Thread: Old tractor tires??

I would like to have the tires and may be interested in some of the other stuff if you can wait till cool weather.

Yeah man. I can wait. Thinking of building a house up there next year.

Cool

Rent a tractor with front end loader, borrow or rent a trailer, load scrap up and sale it for scrap metal(I know a guy that will buy it from u and load it himself if u go that route). Take shoot house to high place with some visibility and deer hunt it, and throw the plastic away.

I'd like 2 tires not on rims, but got to wait for cooler weather.

Up here we get $0.80 a gallon for drain oil. Check around in your area for companies that buy it. By me its R+S waste oil.

The waste oil will make heating oil. The rims are heavy, and will scrap at a good price. Sounds like a pile of money to me.

Checked with local scrap company about rims. They only want them without tires, and I am not planning to spend several days breaking down tractor tires..... Like I said..... I let everything go in the farm auction, so I dont have the tools to break down these tires if I was willing. John said he wanted the tires, and Canebreaker said he wanted two of em, so I think the tires are gonna take care of themselves. The house has some good old timber in it (prolly 80 or 100 years old) and new tin on the roof, so I expect I might find someone who will tear it down for the materials. Could just burn it down, nothing within 100 yards of it. Several tanks to be moved, one 5000 gallon with waste oil in it, and a 20,000 gallon diesel tank with a couple of inches of fuel in the bottom. A couple of Mexicans purchased the cotton picker, but only stripped the parts they needed and shipped em to Mexico. They left the rest of the body on the property. I will never find them to make em clean it up, and technically, anything left on my property after 90 days reverts to my ownership, so I guess I own the scrap picker body, again.....

Sort of overwhelming the amount of stuff that piles up around a 100 year old farm headquarters........ But I hate to sell the shop, I spent almost my entire childhood on the property. Learned to pull a wrench, weld and load a truck right there. The shop belonged to my Grandad at one time, an Uncle for a while, and then my father for the last 25 years........Lots of memories.
