Or how about getting hauled? Had to take it to the driveline shop to get a 2 piece driveline built. Mppp0p

The guy we got it from had literally tons of old stuff laying around. Apparently his brother would go to auctions and buy stuff and drag it back. Unfortunately he left most of it out in the weather to rust. The lathe is junk as the ways are rusted beyond repair. We bought it for whatever parts that didn't get exposed to the weather directly and also gambling that the Omniturn controller will come back to life after drying out and cleaning up.
There was a whole cabinet shop in the same condition. Big table saws, shapers, 14" radial arm saw, pneumatic door assembly jigs, and more..
Probably 50 outboard motors, and too much to list just scattered around a 75x100 poll barn. But under the cover of roof in the barn were some large farm equipment and about 100 bicycles in a pile at least 7 foot high. I'm sure those bicycles are worth more than the machinery that has turned to junk in the rain.
All kinds of junk, but no truck parts to be had.

Hauled racing pigeons from Bellingham Washington to Mt Shasta California. We did this on weekends. Did this for 4 months a year for 6 years. This pic is about 15 years old. 1970 Chev 1 ton dually, 350 4 speed, 8-9 miles per gallon, premium gas. Sold this truck to a masonry and it's still using it today.

Got a fellow that lived about 3 miles from me, he would go to government auctions and buy truck loads of lathes, tooling and bins full of parts. The guy spent a fortune on junk!
The county got on him about all the junk in his field so he built 2 metal buildings which housed maybe 25% of what he had.....then he died.

Next chapter, his wife (and the county) wanted to get rid of all of it, but didn't want anybody rummaging around on her property

My cousin who knew them both, deals in discontinued and old forklift parts, he did go out there and said what was not rusted beyond saving the rats had destroyed.

Next chapter, about 4 or 5 months ago the wife died. Have no idea what will happen with the offspring. I'd get bids from scrappers to haul it all off.

I like the color of that set up. Red, White, and Blue.

It is just stuff, but the waste really bothers me. The problem is that every person that hoards stuff until everything just turns into garbage will just shake their head and say, "that guy has a problem, I know what I've got".

The kids/family will just end up paying someone to get rid of the garbage and sell the property at wholesale prices (hoarding, disrepair, and deferred maintenance go hand in hand). Such is the way. My family did it for my grandfather, and I'll have to do it too when the time comes.

What better way to tow a vintage mustang than with a vintage K/5

[VWNate1]

I hear you about the amazing things hoarded and ruined .

I guess I'm a bit guilty there, I have no indoor storage, luckily I'm in the Desert .

Some times one does want to sell things off but no one wants to pay more than scrap value .

I'm sure when I die that my son will just call 'got junk?' and have them scrape my property to scorched earth, he has zero interest in any of it and the house is bad & worthless anyway .

Still and all it seems a shame .
