MSU Surplus Store

[sheepfarmer]

Surplus and Salvage was an old building where you went and scrounged for office or lab furniture for your office when I still worked there, and when you left or retired that was where it went back to. Some of those desks were a hundred years old. Well after a while they started selling leftover stuff to the public, and I just discovered they have a WEBSITE. From the comfort of your armchair you can see what they have, bid on something or just purchase. I have a new online addiction.... that L5030 Kubota was on that site a while back. Anyway if you are bored with Craigs list, check it out. This weeks offerings include a grain drill, sickle bar skid steer attachment only used twice , a farm cart, Allis Chalmers high row crop tractor, Onan generator and so forth. Prices ranged from $5 to $23,000 for the grain drill. Shipping possible. They tell you about known defects.

I was reminded of this because of the ongoing thread on drill presses. a few months ago I stopped by to get a table, and they had some kind of fairly fancy milling machine up for auction. The engineering machine shop on campus was one of my favorite divisions, they could make you darn near anything. If any of their old stuff turned up, someone on the forum could use it.

Small world....

My wife is alumni and we are members of the University Club as well (best beanery in Michigan)... Family on my wife's side lives in East Lansing. I'll have to start watching it. I'm looking for a drill actually (grain drill that is).

Sheepfarmer, they have a wide selection of "stuff"!

That wagon for a start bid of $5 would make a nice wagon for the farm. Have someone remove the drain pipe in the back and make the back a tailgate. You're close enough you could pick it up with no shipping.

I was looking at that wagon, but not sure how I'd get it home. I think they said it had some kind of tire or wheel problem. I should stop by and see it in person.

If you enjoy "shopping" try this link. https://www.purplewave.com/

They charge a 10% buyer's fee, so one has to add that to the final price. You can go the the search bar and type in "kubota" or "tractors" or "flail" or any specific item and go right to it.

I'm looking forward to this site in the future because Kubota is moving some of their operations in Grapevine, Tx. to the Gardner,Ks. distribution center where they are currently adding on. This should make some items they are selling closer.
