newattitude with the amount of enthusiasm and effort you put into scrapping you would be a breath of fresh air, I would welcome your company anytime you wish to come for a visit.

The gods work in mysterious ways, the fellow came and cashed me out on the crane truck, I mentioned to him that I would like to keep the hydraulic winch when he said hold on there bro.

Sitting on the tail gate is a brand new 9 hp diesel engine, hydraulic winch and a fifth wheel, total cost - Nil. Plus I have use of the crane truck for another two weeks for which I have a couple of small jobs to do.

Now that I have the makings of a hydraulic pack, what I would like is a telescopic ram such as those used on grain trucks I hate under body hoists. I'll have to see what the scrap yard holds in store for me next week.
