JoeM 8,496 #1 Posted Monday at 11:45 AM After years of collecting and saving tractor stuff, it was time for another junk run. I have sent of a couple loads in the past but now it is time to finish up. I had 2200 on this load and need to at least haul one more. Scrap here was $6 a hundred. Hard to get rid of WH stuff but after scouting around at this years show, the prices seemed to be rock bottom. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They ain't making decks, etc. anymore and perhaps another collector would like to have them... if they sit there a week or three with no takers, then make the scrap run... 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is already being done. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 28,847 #6 Posted Monday at 02:29 PM Agree, but free section perhaps would encourage more... Just a thought. Sorry @JoeM, didn't mean to hijack your post... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrap here was $6 a hundred. @JoeM if your not part of the solution, your part of "my " problem. Guys like you take it to the scrap yard for $6 a hundred. Then I take my little 300 lb pile right before lunch and get $18. My scrapyard lets us walk the pile over lunch and pay 1-1/2 to 2 x what their buying it for. So now I'm digging into my tractor funds for all the neat stuff I find off the pile. My wife even knows I'm coming home with more that I took. It's a no-win game! 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I am at the show there is a spot, just across from me, by a trash can that persons have set Items they did not sell and don't want. All of it seems to go. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, only got $103 for it. 8 batteries alone would previously get 50-75 bucks... The days of $200-$300 for a trailer load are gone, but it beats paying someone to dump it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 2,308 #11 Posted 12 hours ago Might have to do this myself soon. I've got more parts than I'll probably ever need. A lot of it is the stuff that never breaks. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
