dells68 7,498 #1 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Well, last Tuesday I got a call from my 81 year old uncle. He is still very active and even takes trustees out from the jail to do road cleanup a couple of times a week! He said he had a few projects that he just wasn't going to get around to and wanted to know if I wanted them. Being the horder that I am, I said YES! Got there Saturday and found a 1953ish REO reel mower, a 60's Jacobson reel mower for golf course greens, a Standard Oil Company oil pump, a kerosene pump, a store brand mower for Emory, and a Simplicity Wonderboy for me. I hope to work on the wonderboy later this winter - it looks rough, but is all there - even the cast aluminum deck! Just thought I'd share my finds.

dells68 7,498 #5 Posted August 9, 2017 Bill has done a little of everything. At one point he had a mower repair shop. I'm amazed at all he has and was honored that he thought of me to care for his treasures. Everything but the simplicity was placed in the dry in our barn to prevent further damage. No doubt about it, I've got plenty to keep me busy. Not to mention that @oldredrider is tending to a couple of horses until I can get them to their home pasture. I think I need some meds - my condition is getting worse. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some would tell you the best med is "The hair of the dog that bit ya" So maybe you need more "vintage toys...?" Nice haul !! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
