The wrecking yard in Adam's was well known to quite a few Canadian collectors. I managed to spend a few bucks there. He had lots of tires off the 151's and quite a few piles of squashed bodies. My best purchase was the folding seat out of an old Northwest crane.
Cheers, Barry

Mr Carriere it is my understanding that the bulk of the CMP stuff that resides east of Rob Love is located in a small Hamlet called Hammond. I found that little known tidbit on Wikepedi. Barry

its a case of knowing when to hold em, and knowing when to fold em.
alas once someone starts collecting, its almost impossible to get them to "fold em" I guess we all have stories of someone holding on to an item who says " Im gonna restore that someday",, and you realizing its never gonna happen, and the item rots away My best story is an MG-TD...spotted first when rough but restorable... got the story..gonna restore it, not for sale,,, years later spotted in exact same place, now very rough..good for some parts maybe...years later spotted again, literally collapsed into a pile of rusty junk with four rubber tires sticking out.... another story is of a CMP (known to several of us) owned by an 80+ yr-old guy..parked for years, if not decades,, good for parts only..and not many at that,, nope not for sale, gonna restore it.. last seen a few years ago and hadnt moved , just sitting exposed and getting worse...I expect its a total loss by now

I was at this fellas yard once.
At the time, none of the 151 stuff was for sale except for the tires. Even then, he was asking a significant amount for them. I left empty handed. I'm guessing something has come up in the family causing this wave of sales.

I just read on another board that some folks from Fort Drum paid him a visit and told him that the M151s will not be getting sold without being demilled and were subsequently removed from the Auction block.
