What did you buy at the junkyard today

Today i stopped by the local scrap yard to throw away some scrap steel that has accumulated in the big garage. There wasn't too much usable solid round stock to buy for machining on my lathe but did managed to found this big air compressor pump, it's missing its big pulley but look to be in good condition, i did put on a bolt and turn it over with a wrench and it sounds like is pumping also picked up couple of old steel rims and few odds and ends. I did get hell of a deal on the air pump, not sure was it because i brought him scrap in exchange for scrap but the pump cost me 8$ all in less than 10$ for everything.

Looks like a refrigeration pump- good condition too Goce

Not a refrigeration pump, it looks to be a two stage air compressor.

It's a single stage air compressor by the looks, pretty big in size, i can't find any tabs or manufacturer marks to look up specs.

Looks a lot like this one. Nice find. Mike

2 pieces of 3ft long 1/2" stainless rod and 4 x 2 1/2ft pieces of alu tube with threaded ends - parts for making a couple of external window shades
1 piece of thick walled square pipe and a chunk of 1x3x4" steel, to make a vise "adapter" for my new work bench, so I can swap in and out my vise, a bender and a grinder
a 2 3/16" socket, just because it's huge!

After taking off the money I got for my turnings and a pound of copper cable I found at the side of the road, the lot cost me $9 I love that place!

Today i was in the vicinity of the junkyard so i visited it, there wasn't too much solid material to buy for future projects but i did found couple things, main of with was this copper tubing, from disassembled cars that were converted on LPG, i'll reuse it on my little niva project, also found couple of reservars for coolant and power steering. I also grabbed couple lada wiring connectors, an empty catalytic converter, for the swivel joint, also bought that aluminium bed frame i have some plans for that tubing, all in i paid 12$ witch was a great deal because the copper alone cost more than that in scrap, i negotiate the price down because the copper is covered in rubber sleeve and is not clean copper.

I picked up this Onan gen set for a mere $50.00 Not knowing that there was a Kubota D722 engine inside.
It looks like it was never used. The magnets came unglued from the armature.

I made a very large contribution to the scrap yard today . 530 lbs worth .

Looks like a varmint is livin in the Onan.......dog is mighty interested.......The little 3 cyl Kubota is a great little motor.........I was once going to put one in a motorbike and sidecar outfit.
