Geno 1,929 #1 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Got back late Sunday night from a PA ad Jersey haul. Got to meet and go to lunch with Trouty Bob and KM3H Nick, it was totally awesome. Sandra is enjoying the wine Bob. We picked up a 50" sickle and snowmobile that Bob got for us in PA. We picked up a 4 wheel wagon, 1971 Toro Professional 76" reel mower, an old air lift jack, among other things in Jersey from my Wheel Horse dealer friend. The reel mower alone weighed almost 1,800 lbs so we couldn't bring home much more. Oh well, we'll have to make more trips. On the way back we got to meet Desko, very smart and professional young man I'll tell you. I wish more people were as hard working and nice as he is. He had a Yanmar 30HP diesel engine we picked up, it purrs like a kitten. Don't know what we'll do with it yet but we'll find something for it. Sandra also scored a bunch of Longaberger baskets at a yard sale in Jersey for $47, and more wine from Bob. She is liking the hunt even more since she's starting to get all this wine from everybody. First pic is Bob, Nick and me loading the snowmobile. Edited October 21, 2014 by Geno 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno 1,929 #4 Posted October 21, 2014 It wasn't listed anywhere. I got it from my dealer friend in Jersey that you met last time. He's had it for over 20 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

km3h 543 #21 Posted October 22, 2014 Geno I had a great time meeting you, Sandra and Bob. it was a fun day for sure. We have to do this again. I know you will be back this way for the show and I hope you bring a lot of good things with you. Please make room for me to display two tractors with you. I don't think I can stay for the weekend, but I would like to spend a day with you. If you can, please send me the photo of you, me and Bob that Sandra took by email. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,929 #22 Posted October 22, 2014 It was a great time. You can display with me anytime. I'll send the photo tomorrow long as you promise not to show it to anybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
km3h 543 #23 Posted October 22, 2014 thanks, I want to stick it under the hood of the tractor to keep the squirrels from making a nest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #24 Posted October 22, 2014 And no one even commented on the fact that if Geno won the lottery ... with which he could build anything ... he would choose to buy an abandoned walmart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,164 #25 Posted October 22, 2014 I think the FIRST thing Geno needs to do before he buys that Walmart (if he hits it big) is he needs a bigger trailer, that one is dinky considering the size of your hauls.. Just think, if you had a bigger trailer maybe you would make it into Wheel Horse rich CT before it got stuffed. Maybe Walmart will toss in a semi truck and 48, no better hope it's a 52 ft trailer... Brandon I was wondering that myself, are there even abandoned Walmarts out there? I think he'll need an abandoned air craft hangar or maybe a shopping mall myself! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
