30+ years ago when they closed the grain elevator in our small town, they took what they wanted and anything left was up for grabs. My dad decided we should have the leg belt with the cups on it that carried the grain from the pit to the top of the elevator and into the bins. Needless to say, they were a couple of long belts with lots of grain cups on them. We then proceeded to take off the grain cups bolt by bolt, and they make really good parts bins. They already have the bolt holes in them and they have rounded bottoms. I just ran across a big box of those cups in an old outbuilding that we had pushed in. I kept some and let the rest be buried with the building. I think I'll have plenty of parts bins for my lifetime!!!!
