That's pretty nice Iggy. I'm sure you'll keep it busy. Just add up all
the times you _WISHED_ you had one this size. See, not a problem ;-)

80,000 lbs!!? That's 20 SUV's ... let's see: if each was crushed to a
12" high block, that would be a 20' stack of crushed SUV's!

That thing must have some serious tires ... take good care of them,
their replacement would be big bucks.

Keep it up!

Did you buy it there in Chicago? It looks like the same unit shown in a
Dec. 2017 auction in Middleton, Massachusetts:

Then how do you get it 1000 miles to Chicago? Easy - you also buy the
'99 Peterbilt (with only 1,000,000 miles on it) and the 50 ton tri-axle
trailer. Which means that you can also bring back a few tons of
miscellaneous rigging gear.

Would be a good deal were it a '69 Peterbilt with 10,000,000 miles on it.

Sell via your favourite platform...

Both Fords..the ones indoors.. as I recall. The one out in the yard
was a Chebby.

He sold the car and all the parts for $2k to a guy who wanted to
restore it. I loaded both of the Fords into a mini storage, along
with all the car parts up on the tall racking..I think there was
enough stuff to build 3 more pickup cabs.

https://goo.gl/photos/ysGEp3miwn4YJNng9

Was that a scrap job?


I took 22 tons of "scrap"..mostly unused materials or materials that
had been used in field projects...to the recycler. Everything else
was either sold, or moved out to other sites for storage.

Quality On-site Machining.. Jim is a millwright..used to be a field
tech for General Electric..typically rebuilding boilers and turbines
all over the world. He was scheduled 395 days a year. When his kids
started walking..he wanted some parent time with them..GE refused to
give him time off a couple times a month..so he said **** You and
quit. He opened his own shop almost 24 yrs ago and did his work in So
Cal..everything from building titanium rolling mills to fixing 41,000
Ton (per square inch) forging presses. His knees were ****..his back
was going out..he turned 70...and we discussed it..and he
said..****it. He decided to sell the building (12,000 sqft), his
machinery.. and retire. He was looking to get $120k for the contents
and walk away. Several dealers screwed around with him...so I made
some phone calls..talked to some people and to date..we have sold
about half the stuff in the shop..for $140k. A machine tool dealer
offered to move the big stuff out to his storage area and store it..as
long as he was the one to sell it...for 15% So we emptied the
building..selling what we could...storing some of the big stuff when
we had interest but no buyers. Oh..he put the building up on the
market..thinking we would have months to clear it out..and it sold for
$2+ million within 2 weeks. And they gave us a month to empty it.
They had to give us a 9 day extension..had some issues with movers not
showing up.

So we sorted through everything..tossed out the above
materials..tossed a bunch of good stuff that we couldnt find buyers
for in thos 5 weeks..I snagged a bit of t his and that..he gave stuff
away to other shops..generally start ups..and we emptied the building.

Scrap was going from $192/ton-154/ton so we rented a good sized
forklift..had a big rolloff dumpster brought in (emptied 4 times) and
we hit it. Currently he is in Aridzona, looking at some homes on the
Colorado River, in the Lake Havasu area. His house has been paid for
for years, he owed a minimal amount on the building...so his plan is
to buy a place on the river, with a nice big hobby shop, move a bunch
of his hobby stuff (the cars, wood working equipment, mill, lathe,
welders etc) out there and then get his knees fixed.

I got paid for doing the job, not big money..but decent enough
money..he gave me that red pickup (new engine, new tranny, rebuilt
rear end)..which I was using to haul stuff to and from the storage
bins etc etc. Got misc stuff...scraping squares, plasma cutter, about
4000 lbs of this and that..2 motorcycles, a few hundred pounds of
books..metalworking/machinery related etc etc. I loaded up my flatbed
and towed it home with Moby Dick..my Great White Whale a couple weeks
ago..about 3000 lbs of stuff, and took my WellsCargo trailer down last
week and loaded up the remainder ( which Id moved and put into storage
2 weeks ago) ..anybody need a 5 gallon bucket full to the brim of
cable clamps? 36" pipe wrenchs? 3/4" sockets and drivers (6
sets..some China, most Proto? 1" shank sockets and drivers...mostly
Proto? Oh..I have a double door fridge filled with exotic welding
rods..lots of various SS electrodes, a hundred pounds of Nickle 99,
etc etc etc. Of course lots and lots of unopened and opened cans of
7018/8018/9018, 40 lbs of various TIG filler in unopened boxes..of all
sorts..etc etc.

With the truck and Stuff combined..I figure I scored about $5k in just
materials and tools..maybe $8k. Ive given a fair amount of stuff away
to some of my clients and of course, filled my rollaways (the red ones
in the photos) with tools and mics and 100 lbs of carbide milling
cutters (all new in packaging) etc etc. Much of which Ill be using in
my own home shop..(15) NMTB 40 taper holders for my mills..etc etc
etc. Oh..I filled a flatbed truck about 18" deep in pi tapes, and
mics up to 48". ID mics to 180"...the usual stuff..and sold it to
another start up. He made pretty good money on that deal....(Grin)

So yea...we scrapped a lot of stuff..but given what was there..just
some dead weight.

Gunner

What is going to fix him properly is to have both of his knees
replaced. He has the insurance to do it with no issues. Ive been
hounding him for years to go have it done. He decided it was past
time.

The braces simply kept him going until he turned 70.

for years, he owed a minimal amount on the building...so his plan is
to buy a place on the river, with a nice big hobby shop, move a bunch
of his hobby stuff (the cars, wood working equipment, mill, lathe,
welders etc) out there and then get his knees fixed.

Once he gets his shop up and running, maybe he can make some
replacement knee parts?

Ive already gotten him leg braces. They seem to help.

Its a start.

What is going to fix him properly is to have both of his knees
replaced. He has the insurance to do it with no issues. Ive been
hounding him for years to go have it done. He decided it was past
time.

Shoot, with all that equipment and experience, I'm still pretty
sure he could make himself a set of replacement knee joints.

Now, finding a surgeon who will install "home made" parts, that's
a different matter.

The braces simply kept him going until he turned 70.

Well, good. With age comes wisdom.

Even if it does seem that Age far too often travels alone. B-)
