BigMarv1085 fromGeor said: (quoted from post at 11:10:10 04/06/08) This past Friday I took a load of scrap metal to the scrap yard. While unloading there was a 190XT sitting there with the sheetmatal damaged, and a 7 foot new holland mower conditioner in mint condition. The guy run the crane said they were putting stuff like that to the side but they have gotten so much that they just have to start crushing it now. Nice half of a harrow with almost new disc sticking out of the pile. What a shame.
Yeah, same thing going on here .... very few items at our local yard go 'on the side' anymore. About 2 years ago there was a lot old, horse-drawn implements going through there but that's dried up now. It seems like the bigger stuff has been coming in for the past year ..... there was a nice looking HD-11 in there last week that would turn over but had been sitting for several years .... it's been cut up and shipped by now. A sidelight to all of this is that the auctions are running dry ..... the antique dealers are buying whatever 'yard ornaments' show up ..... it used to be you could buy an old dump rake or potato digger for 40 or fifty bucks but I've seen some rakes priced at $250-300 at the antique shops. There was a ROUGH '47 VAC with a jury-rigged belly blade on it priced at $2,000 last summer ..... it was gone in a month. The only way I can find stuff anymore is to get way back off the main roads and then I make sure that both me and the owner know the current scrap price ..... I offer them 110% of that and go from there 8)

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! 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
