Default trolling for ideas and a little tool gloat

I'm looking for ways to put my junk to use
for very little or no other money. I have:
-3 Peugeot turbo-diesels w/AT;
-2 360 mopars with AT;
-2 Postal jeeps 1 258-AT 1 w/o drivetrain;
-1 dodge 4x4 3/4T PU 400 AT, bad tranny (can't afford to get it rebuilt they
want 850;
-2 69 Datsun 1300 PUs 4spds
- a couple of old trailers- one utility w/o deck 6x10 - one old boat trailer
which is basically just a pair of channel iron rails with and old axle ( I
think maybe an old PU steering axle)

I need a tractor, crawler, or loader, etc., would like any info on home
built machines and implements. I do have some rudimentary welding skills,
have rebuilt engines, manual trannies, I have a buzzbox compressor, OA torch
some minimal shop space and no money (I got hurt OTJ and got screwed by the
company), limited physical abilities.

Anyone got any no-buck or low-buck ideas?

Now for my minor gloat. The other day I ran across a guy who gave a very
little used 42" snowblade, wheel weights and chains that will fit my yard
tractor perfectly. He also gave me an Alaskan Chainsaw mill which is better
than the one I didn't have, and might come in handy up here in the mountains
some time.

Have a good one ( a beer, day, evening, life, etc.),
tHAT
