    Default Junkyard today...



    I'm starting a chronicle of the things that catch my eye, while I enjoy the affordable hobby. Mods, feel free to move this thread.

    I saw a winch at the junkyard today.

    It might be a bit much for a Sammi, or a Cherokee, or a 4Runner, or a ...

    Mike was there any good parts left on that 57-60 Ford truck besides the winch? Or did you get any other pics of it?

    Sean, I didn't know you were looking or any more '57 to '60 parts. I don't know if this has any good parts, but it sure has a bunch of levers!







    I usually give Jonathan (Popsgarage) a call when I go yard hopping. If I wait until I get there, I won't forget what he's looking for.

    He might be ready for a junkyard run himself.

    Let me know when you are going again Mike, Its been awhile since I went. I assume you are meaning hydraulic levers? I need to get some of those as well as hoses.

    Hey Mike, keep an eye out for an F350 (99 1/2 & up) metric front axle too. You can go ahead & pull it for me & I'll come pick it up. lol

    Those are easy to spot, because they are missing the front drive axles.

    I have found the occasional hen's tooth and/or Unicorn fart. I need you to PM your number, again.

    When I was on the phone with Jon, he was interested in getting out again. Myself, I'd want to start early, in Aurora.

    I didn't look close enough to tell if the winch is hyraulic, or shaft driven.

    That should be a PTO winch. There's a PTO lever in the cab, a brake lever & a F-N-R lever on the side, or might be clutch lever by the brake?

    I got a better look yesterday: The windshield is toast, the back window is now gone, I took some close up pictures of the grill.





    The levers on the winch work just as Charles described, no detail pic of those. The PTO does drive a shaft, which drives a chain:





    I have to admit I did not pay much attention to the details of this winch when I first saw it. I was looking at the capstans on the end, wondering when and why you would use those.

    There were a few other things that caught my eye.

    Home built (?) bumper on a 'Sploder, made from 3/16" steel sheet.



    I also saw some aftermarket springs on an XJ.

    Looks like good fun. I miss yard crawling. I used to go every Sunday until we moved here. Unfortunately now all of my tools are still in Idaho and I have no workspace here in CO.
