I've told the story before. Many many moons ago, before I knew better and was a full blown scrapper, I came into a chunk of lead from an industrial culdron. This damn thing was sooooooooooooooooo huge that it flat out crushed the farm tractor tire that it was sitting on. The owner said I could have it, if I was able to get it on the truck I was driving. Took almost two hours to drag it up an outdoor loading ramp and snapped my steel cable twice! When I rolled it off the end of the dock and into the truck, it was just like a cartoon as the truck suspension dropped and the front end came up like a bucking bronco reaching for the sun! I was positive the axle plumb broke in two. When the dust settled, I did a walk around and things seemed well enough. Jumped in and drove that pig right to the scrap yard.
Hard time steering as the front end kept climbing like I was on a dragstrip. Wheelie bars are for sissies! Made $300.00 on that one. Now that I'm a caster, I often think about that score. Really was a lifetime supply in one fast deal. What big chunks have you all let go?
