I thought this question was a natural to ask after seeing the other thread about what the "most common" things you find when scrapping!
My boys and I are avid scrappers. We've picked up a few interesting items in our travels:
-A whole 5 gallon pail of chrome plated solid brass beer keg taps. Probably 100+ lbs worth..
-Complete snowblower. My boys were young and wanted to rebuild it. So we did. Turned out a co-worker in the place I worked at had tossed it!
-Lots of old chainsaws. We found a well-used heavy duty loggers saw- a big Husqvarna- and had enough parts laying around to get it going. That was at least 10 years ago and my younger boy still uses it.
-Near new self-propelled lawnmower. We spotted it outside a dumpster in an RV park. 5 minutes of work on the carb float valve got it going.
I know this is kind of ho-hum stuff for some of you...lets hear what you have found!
Jon.
