    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    Mostly no, these are auctions of confiscated goods or bankruptcy or ending of a company. Only very rare do they have something like "army surplus" where the Harley was, or "oldtimers". I think I saw three-four older heavy bikes coming along, mostly 60s-80s for the older, and after 2002 more...

    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    I think these trucks and jeeps were at that yard several years, they bought them surplus years and sometimes decades ago. They have a team of about 5 max 10 workers there and slowly repair and repaint the trucks, scavenging the worst trucks to keep the repair of the good ones cheap. Ones enough...

    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    Probably not government, but everything else, yes, especially bigger mining, construction, and agriculture companies. Not even sure they are all sold or they have a African company (or plural) who buys them bulk and sells them individually, taking care of the local paper work. I did not ask...

    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    They bought whole lots of surplus all along, probably from the very beginning in the 60s and 70s. Then slowly, by type, they repair-overhaul them, repaint them, load them with overhauled or NOS parts or complete jeeps, and ship them off. I could buy new and NOS stuff from them, but when I asked...

    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    Can't post post titles anymore? Anyway: anybody for a truck or two in perfect condition? Better hurry, because these are all prepared and ready to go to Africa. Why waste space: the truck beds are full of spare parts, tires, generators, ... ... or nicely repainted Mercedes jeeps...

    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    I am in the Netherlands, and am looking for some parts. Two front axle seals I have, set me back $20 a piece, good price I think. Then I looked up Sindorf Trading again online, to check if they have spare parts. This is a good one to get frustrated on a rainy afternoon. Last time I mentioned...

    I first thought the difference was between the M1 and the M1A1, but the three I saw in Austria and several on internet show, I think, both models with and without split window.

    Quite unexpectedly I am going to the Netherlands with my better half and two grandkids for a few days. Time to also get some stuff for the M51. I was trying to find Van Dam's surplus yard. If you want to drool from a distance, check out this google map showing their yard. They have around...

    European scrap - salvage yards and parts suppliers

    This week I drove my son and one of his apprentice blacksmith students to an art exhibition in Vienna, Austria. That stuff does not really turn me on, always said I am a culture barbarian. So I used the time to visit another "exhibition": Camo, a surplus vendor just 20 km south of Vienna. Good...
