I meant the scrap in your shed, not the truck

Still, I don't see why or how running and repairable vintage chainsaws should be in the scrapyard if they have value and bring joy to someone and some are rare.

I kinda want to buy this truck.

Short bed and automatic.....pass, unless you are just using it to haul groceries

I was going to message the guy with the Chevy this morning but it was already sold. Now I found a white skidoo formula mx in my town for $150 that needs a carb clean. Might buy it. There also a guy local to me with a ATV like mine for $25 in very bad condition but it has some parts I need but he hasn't seen my message from this morning yet sadly.

Picked up a vintage echo backpack blower this morning for $20, going in my personal collection, needs throttle cable and fuel system work and I don't think the blower tube is original.
Looked at a pug UTV for sale and noticed a old push mower sitting under the guys pine tree, he said I could have it, shockingly it runs amazing.

Picked up a craftsman lawn tractor with a b and s oppy that I'll troubleshoot tomorrow for $25 from a relative of a friend.

gotta give the kid credit, he hustles OPE pretty good.

Got my cub cadet 072r push mower running with a nos carburetor today. Throttle cable don't work but it does run good. Got my wood chipper running but it needs a governor spring to hold some tension on the throttle plate because the spring is missing and without it she runs at super high rpm. Worked on a ton of other projects today too.

About time you got off your a** and did something

If you spent half as much time chasing split tail as you do swapping junk you would have a woman by now

The bed cover's days have been nearing their end a long time now, and today my truck bed saw daylight for the first time in many years. Got the diamond plate tool box for $50 off Craigslist. Looks much better.

Tried a new type of cream pie today, not gonna buy them again, the oatmeal and the PB ones are better, these ain't bad tho.
I also installed some parts from marketplace on my ATV, coming along slowly but surely.

Broke?

Broke?

No, I made a big chunk of meat on it loose while working on a mower, the brace is to keep it straight to heal back together faster
