Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I just got one for a Bolens tractor for under $1 on Ebay. It's 40 minutes from work, so I'll have more invested in the gas to fetch it, than the cost, but won't have to pay shipping. It's a good day

I haven't had any opertunity to scrounge in all the parts of this country, but NJ sure seems like it has a lot of folks with more money than common sense. It was over 25 years ago when my brother was getting married, and didn't have any money to spare, as he was only 20 and had bought a house and a car. He and I went out during the various local town and township "clean-up" days and basically furnished his entire house, except for the new bed he got as a wedding gift. The northwest corner of the state, specifically near Oldwick and Bedminster is were the Forbes's and Onassis and Rockafeller famiies like to live, and they tend throw out much better stuff than most of the rest of us own. My brother was a painter back then and painted the interior of a 1.3 MILLION dollar barn.... that's in 1970s dollars! They spent over $12,000 on the front door of this barn.... It's a wonderful place to trash hunt.

WOW    I wish stuff popped up like that around here. 

Here's a cool toy........

Or this would be pretty cool too..........

That Willy Jeep with the snowblower is in my neck of the woods (Easton, PA). Probably a GREAT unit for a big snow storm, but I'd almst hate to use something that rare for fear of breakage.
