Van down by the river

Donate it. They will haul it away.

Donate it. They will haul it away.

That is a good idea. I will have to do some looking around to see if there is anyone around here that offers that. And as long as I am at it, maybe they can grab some others too. I have about 6 junkers that I need to get rid of, but if I haul it myself I can get a couple hundred bucks for each. Its a PITA, but money is money.

Gonna be in the Mr. Potato Head truck soon, but I have applied to an opening for a critical facilities engineer position that recently opened up at a local datacenter and if I manage to land it, probably won't need the extra money that badly....However, if I don't get it, I probably will lol

Good idea though, I'll look into it

Had to use a screwdriver to pry the locking mechanism enough to free the shifter, but I done did it. Steering wheel is also free

Now, to go pick up the trailer

 

[mcblink]

Gonna pull it up on this bitch and get this junk pile gone

They made it so that you could not UN-lock it. It's protected by a anti-theft security design.

Hey missed the thread. This year Van you can go to a junk yard & pop a used ignition in pretty easily. Or they even cheap ones at parts stores. Its a common keyway for GM those years .No chip to program. Pretty sure you can bang a screwdriver in there & break the resistance & start the van. the ignition will be shot but the screwdriver will be you new key. All you are doing is moving the ignition forward to have contacts made.

If that's true, they didn't do a very good job of it lol

That one is an old beat up tractor. Grandpa bought it brand new in '74, I believe....but it is a good tractor for certain jobs.

If you can plow the driveway with it and drag a deer out of the woods it's perfect. Especially if the cab is heated.

Oh yeah, heater and AC

That's actually a smaller and older tractor than most of the tractors we have.

Not 4wd either.

You should drag the van down by the river and fill it with tannerite. Now that would be fun. We did it with a washing machine once.
