Well glad i took the trailer today, guy said he had a garden tiller, well he kept gathering had a nice load when finished, metal roofing,gutters,empty metal buckets,empty iron barrel,A couple of electric motors, and a big ole cub cadet tiller, and some conduit and wire. Not bad, should have enough stuff to try to make a yard run tomorrow.
cool! what's wrong with the tiller?
I found out, whatever runs the actual tiller blades was no longer working.Quote:

my yard its either aluminum or not, but someone did suggest i ask if they might take them like transmissions, I was going to ask the manager about it today,but it got real busy in a hurry so didnt get to talk to him.Quote:

LOL @ Thrify Nickle, Nearest place there distributed is the previously mentioned 80 to 90 miles away.I do have a couple leads for the nearest town, couple guys work on small engines and mowers,one of my friends said they give a better price for mowers to use for parts, next time i'm in town i'll talk to them and find out.Quote:
