For the past couple days, I've been cleaning the metal stuff from a house that I'd posted about in another thread. This was the latest load. First load was just a pickup load. This was a little bigger:

People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

I like the Ford van/truck. I would like to have owned one but just never got around to it. Mike.

Right on! . I am in the process of clearing out 2 abandoned houses here in my town, that are going to be demolished. I love finding crazy stuff in the attics, too.

You might want to check out about that little VW in your 2nd photo. May be worth it for restore or as is.

Scrapper - what VW? If you're talking about that green truck, it's labeled "Jungle Wagon". I think that's what miked is calling a "Ford van/truck" too. In that condition, they're not getting bids. New condition or restored; they're getting $8 - 12. Not worth it.
What kind of bike and tractor?
I love getting this kind of stuff, probably because i was paying for it not long ago!

I love that little truck, it's like an econoline 100 van with the top cut off. I think thiere fro the late 60's or early 70's. I would keep it just because it's cool.

Bike is (was?) a Yamaha 650. Tractor is a Sears Craftsman from the 60s with a 2-speed axle. Both are heavy enough that I left them till next week when I can get to them with my tractor and pallet forks. happy - I'm planning to clean it up and keep it as a conversation piece.
That craftsman sounds cools, any chance of pics?
I hope you are not planning on scraping it

Nice find. Can't wait to get in to it that big lol. Where'd the lady see about your scrap removal?

Pictures next week when I get them home. This guy is the son-in-law of the deceased couple whose stuff it is. He and his wife had lived there for several years after they'd died. He's been calling me several times over the past 3-4 years for other stuff he'd wanted hauled off. So when he and his wife got the house sold and got a house in Florida, he just naturally called me for this job. Like my wife and I were talking; I'm not getting as many calls but when I do, they're big ones.

What part of Texas are you located if you don't mind me asking?

I think the old Yamaha 650 was like an overgrown Honda 450 (heavy twin cylinder type) but still should have classic/vintage capabilities, even for parts

Pictures of tractor and bike. Bike is in the pickup under the air compressor. Sold the tractor for $10 to the guy who went with me to help load.

Cool lil tractor, did you load it with a bigger tractor? Are you going to part out the motorcycle? That front forks and wheel might be at a premium for another one that's been wrecked
