I picked up a Clark 4.5 inch angle grinder with a nearly severed power cord... a little repair and it works perfectly. I also picked up a treadmill on the off chance the motor was good. Got myself a 1725 rpm (I forget the hp rating) motor and a couple nice rollers with good bearings. (also a little gas high pressure cylinder that was for adjusting the incline, press down on the lever and it expands, press again and push together to compress it... but it's a bitch to compress).
This fall wasn't a great harvest through, last year I got two working lawn mowers,a nice bookcase, some scrap wood (big solid pieces) and some scrap aluminum.
