I've always had a junk pile and yes, some of the stuff in there has been there for nearly 20 years, and it was old and worn out when I got it. Need a piece of metal, go to the junk pile. I did get in the cleaning mood a couple of years ago, loaded up 5 old combines and hauled them to the scrap yard with the headers that went on them. Couple of old tractors that were junk, took all the old tillage tools to the auction and got a lot more than junk price for them.  Mama says I quit too soon but I still like to tinker around. I sure don't want someone else messing around in my shop, it's hard enough for me to find something without somebody moving things around
