At least it was saved from the other junk man a few years ago. I loaded some leftovers and took to town. They unloaded it a little different.
I have a lot more to go.

Those rotary mowers looked in better shape than the one i use. Next time if i were you i'd dissassemble that rotary hoe. People will pay big bucks for each of those blades to make artsy crap to paint and hang on the wall.

Was that second item off the truck an A-C rotary mower? I'd like to find one of them.

Stick to saving stuff. I know scrap yards are a evil we must live with, but the sight of them in action still makes me ill. I saw alot of stuff I would love to have on those piles in the backround. Saw a few items on your load I would have saved yet.

Gotta give it to the shear operator. Steady hands. Never saw him get into the bed on the truck at all, and hardly shook it. Scrap yards are a necessary evil. Just don't want to see any orange tractors in there. Green and red ones maybe, but no orange. LOL!

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

The thing hanging on was a hayrake. Some kind of Euorpen thing, 3pt with pto drive. It had the teeth mounted between two V belts , that ran crossways. It looked like it might have been about a 1/2 good idea at one time.

Ive ran a Cat 345 quite a bit and I can tell you that they are smooooth! Hey, there must be something wrong with me. I wanted about half of that load to keep! And yes, I sell rotary hoe wheels for 8 bucks a piece. They are moneymakers!

sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"
