piece of equipment your 1960's self unloading wagon is and would hate to see it scrapped then maybe we have something to talk about. Also, reread some of my response. Yes, the scrap man bought most of the equipment but he paid more than 4 cents per pound for it. He factored in the value of tires, wheels, jack stand, structural steel that he could quickly turn into cash at a higher value than dumping it into the wholesale scrap bin. But be sure that anything else on that mower-conditioner, forage wagon, whatever got cut into short steel. All I am saying that if it matters to you that your stuff not be cut up for scrap and has legitimate value and use then maybe do some planning now as to what will happen to it. Is it really a win as some would suggest that the lawyer collect on your lifetime of work when your stuff is sold. I know that it all can't be saved but I know I see stuff that is good enough to use or collect just go to be torn down in the end.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
