I have a steel "pallet box" filled with new old stock v-belts that
needs to go away. Long ones, short ones, A/B/C v-belts of all types
and styles
Got machinery that needs V-belts? Come and get this box for free and
you deal with sorting them out. Take what you dont need to the swap
meet, stockpile em, etc etc. Get em off my hands. The box is 4'x4' x
5' tall and is about 2/3rds full. Probably 2000 lbs of v-belts of all
types. They are about 10 yrs old..but have never been used. Got a
factory/facility that uses belts? Come and get em. Free-Free-Free. You
simply have to take them all.
*****
County is on my ass because of a complaint in 2011...2 yrs
ago..between me and an ex neighbor who thought one of my dogs killed
one of his (it wasnt). He couldnt find anything else to "get me "...so
he complained about that cargo container..which has been there since
2008ish.
Ive got an empty lot beside me that I have permission from the owner
to "if you keep it neat and mowed..you can use the back of it behind
the row of trees in the alley" So I put a 25' cargo container back
there, a small sailboat, a utility trailer and that box of v-belts.
Cannot be seen from the street. Now the county finally got around to
addressing the complaint from 2 yrs ago.
The neighbor has moved away..but the county wants me to remove the
"illegal dumping" and gave me 7 days to do it.
I can probably get them to give me extra time, but Im trying to find
the property owner so I can rent the lot, then put up a fence "to
enclose the property items".
My forklift of course is still broken, sigh.
The cargo container...is going to be a problem. Despite the fact
that there are many others in my neighborhood...and Im in an
unincorporated part of the county....they want it moved. And its full
of machinery that is going to need a forklift to move.
Anybody want a nice heavy duty steel utility trailer with a pickup
cargo body mounted on it? Best offer and come and get it.
The cargo body needs the locks replaced/repaired. and probably a coat
of paint. The original utility trailer was used by NASA to move
batteries of some sort around....I was told.
I need to get that forklift up and running ASAP. Or another
one..damnit
I just got off the phone with the enforcement lady..and she gave me a
little time..but not a hell of a lot. So come and get your belts, buy
the trailer..and get yourself some Good Stuff.

I second what ATP said, it can be a blessing in disguise. Sell the
container and its contents to scrappers, you will probably get
$140/ton. Same applies to the dead forklift.

biggest state) ..and our population is 800,000 total.
Is that like where you are at?
Sure you dont want to pay the shipping? Its only 2066.7 or so miles.

going to do with those belts? How were they going to generate any income?
You need to take some advice from Comrade Iggy on how to run a business.

Would have liked a steel one but the plastic I can carry. My days of
tossing a steel 4X4 basket over my head to carry it are over.
I have been looking at the prices on shipping containers again, they

I wound up with them...along with an entire back yard of Stuff, when a
friend bought a factory up in Fresno. Google that story on Usenet.
Ive told it enough times.
I paid nothing for that Stuff..and it cost me an arm and a leg to get
rid of most of it. This is about the last remaining bit of Stuff that
was left.
Ive given away at least 20+ long flat belts with "cogs" on each side
to a group of kids from University So. Cal..to be used as treads on
their battle bots. Ive equiped half the wetbacks in town with belts on
their beater pickup trucks when they didnt have any money. Ive given
belts to guys who needed to replace belts on oil pumping units on a
Sunday afternoon.
The reason I still have them..is that I didnt throw them away..because
someone always needed one. They are brand new Gates etc etc..just
12-15 yrs old and have been stored in a covered container out of the
sun. Shrug
Im talking to the owner of the property ..the empty lot..and he has
offered to sell me the lot for between $5k and $8k. So..we shall see
what we shall see.

