I drag them home left and right, like catching fish for $120 to $140 all day from scrap yards. I would pay a tad more to save a cub cadet like that, J-Mech.

This guy is some sort of nut/job to take a hoe bucket to a poor, helpless cubbie.

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing. I just took a 147 frame with trans and an entire 2146 in for scrap and only got about $53.xx. For the scrap price you're getting, John, I should have took it to your area!

That is a great idea! They are sure to call if you do that.

That is a great idea 64fleetside! Yes I think it has a lot to do with pollution laws. They'd love nothing more than to get all old cars , trucks , equipment and such off the street/planet. Another way of (control) over us.

Exactly!!!

Let me know when he puts his house up for sale, because if it doesn't sell fast enough then maybe he will want to unload it before he crushes it. With waste like that, perhaps he works for the government....(Did I just say that?)
