JayTheCPA, The most expensive thing that I've yet seen come out of a county landfill was a pair of golden oak china cabinets that my cousin, Robert Sterling, "scrounged" at the Franklin County dump on one afternoon in 2009. Less than a week later, he turned down 1200.oo cash for the pair from a...

jrsavoie, SORRY. It's MY deep/dark secret. (Most of the structure of the 2nd floor of my little farmhouse is scavenged from the county "sanitary landfill".) I also "scrounged" my wood stove there about 5 years ago, that was made circa 1900. (That one, I gave money for, as I "tipped" the...

JayTheCPA, I'm NOT allowed to go to the county dump anymore by SWMBO. = I tend to come home with more than I took out there. (Like 18 whole sheets of MDO & on another trip, 96 2x4s.) CHUCKLE, satx

WarWagon, Evidently SO. - IF I had not found these NICE people, who have a waste disposal license/permit, I would have had to find a safe place to store 40 gallons of flammable liquid.

To All, Just before dark 10MAR16, when a local auto-parts store closed at 1800, I was told that they WILL accept my "antique diesel" for recycling. - They evidently have a "disposal permit" for hazardous materials & have the ability to properly dispose of it. (I guess that "the bottom line" is...

WarWagon, THANK YOU, Yoda Tiki-Torch fuel. = RotflmRao. yours, satx

jrsavoie, The "delivery guy" brought the PU to me on a trailer this PM (and in the middle of a major rainstorm, btw) & YEP both tanks are nearly full of ANTIQUE diesel. (The lady that I bought it from never drove it again after filling it up, for some reason or other, so there is about 40...

Will L, I resemble that remark. = RotflmRao. yours, satx

WarWagon, There was evidently at total of about 500 of the diesel Continentals made in 1984 and another 300 built in 1985 & less than HALF of the 800 were "designer" models badged as Versace & Bill Blass. yours, satx

NVW, Struck a chord, did I?? (My next BD, if I make it is "el numero 70".) yours, satx

WarWagon, Surely wish I could find one in restorable shape. = That's a TRULY rare Continental, for sure. - Very few were sold (too expensive for what they were.) & there's a darn sight fewer of them left now. (I "chased a rumor of one in a barn" all over NW OK a couple of years ago, W/O...

cthom84, First: WELCOME HOME Brother-in-Arms. = As the Good Book says, "You did well, good & faithful servant." Glad that you're here. (I'm new here, too & "an old soldier".) yours, satx USAMPC, Retired

Chicago Yukon 95, WELCOME ABOARD. - LOOKS like "a screaming bargain" for 500.oo to me. I'm new here, just bought a 1986 Ford F250 Lariat 6.9 diesel with <60K original miles "for peanuts" (One owner but it hasn't been started in >8years.) & the old members are NICE & moreover PATIENT with my...

WarWagon, The old tractor is no more. - It putted right along, happily doing "farm stuff" until the TX brush fires destroyed the barn & the tractor. - That same fire also destroyed my VERY rare (one of reportedly 2 or 3 that were ever completed) 19 foot HURRICANE of TEXAS I/O runabout boat &...

Will L., IF we still had our old diesel farm tractor, I wouldn't be afraid to run that old & "un-finicky" BEAST on most anything that will burn. (We ran a lot of filtered waste motor oil, "French fry oil" & "stock feed-grade" cottonseed oil in it, W/O problems.) yours, satx
