    Went to the scrap yard last week and the yard guys were telling me that a guy came in towing an Army deuce & 1/2 (you military people know what i'm talking about). He got scrap iron price for it. The owner of the yard went and got a battery, cranked it up and drove it down the road to his other yard. Amazing what is thrown out!

    Those 2 1/2 and 5 tons were practically indestructible. I worked real hard at tearing up the transmission in a 5 ton but only managed to snap the bolts on the jackshaft.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
