    There is a vehicle scrapper in the area that uses old buses to haul scrap in. He pulls the stuff he wants (Mostly engine/trans), loads the rolling chassis with shred, and tows them to the yard. At the yard, he sometimes pulls the tires and sells them to farmers for their beet trucks.
    I can still remember way back I spent a couple of years down in South East Kansas. At one time the only job I could find was working with a custom baling crew. The owner would buy school buses, strip the body, hang a small hydraulic elevator on the front, Pull all the seats but the driver's and it was ready to stack hay bales on. Drop the elevator and pick up the bales automatically, all the guys had to do was keep up stacking. Straight from the field to the barn. Reverse the elevator and shoot the bales right into the hay loft.
