[Vwdiesel] Found parts

[mikitka]

 A friend of mine that told me about this salvage yard has it down pat, He
is going to let me in on his tricks.  He has an old army duffle bag that he
uses and packs full then straps that to his back, along with tying things
off of it. Matter of fact I need to get up with my one friend, he carried
out a complete Ford 9 inch rear axle hubs and all. 
It is my understanding that you just have to be able to carry the parts out
over their weight scale, about a 60ft distance I think. So getting them to
that point is any method. Oh and the $40 all you can carry is every Saturday
from 8AM to Noon. I guess that means I need to take a day off during the
week, find a car with the keys, open the trunk, put it all in there lock it
up carry the key and then just go back on Saturday to do the carrying out.  

Keep the list of things to get, I forgot all about the relays and door
handles. I need to print this out and carry it with me. :) Oh two still had
the tranny on them as well. I know I can carry that out.

Thanks
Nick

Oh I second the motion.  Do I ever second the motion!

I can carry an engine. Pisses me off that you are so far away......
I know a couple other strapping farm lads that could run with a volks
engine.
Now that would be some sale   :-)))

Got any big friends that push iron? Bet them a 12 pack they can't carry an
engine off the premises....

Not to be hoggish, but you can get a second trip for another 40?  shit....
the possibilities.  Take some wire to tie the stuff together with.  Man, we
don't have yards with anything other than rusted out gassers around here.
All the diesels are on the road yet, or parked in someone's back yard
awaiting some tlc... or with fuel prices are in the garage getting some tlc
to get on the road.

Heads
Pumps
diesel instrument clusters/tach
relays, specifically glow plug relays, or the whole fuse panel for that
matter

wrecking yards with cars that have door handles ;-) Surely you jest.
Just grab it all man.
oi...

Oh my God!

Grab all of the:

Heads,
Injection pumps,
Vacuum pumps,
Injection lines,
Door Handles,

At $40 for the load, you can make a tidy profit for yourself and still
pass along the good deal to others.

I'm jealous.
