Scrapping- ALL my water pump cores Many types

[Newc]

Buckets and buckets of them - NO demand. Speak up, can ship flat rate in USA. One week and they are Clean Cast scrap. Newc

[19Fordy]

If possible, list a few of what you have. Might generate interest. I know 1949-50 Merc pumps are getting hard to find.

I wish you the best. Your offer is about as good as one could possibly get.

I tried this with water pumps, starters & generators (over 125+), cylinder heads, intakes, even a number of '40 Ford radiators...all of it got scrapped.
Scrap yard gave me $5 each for the starters and generators, about $60 each for the radiators.

Gosh Kube, that's depressing. Shows that "Old is not Gold."

It kind of hurt to come face to face with the harsh reality of where this hobby that I have so thoroughly enjoyed for decades has come to.
It is just more proof that the only thing that doesn't change is the fact that everything changes.

Kube - I'd be interested in any 1933-1935 water pumps. Let me know if you have any and if so, we can work out something.

Sorry Dave, all gone.

If you could separate out the 32 tall pumps I am sure there is a market. Early pumps with plain pulleys without any type of reinforcement in the casting also. Early right hand pumps with nipples for heater hoses (these are all aftermarket for Ford).

Any OCM pumps would have some value since they aren't repopped. JMO

Yes, I agree. Make a quick list of what you have please.

I had a ***** block and crank kicking around for ages. I was gonna build an engine but found out what it was going to cost. A guy came through the neighborhood hood picking up scrap. It's gone. (I may have to revise my signature below...)

Your loss. Any uncracked flathead block is like gold. I am kinda known around here as the "guy with the parts", and I had a guy call me to see if I had a uncracked block. I had one that I thought was good, so I told him $800 and he could bring it back for a full refund if it was bad,. That was 5 years ago and I haven't heard back. I will agree, you can't give away good 8BA cranks, but I'm sure that will change in the future.

It seems there are a lot of us in the same boat. I have a shed full of Flathead Parts. I’ve put ads on the Internet I had one guy come he picked up a starter and a generator.
I just gave them to him.
I hate to scrap it, but then I would hate for my family to have to deal with it when I’m gone.

This picture is from about 10 years ago. There’s double the amount of parts AND a 1947 Woody in there now!

I’ve had a few parts for sale for at least half a year, and not one call. I did sell an original Ford engine fan shroud a couple years ago pretty quickly after I listed it. Guy was happy to find it and gave me CAN$50 when I was only asking CAN$40.
I see that Iron Trap Garage is buying up estate sales.

[Westak]

Hi, Would you have a nice, not corroded pair of 37-41 double sheave truck pumps?
Sorry i am a new member and do not meet the PM conditions yet. (NZ based but have California shipping address)
Thanks
Paul

[kurt v]

With all you guys scraping 8ba blocks i'll take one off your hands
kurt

[19Fordy]

Just imagine all the unknown desirable parts hidden away in the stashes of Fordbarners.
Trouble is, the market is fading away as folks pass on and the once valuable goodies get tossed in the dumpster or scrapped as selling it off is an arduous task.

[Newc]

Latest photos- keep finding stashes of these, even with friends now. A real LOAD developing. 3 -35/36 types, 3 -Mercs found. Newc

Nice find. "Heavy Metal" for sure that gets heavier as you get older.

[kurt v]

Newc where are you located, i need a 40 fly wheel ?

The pair of Merc pumps you posted should be worth something and they fit in a USPS flat rate box so not all that much trouble to ship. JMO

[Cool 33]

Hi, I'm in Texas and I think I have some of the early water pumps. I will check and see and get some pics. You can have them for free for the packing/shipping. Steve 469-474-6189

Load goes to scrap on Friday AM - Medium Flat rate boxes now $25 - USPS in trouble !!!! Newc

[Newc]

GONE:: the price for clean cast was $120 a ton. Sold a few cores then nothing. Still kept 3 '36 types and three Mercs just incase. 700 lbs earned $40. Not that good for clean load. Newc

[Scotty's 52 F3]

Thanks for offering up before you scrapped any, and for taking the time to ship the ones I got from you.

It’s unfortunate but I scrap heads intakes exhaust manifolds unrepairable blocks and more. Can’t keep it all and the value is so little it’s not worth storing as that costs also.

[1oldtimer]

Sadly not only does it have to do with a decline in popularity, but it has to do with shipping prices and location also.

[Scotty's 52 F3]

The shipping can definitely kill a good deal. I'd love to have a good set of EAB heads and the shipping is more than the price of the parts.

Newc sure didn't make much, if any on the parts he recently sent me. He definitely made a contribution to support the hobby before scrapping any of it. I appreciate the effort he made. It's dirty time consuming work.
