Chunky/shorty storage bin

I scored a huge plus today. Went by our local OPE dealer to pick up our mower. He had one of these empty and gave it to me. Said he had another I could have when its empty. I think these will work great, since they can be stacked and has a drop down door

 

I love having separate storage for “uglies”. Those dense chunks are great to throw in the burner before you head to bed on those really cold nights.

 

Nice Jeff


Wonder what was in it originally

 

Yes sir. Thats what I pack the stove with.
Bin full drying

 

Parts are shipped in them

 

I’ll get a pick of my uglies tomorrow.

 

I kinda got that, but was wondering if it was random smalls or mower engines, or something of that size.

Looks in great shape though

 

Where I used to work we got small forging or small castings in them to feed the machines to make finished parts.

 

Nice score!

 

Didn't mean to sound like a smart azz.
This one had pulleys on it. The next one has deck spindles in it.

 

I worked at Rheem A/C plant in the early '80s, we had 100's of those metal bins, stored all kinds of parts on them.
Had some where I work now, they just changed them out and a guy got the best ones......there are a few left, pretty bad shape though.

 

That sure is one nice piece of free stuff

 

Great find and great repurpose. I like the legs to prop it up.

 

The uglies. I have more that need cut in half out at the splitting area, probably enough to fill it up.

 

never a shortage of them at my place...shorties & chunkies that is.

 

Good height, has a let down door and smaller opening to hold chunkies, nuggets...
