What's the craziest/most interesting/unique item you've ever hauled or towed with your Taco?

1905 gas powered close to full size Curved Dash Olds replica made in the 1950's.

 

ok just hauled this home today a M416 trailer I got in an auction. I had to take the
big ass compressor with it. Also a Victor cutting torch. Any takers on the compressor.
I just wanted the trailer LOL

I found this riding mower in front is someone's house this morning...

 

And I found this in a neighborhood while DoorDashing in Allentown the other day...

 

Damn if you were close I'd ask how much for that engine

 

if you were close to Indianapolis I would work something out with you.

 

I got $17 for everything including the aluminum pan that the water heater sits in (well, there two aluminum microwave hood grates, the chassis from our old microwave, and a poundcake tin, but those couldn't have been worth much), which makes this my personal record for a water heater!

 

nice work!

 

When I see a mower like that, I think fuel shut off. Not scrap value.
The carb is gravity fed. If the float sticks open, or the needle leaks, the crank case is now your new fuel tank.

I know, I think “weird”. But there’s a reason to my thought process.
It’s usually based on experiences…..

 

It was already torn apart when I found it though...

 

It truly amazes me what people spent tons of money on and then throw out; I found this Santa curbside in a neighborhood within walking distance of my own and picked him up to scrap; I plugged him in just for grins and unsurprisingly he was partially operational...

 

I broke him down so he actually fits in the truck...

 

I am not going to the scrapyard until I get my truck back tomorrow, but I have scored no less than three appliances in the last three weeks, the latest being this washing machine that I found in my girlfriend's neighborhood...

 

@Gwyns04 is letting me keep it at her house until tomorrow because I've already got a microwave and a mini-fridge in my garage that have been waiting to get scrapped for several days now...

 

I also found this oscillating fan while doing DoorDash in someone's trash while doing today. It's not much, but it will make a nice addition to the three aforementioned appliances that I already have!

 

that's the funniest post i think ive seen. i just wish you didnt post any context

 

Wasn't supposed to funny; just wait until I get my truck back tomorrow and you see all of the stuff I've collected for the scrapyard since I've gotten the loaner 3rd Gen...

 

@Little Lion

You would be absolutely amazed at what I've managed to cram into the bed of my truck over years!

Helping my cousin and her husband move some furniture from their apartment into their new house (October 2018)...

A complete central A/C and heat system (November 2022)...

Various scrap runs (November-December 2023)...

 

I finally got my truck back and picked up the washing machine...
