My shitbox needs a new engine

Loading won't be a problem.

Any working Bridgeport that's not obviously clapped out will fetch a minimum of $2k here.

I'll start trolling marketplace for shit I need that can help with your gas bill.

Why no pics of the 3 forklifts and 2 tractors with forks on them?

Now you have 2 telehandlers you have to show off... I get it... ;)

F.E. Reed Lathe - Free to Good Home

Hi all, Since this is free and because it really is an antique lathe, I'm posting here instead of in the commerce section. Moderators, I apologize if you feel I'm in the wrong forum. One of my colleagues is looking to re-home an antique lathe located in Beverly MA. The lathe is located in a...

I know you said no old lathes but free leaves a lot of room for margin.

What kind of money do you want to make per Bridgeport? There's a steady stream of them at $1k but at $500 they're a lot more rare.

arse_sidewards Did you get my engine? When are you coming down?

No I didn't just go buy a $200-$300 engine based on vague non-committal hypothetical plans.

I'm targeting November for the drive down.

And it took you nearly 2 weeks to tell me this?



I am still in the market until something gets bought... ;)

If you're still interested buy one on car-part and tell me where to pick it up.

Any junkyard inside the red line.

My old favorite junkyard, just got off the phone they have a few from 1996 to 2000

For a hundo a Hispanic guy will pull it for you.

Yep. I did a half-ass re-ring about 75K miles ago and here we are... but the CEL will fail the mandated safety inspection so I am at the point that I have to fix it.

The teaching man at Votech told me after three attempts of no communication it’s an automatic pass, so just put the 12V + wire on the OBD2 connector on a switch. All they are allowed to do is check the fuse which is on the cigarette lighter circuit.

I wouldn't want to pay $250-300 for a pick-n-pull engine that Pablo pulled with no fucks given when you can buy one that a junkyard verified wasn't shit and pulled and shelved for the same price.

Whats worse you or Pablo?

Me.

But I'd be more concerned about getting unlucky and buying one that knocks seeing as you can't see engines run at the pick-n-pull whereas the guys that dismantled a running car presumably knew the engine was good when they took it out and shelved it.

Good or no good is usually on the windshield. I’m five for five out of that yard. YMMV

True.

Don't take this the wrong way..... you seem like a good dude. No homo.
