a recent and still giving honeyhole

I'm curious as to what you showed in the photos...the first photo is some sort of crankshaft with a couple of big flywheels...off of a very old compressor? By the way, how did you lift the front of the trailer back up onto the ball hitch with with that lump of iron holding it down?

The second photo--another compressor? It almost looks like an old steam engine? Might have had a brass makers plate on it somewhere...

Keep the photos coming!

Jon.

That trailer in the first pic. looks like the trailer I used to own when I first started scrappin. Hauled alot of scrap in that trailer.

Steam engine? Water pump?
Big bronze bearings on the crankshaft/big end/bore liner...

Yes. I'm pretty sure it was some sort of older sandblaster. We also took in a metal thing that had a little sand like material left in it. I did go Saturday. I should have taken more pics. But I always feel rushed because I work most Saturdays. Which is lame. We made decent money. Had 3 loads. Here a couple of the first.


Had to drag it out from under the falling down wood shed.


Almost loaded.

I really should have taken more pics. Its quite interesting how we load this stuff. But we make it happen. No. We weren't allowed to use his work truck.
Next trip will definately take more pics. I will have to acquire a torch tho. But again. I'll make it happen. Its fun money. That's what has got me hooked!

We did have 46 pounds brass and 23 pounds dirty brass. And a pretty big motor. This last trip. Unfortunately those first couple times there. I wasn't as educated as I am now. Won't happen again.

Great haul!

Well made it to the honey hole again. I love it every time. Ima be sad when it drys up. Here are some more pics. I borrowed a torch this for this Saturday. Its goin to be real nice this weekend. These loads paid for the filling of the tanks and then some!


Gotta drag it out. Which is always fun.



Gotta load it up. Loaded some axles with it. Had to take the tires and rims off. Looked up the axles. Tried to find a buyer, You can see how that turned out.


Here is the last load of old carts and stuff. It was the best paying. He looked at this load hard. Thought he was gonna deduct. Thankfully he didn't. I think there starting to remember me. I guess. Again. This weekend should be awesome probably 6 or more loads similar to ones posted. Similar in weight. After of course I cut it down.

Sweet glory hole!

Oh yea. Gonna be prepared. We will use a leaf blower to blow what we can away. Aswell we will have a cut in half 55 gallon drum filled with water. And get something for underneath. Where the sparks and stuff fly.
