Good Score 9-10-13

Well glad i took the trailer today, guy said he had a garden tiller, well he kept gathering had a nice load when finished, metal roofing,gutters,empty metal buckets,empty iron barrel,A couple of electric motors, and a big ole cub cadet tiller, and some conduit and wire. Not bad, should have enough stuff to try to make a yard run tomorrow.

cool! what's wrong with the tiller?

Is it belt drive, direct drive, or chain? Might do well to put it on CL for parts/repair

Not sure about the drive, i suspect chain or direct as i see no visible belt, its heading to the yard tomorrow, Craigslist doesnt help me any, nearest listings are for 80, 90 miles away.I was planning on going today,but i didnt have quite a trailer full, hit a junkpile,and my dad found some more stuff around his place, so sacking cans bright and early and heading out.

I would pull the motor off and sell it as dirty aluminum.

my yard its either aluminum or not, but someone did suggest i ask if they might take them like transmissions, I was going to ask the manager about it today,but it got real busy in a hurry so didnt get to talk to him.

Hek, if that's the case I'd check the local area Thrifty Nickels and such, the little free classified things usually have free ads up to a certain price. There's also a garden tractor forum that has ads

LOL @ Thrify Nickle, Nearest place there distributed is the previously mentioned 80 to 90 miles away.I do have a couple leads for the nearest town, couple guys work on small engines and mowers,one of my friends said they give a better price for mowers to use for parts, next time i'm in town i'll talk to them and find out.
