Street Scrapping Treasure - Did They Really Throw Out A John Deere?

[@marthaweinberger7013]

This was a great video!! Always love to visit with Jeff! He is so much fun. I had so many laughs and giggles. Thanks

[@nachostuff]

So glad! Jeff is good people and is very easy to mess with since he has a great sense of humor. He is great to have and that is why I am always looking out for things for him - as a gift or to harass! LOL

[@MrRjl]

I like how so many people throw away their gas grill because the igniter don't work. All you have to do is unscrew the button part and replace the Double-A battery with a new one. Bingo you now have spark again.

[@nachostuff]

Happens ll the time - better for us scrappers.

[@thedude6297]

Nice scoops. I bet that bike was sweet in it's day. I had fun.

[@nachostuff]

I bet so too - it might even be good now but I do not know much about bikes and it had zero markings. Thanks for watching.

[@scottbormann2765]

Behind the tractor down way below the seat, there's a pin or rod that pulls out so the tractor free rolls, like in neutral.

[@nachostuff]

Learned that the hard way - I will know for next time though.

[@markdanielczyk944]

I grab lawn equipment off the curb all the time. People just do not know how or want to take the time to repair their equipment. One mower cost me $20 to repair, as of now have made $19,000 plus profit with that mower! Keep up the good work, love the video!

SERIOUSLY - MP is the worst. Just had another flake tonight. 400 other people have been asking about it and I tell them its pending pickup and they don't show. Now all the other 400 people will be radio silent - I just don't understand.

[@albertday9423]

Good morning Matt here's a idea for when you try to take stuff up the ramp on your trailer... Put a thin piece of plywood on and the stuff either roll or slide up. just an idea god bless 🙏

[@nachostuff]

Also helps if I take the tractor out of gear. There is a little thing in the back you pull and it makes it much easier to push - didn't know that at the time.

[@815fishing8]

Man that Deere was a score! Couple hundred just as a parts mower alone! Heck of a haul this trip!!

Nacho, looking at this and I’m seeing the BBQ grills with the side trays sticking out well why not carry a sledgehammer and knock them off will save you room for other things

[@nachostuff]

[@jerimiahwilson6993]

If the ignition don't work on the grill try to unscrew it and replace the battery in the ignition switch

[@nachostuff]

Or change the ignition button but that requires work - I will stick with my lighter LOL

[@robinw.darnell4269]

Peg board is $71/ 4x8 sheet at our local big box store. That was almost a full sheet where you picked up the second grill. Just saying.

[@nachostuff]

I see that - I didn't see it when I was there. Probably a 1/2 a sheet but I do not currently need any and there isn't really resell opportunity for that based on looking so it probably would have been a pass anyways. Thanks for the new knowledge though!

[@thefeatheredhag4279]

I’m new to the channel and scrapping, I was just curious how the metal gets weighed, is it weighed on the trailer? I just find this so interesting, thank you the entertainment. 😊

[@nachostuff]

You drive onto the scale and are weighed - then you unload and drive back onto the scale - the difference is what you are paid on.

[@SHAKA38]

The hurricane shutters were a nice find but the John Deere was tops! I ain't mad about the trunk...that was a good decision and I'm glad that you were able to make money on it. You snagged the dryer with the, "No Scrap Left Behind," ethos. 😄👍🏿 Jeff was right about those Marine lights too...your subs wanna see them cleaned to make the most. 😜

[@nachostuff]

I do too but I only have so much time. Maybe when I get caught up or get some storage space. Until then - we have to turn stuff in dirty!

Hey Mat I get free Riding Mowers all the time folks just to get rid of bc they won't to up grade to a newer Mower that John is worth money bc u can sell the parts of it

[@nachostuff]

For sure. I had to go back just to make sure - that thing I want to do is take someones mower because their kid didn't put it back where it belonged. It will certainly pay more than scrap.

[@haroldfisher2581]

Release the hydrostatic trans axle with the rod at the rear and it will push easier.

Hey man just a little suggestions for potentially making more money. Those Shark vacs hardly ever break. ive had one for 15 years. If you see them they are worth taking home and checking. They usually need a thorough cleaning and dismantling and reassembly then they work great. Most people just don't bother and think somethings wrong with it. Usually a blockage in a pipe. They are worth a good bit working. Lots of How To vids on fixing them on KZbin too. Just thought I'd mention it! Take care! Best of luck with everything!

[@nachostuff]

I might consider it once. But cleaning up someone else's nasty vacuum does not sound like much fun. I barely like cleaning mine. But if they are fast sellers I might consider it

[@fishman8662]

Why do you cut the cords off all the vacuums? Nice haul on the deere $ making there.

Cords count as #2 wire and pay $1.20 a pound. That means that vacuum cord is worth over $1 a scrap.

The Deere was the big box store homeowners special, they don't last very long. You have to buy it from a dealer and buy one of the bigger better models if you want one that will last..

[@nachostuff]

@@nachostuff One of my neighbors is a retired mechanic and he took good care of his Deere, and one day in the winter while snow blowing the engine blew up. He bought it from the big box store and only had it for about 5 years. My other neighbor bought one and the drive belt kept coming off, so the big box store sent out a repairman from the JD dealer and he said the box store didn't have it adjusted right.

The John Deere, could have sold it as needing work, $150-200. Beats the $6 per 100 lbs of scrap cost and then. If parted out, the John Deere hood $200 and seat could sell for $100 on eBay. Just for info, there is a small bypass handle at back of mower to pull out and it puts transmission in bypass/push mode.
