    I think you need to just get a roll off and pack it up seems you got a nice pile for only a few weeks of work. Alot of the stuff in the pics can be broken down alot more if you want to maximize your profit.

    I love it down there. My father was raised in Fredricktown and we go to the old farm quite often. I also go to Montauk State Park every year and fish for the trout down there.

    way to go country boy....my yard looks a lot like that....only mine is a mountain of plastic....abs from computers mostly. Got to start chipping that stuff before the neighbors can see it over the roof of my house !! I love breaking motors down....I felt a little jealous when I saw your collection. Have fun.

    Those old outboards could be worth a bit of money if they are not seized. And even if they are seized people will still pay good money for them as nautical decorations.

    Also the propellers off of them can sometimes be sold to boat shops as they are quite expensive when new and finding a replacement prop for a very old outboard is "dang" near impossible sometimes.

    ( really? the word used to describe a large wall holding back a body of water is censored here)????
