Both places let you come in and look around for what ever you want and if you see a part or some thing you can use, they will sell it to you @ 10 cents a pound. brass and aluminum cost 15 cents a pound If they get an old tractor thats not cut up,they will keep it whole for a few weeks in case someone wants it.

You never know whats going to be there the day you go.
