Well after many years of old lawmowers and having to fix them over and over we took the plunge to something more efficient. Wish me luck I will like it. I am usually the pusher and trimming. Lol
Apparantly two screws could not handled the stray critter (racoons my guess) that tried to take down the bird feeders. This should fix that issue. Didn't have the right rod to weld these smoothly but lets see them try and tear this down now. Always something.
@NakedTXAngel I don't understand it either. I could see an appliance or two but they dumped old toys, hoses, and things that could have went in the garbage. I am feeling like this springs clean is coming to an end. Have a couple of old tractor buckets to haul, then I am done.🤪
Another morning hauling junk off. Very heavy junk at that. Was a little bit of a workout but finally hauled the last 3 old snowmobile frames out. Think we did 3 last year. Roll my eyes everytime I think that someone thought it was a good idea to pollute their own property.
Finally decided to scrap the mower deck from our 2001 Craftsman DLT3000. Grabbed the deck from the LT1000 no one drives cause its a lever trans, not pedals. Surprized we got 25 years from the deck. Stripped it of its pulleys and parts and its off to the scrap yeard.
Dropped off more junk yesterday. Only one appliance was ours, the rest from the back. Only have a couple of furnaces and a freezer or two to drop off. I am about spent on energy for this spring cleanup.
Started cleaning this monstrousity from the front yard. 5 Loads of branches and limbs and its almost time to hack this trunk up. Unfortunately went around with the mower and one of the deck spindles snapped. So now that has been put high on the list. Always something.
@StickyNerdyMilf Can't see the junk on our place as they also placed it on the back property line as well in a clearing in our wooded part. Should have hit it earlier, when I could have gotten the tractor in for easier cleaning before the trees grew up, but you know...out of site out of mind.
@StickyNerdyMilf This was what we inherited when I bought the place 20 years ago. We can only get to the junk in the spring. In the summer it is overgrown with ferns. Still messed up people did this sort of thing back in the day. Sellers wanted 20k+ to cleanup before we bought it. We said nope.🤣
I do believe this is the last load of tires to drop off. And snowmobile number 4 and 5 almost ready to go. I slice them in half for easier handling. Cost $42 to drop off 19 tires, some still on rims. No reason for people to dump them on their property.
@NakedTXAngel And of course I used the wrong account to reply. F'n X and their need to screw with our accounts to the point we have to keep the safe stuff away from the other stuff.
Went back and got another 10 tires to add to the 8 we pulled out last week. Even had a tree growing through a rim. Should be the last ones left. I swear we already took in two dozen if not more the past few years. 🤪🥵
@NakedTXAngel It was here when we bought the place but can only get at it in the spring. Ferns grow through it all quickly and tall by June which hides everything. It's a pain and we are always finding new "treasures " every year.
Spending our Spring dragging scrap metal left behind by the previous owners and chopping it up. Never understood why people back in the day used their properties to throw junk away on.
