For W&G. The mower pile.
This is a bad view and only part of it.
No good ones for me to drag home today. |

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I have explored quite of bit of this yard. He has some old stuff in the back. Only Chevettes though. Never seen a Corvette in here.
There was a Trail 70 sitting there, but it was extremely rough. I just couldn't see myself doing anything with it either. I have pulled at least a dozen motorcycles, 5-6 garden tractors, tillers, and some other things from this pile. |

How does it work? Do you pay scrap metal prices for this stuff? I'd be all over a Trail 70, rough or not. I think it would be a blast with a China 125. I want the bus.

Agreed!
Lord forgive me but I'm scanning CL for an old Honda horizontal with a blown engine really cheap to Lifanize. :P

I usually give about scrap value for whatever I haul out. I am sure I could get the trail 70 for about $30. Only problem is that is was missing so much and what it had was damaged. If it is still there on Tuesday when I go back I may pick it up.
Sometimes it is better to spend alittle more for a project to start with. I have learned that lesson a few times over. |

Oh, you don't dig too deep. You never know what might be living in there.
I was getting some parts out of suburban and I saw something slither under the seat. Those parts stayed. |
