No bet!
That would involve comparing mine with Yours, not doing that.
Gotta keep my self-confidence high!

Everything put the gas pump came from the scrapyard. The scale guy saved me the nylint truck. The trac vac impeller is seized on the shaft. I pulled a two jaw through the back already. I’ve been air hammering it with tension on the puller but no luck. The gas pump shows $.679 per gallon. It works and is a simple two wire hook up.

What type of idiot does it take to scrap that stuff......

 

[Bill G]

He lives very rural,, a psychoanalysis?? Pretty sure he works online.. Fabolous yard and garden,, Everything at his place was neat and tidy and clean.
He just went to electric saw for his needs... He gave the wife some plant cuttings...nice of him.
Nice guy,, just had the saw run thru the dealer MDG? and give him the ok on the saw 61 hours.
I think he is far enuff away from the city he priced it accordingly. An hour and a bit to get to his place,,, we went to the waterfalls just past his place to make a day of it. Used ones are usually $450 here,, if you can find one used,,,

Can you get new heated handle models up there?

 

[Bill G]

Bought these for my son....................

No, not chicken at all!
We Europeans have big enough di©ks so we don't have to show off with material s#it - simple fact.

But just so You don't feel butthurt , mine is 130cm, though so far I never needed more that 90.

Haven't bought a chainsaw in ages. This popped up for sale locally, nine miles from home. And I love me a 254 (I have four others - one runner and three projects). So I went and got it today. It's not pretty but it's honest. Starts, runs, revs, oils and stops as it should. Good compression. Handle is loose, dog missing and there are a couple of broken bits. But I'm happy with it. £125 / $163.

There was a dodge sweptline wrecker the other day. I tried to intercept it before the grapple got it but like so many times before you get 100’ away and it’s gone. Bicycles, tool chests, nice old cars. It doesn’t matter just in the pile. The dodge had a Great Wall hanger grill on it. I got three Schwinn stingray’s out of yards over the years. The Fuji below just needed wheels and cables.

Kentuckians are too cheapskate to scrap anything that still has life in it, or would at least make a good yard ornament!

The other day I saw a video about this site/app called Offerup.com, so I decided to take a look at it....something doesn't seem right here:

- Stihl 500i Chainsaw $515 Ships for $14.49 Posted 6 days ago in Pierre, SD

- Sithl Ms500i Chainsaw $500 Ships for $14.49 Last updated 1 day ago in Tonopah, NV

For that price, I would have to assume they are stolen or broken!!

As we all know there are lots of scam sites out there. I am betting that is one of them..

For those that not like Bill G stories stop reading now......

Back in late summer 2023 one of my sons texted me a link to a site he found on FB. The site claimed to be Home Depot selling some off-brand 6.5 HP rear tine garden tillers for a bit over $200. He wanted to know if I thought it was legit. I took a look and it said "what the hell give it a try but use a credit card!!". The site allowed store pickup or "free home delivery". Now neither he nor I live in an area where ole UPS will be delivering a tiller. He bought one and selected store pickup. I thought what the hell I will order one for free shipping and see what happens. I really thought about ordering two but if it went the way I thought it might go I did not want that big of fight with my CC company. We both placed our orders. About a week or 10 days later he got notification his tiller was ready for pickup at the Home Depot store and he drove upriver and picked it up. I waited awhile and called on mine that was supposed to be delivered. All I got was excuses. Every time I called the representative said to just wait as they were waiting for the warehouse to supply more. They told me I had to wait and refused to refund my payment. It was obvious they had over-sold their supply. I kept after them. After probably 8 weeks I finally got a representative that admitted the company screwed up. She still said they could not refund my money but asked if I wanted a different model. I said yes, She sent me a link to a front tine tiller and I said HELL NO! She put me on hold a while and came back and said how about this one, She sent me another link. I opened it and said HELL YEAH. It was a Troy-Bilt Bronco rear tine. The current price was $1070 with the communist tax. I said ship it out. For whatever reason she also refunded my credit card $20 and my total final charge was $180. About a week later I got a call from a trucking company wanting to know if I would be home the next day. I said yes but what type of truck were they bringing. The dispatcher said a 53ft van trailer, I told her to have the driver call me when he was about 30 minutes out and I would meet him up the road to get him as there was no way he was coming down here with a 53ft. He called me and I went out and met him...........

This is what I got for $180......

I bought some again for $30 At the bottom there is a tube of grease straight from the USA I found a piece of copper for the soldering iron, it needs to be turned to 14mm

I think it auto fills that sometimes. I used letgo and it would say shipping available. Offer up is okay if it’s local and you can have a normal conversation with the seller on there.
