: Real Canadian Scrapers
nat_ster 08-01-2011, 09:59 PM At one time I used to drive tow truck, and have always liked to bring a Junker home for parts, and / or fix. As long as I drove tow truck for local law enforcement, they turned a blind eye to 11 vehicles in my back yard in town. Current bylaw at that time ( three years ago) stated that I was only allowed 2.
After I quit operating tow truck, things were fine until they transferred out the bylaw officer for a new one. With that change, my back yard also had to. The problem is I had no equipment to haul, or tow vehicles.
So my solution was to cut up any vehicle that had to go as cheap as possible, so I could load the pieces by hand. With that in mind, I fashioned a ax to cut the steel, out of half the flat bottom spring from the dodge truck it would cut up. For a handle a 2.5 foot chunk of 1” pipe. No grip, just the pipe to hang onto.

To follow you will find the pics of the last 3 years of scrapping, and how I’ve gone from having almost nothing, just needing to clean my yard, to now having a 38 foot Cummins powered school bus converted to a roll off tow truck, and making more than 50% of my living from scrap. Please enjoy, and thank you for looking.

nat_ster 08-01-2011, 10:48 PM Just to see what would happen, I set the truck seat on the fire pit, and touched it with the cutting torch. Let’s say if your seat belt was stuck, after 30 seconds you would be dead, 240 seconds you are crisp, and the seat fabric and foam is completely gone.

nat_ster 08-01-2011, 11:31 PM 91 Subaru Justy I got for $50. I was going to make a mini 4x4 out of it. Front wheel drive till you press the 4x4 button on top of the 5 speed gear shifter. Then the rear would kick it. But I didn’t have the space, so I kept the driveline, and scraped the rest.

nat_ster 08-01-2011, 11:58 PM My old 1986 Chrysler Laser with a 2.2 L, 5 speed, no turbo. I bought the car with 187,000 km for $1100. Drove it for 4 years delivering pizza and driving 120km a day round trip to work. The fuel pump quit again at 430,000 km. By that time I only had $1900 into it. Cheapest miles I’ve ever driven. I kept it around a few years with intentions of fixing it as I had really good memories of the first few years of being married. But it’s time to go had come.
Into the dump trailer with a farm jack as a winch.

nat_ster 08-02-2011, 12:07 AM 1986 ford bronco 2 that used to be my wife’s family unit before I got her the 91 Astro van. It twisted the rear drive shaft, and working out of town, and punching a 60 to 70 hour a week time clock, I never got around to fixing it. So after a few years of sitting, I took her to the scrap yard. My wife has missed the 4x4 ever since.

nat_ster 08-02-2011, 01:00 AM A 70’s ford ¾ ton I found a few years earlier while towing. Got it for $150, pulled the flat deck off for my Dodge, and sold it a hour later to the neighbor 3 houses down for $150. So it worked out that I got a free flat deck, that I later striped the outer 3”x3” angle iron off, used it on the current flat deck on my 91, then sold the rest to my old towing boss for $400.

nat_ster 08-02-2011, 01:53 AM A few from a acreage clean up I did last year in 2010. By this time the equipment I’m hauling with belongs to the guy I subcontract part of my work from. It’s a 2003 Dodge 3500, 5.9 Cummins, with a 20 foot bumper pull Sea Can shipping container trailer. It has two 7000 pound axles, a 8,000 pound Warn winch and a live roll on the back. That combo with a couple of High Lift jacks, scrap is starting to move well. Scrap at this time is up from $30 to $50 a ton.

nat_ster 08-02-2011, 02:18 AM Now for the pics from this year.
This is one from a acreage we cleaned up after someone that worked at the dump lived at for 23 years. A few dump loads of miscellaneous steel that was left laying on pallets from a farm Auction over 10 years prior that now was grown up with grass. We also had 5 dump loads of steel rings from inside old, gas powered clothes dryers, that the man had kept for fire rings.
And this

A acreage where a woman wanted to put her RV were the bush had grown up around the vehicles. After we pulled them out, we used the tractor with the PTO powered rough cut mower to mulch up the 5” and smaller trees that had grown there.
http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae49/nat_ster/Canadian%20Scrapers/IMG_7355.jpg
I stepped up to using the same guys 40’ Sea Can trailer. It’s got 3, 7,000 pound axles, two Warn 16.5 winches, one front, one rear, 40’ deck with 8’ tongue that can be loaded. Truck and trailer are 65’ long.

Next acreage was only a few miles out of town. It to needed the miscellaneous steel and car parts removed from the tall grass, then mulch everything with the rough cut mower. 5 vehicles, a hovercraft, 3 ton dodge truck, a grain hoper, and 6 pieces of old farm machinery like square hay bailers and such. So far we hauled 21 ton not counting the three-ton dodge truck.
After I did some mowing.

Where it’s coming out of. It’s all sitting about 24” into the soil. Good thing we had the tractor there.

carnuck 08-09-2011, 12:24 AM Can't see the pics, but you sound like you're my brother from another mother!
nat_ster 08-09-2011, 11:43 AM I had to go upgrade my Photobucket to Pro due to how many pics I uploaded.
Everything should show up now.
Thanks for looking.

KyleQ 08-09-2011, 12:34 PM Wow - that had to be quite a pile of cash for all that scrap...

nat_ster 08-14-2011, 10:39 AM What scrap at out there now? Its floating around 90 a ton here
It ranges from $100 to $160 a ton depending where I haul it.

Not always, but most of the time yes. If I have too much lined up to haul, I just drop them whole.
I love scrap too. I'm like a kid in a candy store with this stuff. Never know what your going to find.:D

avery4jc 09-22-2011, 09:23 PM I know this is an old thread but this is awesome! Guy started with a freakin' overload spring battle ax chopping up cars and now look where he is!
I've talked to some local scrappers about cars (I take in mixed and non-ferrous metals for work but not cars) and they really ding you for not having the title. Is it like that up there or will they take whatever you haul in?
Boons 09-22-2011, 09:33 PM Dude why the fuck did you have to crush that fargo...the single cabs are rare enough but a fargo crew cab :mad3:. That fucker was worth some cash.
