There was a guy like that 8 minutes from me.Had a barn piled right to the loft with parts and pieces,and the grounds surrounding the barn were the same way.Only problem was that it was mostly all lawn-boy push mower stuff.He only had narrow trails through the barn,now i'm not really into that kind of stuff but it was some site to see.He died this past summer and the family had this guy come in with these great big dumpsters and take it all away.

I had a pile that wasn't quite that big,but it was enough to pi** my neighbors off enough to complain to my parents!--(but them having 2 chicken coops with 1000 rats crawling all the place over was OK!)..I got rid of them all eventually,some parts I still have stashed away..

I wonder how that guys neighbors feel?..of course,elsewhere in the USA people have more space and aren't anal about what their next door neigbors have,or do with it too..wish I had grown up in such a place,more rural,and with lots of acreage to do what you want without getting anyone upset..
I'd love to live next door to this guy!..I dealt with a guy in another town who had at least 300 lawn tractors piled up in a heap as big as a house,he'd sell you any WHOLE tractor for 25-50 bucks--NO PARTS though,he was funny about that..I think the town was after him to dispose of them and that way,the pile shrunk faster..plus running a "salvage" operation was illegal in residential zoned areas..unfortunately, he died before the pile was even half gone,and I saw many wheelhorses RJ's and other desireables get loaded into 18 wheeled dump trucks with a trackhoe and hauled off for scrap..:( Wish I was in his will!...

My wife would not want me going someplace like that. Probably wouldn't come home for week and when I did would have a trailer full.

I showed those photos to my wife...
She says "Well, I guess this means we'll have to take vacation to Ohio so you can look for tractors".
I was speechless.....she was serious.

I do have a grade school sweetheart that currently lives in Akron.

I need to figure out how to spin this one ...so it doesn't backfire.