Its a Baker/Linde BP-30L forklift. The unit has hydrostatic drive.
Which means the VW Jetta engine in it runs a big hydraulic pump, which
in turn operates the hydraulic motor at each front tire.
There are 3 pedals on the floor. Forward-Brake-Reverse.
There is a lever on the dash that controls the engine speed.
There is a computer under the dash (now dead) that keeps the engine
running at whatever speed you set it at..no matter the load or unload.
It pulls in a big..big 12vt "solenoid" that operates the throttle
lever at the carby. The carby itself needs rebuilding. A simple seal
kit is $27. However...they discontinued the simply carby kit..and
redesigned the carby. So the NEW kit includes a new top unit for the
carberator and that kit costs $125. The heat exchanger is also
suspect..but the kit for that is only $25
This forklift is rated Rough Surface..which means it has knobby tires
and is tall enough to run on gravel and over rough, generally flat
ground.
https://picasaweb.google.com/104042282269066802602/Yard#5219325006569125490
The computer...I found one in Georgia ...for $125. Ive had the money
($250+/-) 5 times saved up. Each and every time I got ready to order
the parts...something happened where I needed to spend the money on
something important..medical bills, cell phone bill etc etc.
Keep in mind..that last year..I grossed..grossed $27,500 or less.
Subtract the aprox $5k I spent on fuel and insurance for my work
truck.and all the mouths Im feeding..and the dogs and cats..and the $
I spend on cell service..and the highest electric rates in the US
So...Im not doing very well at the moment..and havent since 2008 when
the economy went into the toilet. Then there is the little thing
called "triple bypass surgery" and "stroke hospitalization"....
And of course..I have the van that is 3 yrs past due on
registration..which in California..means almost $1000

Here's what I see. That you don't have $200 to fix a forklift, but are
yapping about paying several thousands for a lot that you've claimed,
multiple times, to already own!
"the empty lot I own to the left. I also own the lot on the
other side of the alley." "Im going to put up a
30x50 steel building on the empty lot to the left of the house."
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.home.repair/msg/745fd34b5e5a19a9
"the other two lots that I own..right next to mine..and behind mine."
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.econ/msg/01785581c332e034
If only you had a penny each for half of the horseshit stories you've
told.

Mabee in the reust belt where industries are closing down at a record
pace, but up here you don't get anything even REPAIRABLE for that
price.. A fork lift attachment to put on the 3 point hitch of a farm
tractor is worth $500 in decent shape. A non-running basically
complete 3000 lb hard-tire old Clark is advertized for $1000 - needs a
hundred dollars in parts plus labour to make it run.
An old 5000 lb clark - 1996 model - worling condition is $3000.
And old Mitsubishi 15000 pounder that "needs work" is $1800.
A leaky 2002 Linde, $2900.
A 5000 lb air-tired Cat on Propane, $4900.
A 5000 lb air tired Yam, $3800
All the rest on Kijiji in Ontario are in the $6000 and up range - a
good yard truck (larger air tires) is a $9000 item in running
condition.

$3800 and up depending on condition around here - and the $3800 unit
will be ROUGH. A decent one is $6800 or more. That's for a "yard
truck" than can handle more than 2 inches of unevenness in the surface
and move if the ground is damp.

I brought in a couple grand last year offloading my accumulated goods
for projects I never started or never finished. Craigslist and eBay
both work fine. AAMOF, I finally bought the idler bearing (for the DP
you gave me/we restored) over 2 years ago and have never installed it,
even after selling the 8" HF DP 6 months ago. <blush>

Ooh, got any 3/8" id 1-2" diameter 3/4" thick (or less) timing pulleys
and long (8+') lengths of 0.2 cog belts? Stick 'em in my box! I'll
use 'em on the Green Monster. Like this: http://tinyurl.com/cwclc33

capitals of the world. Once. Which is why he is now scrapping trucks
and getting forklifts cheap. Cause its now part of the "rust belt" of
America.
The same reason Im getting lathes and mills cheap here in California.
Guy called me today..wants me to work a day for him in So Cal..and in
return..I get a Clausing Colchester lathe that had a very primitive
CNC device installed on the ways that did 2 motions. And it cut
plastic. So the ways, the carraige and compound have never every been
used..and it was only used for 6 months.
This lathe
http://www.lathes.co.uk/colchester/page17.html
Built in 95 and not run in 10 yrs or longer.
With tooling. Collet closer, etc etc.
Now I just have to figure out if I want to sell it...or hang on to it
and use it. If I hang on to it..what do I sell to make room for it?
The 15x52 Clausing 1500? The Hardinge HLV-H?

Your requests for those hand tools still being ignored by your close friend
gummer? What a fuckin shame that you didn't know he can't be trusted at his
word.
Not before the heart drama, and definitely not now that he has the perfect
excuse to not do anything for anyone else.
Who's a twit? I know you are..
