    The early settlers of Wisconsin "hill country" explored for lead. They never knew that future explorers would find something like gold.

    Good for you, really. I hope you enjoy going through it all.

    YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY. There is nothing there but junk. Twinkle, Just shoot me the address and I'll get all that crap out of there for you ASAP.;);)

    Good luck getting it sorted. Looks like you'll have lots to sell and share. I thought I found my "barn" too once. They didn't move on my offer for the stuff, which was real good by the way. I even found them a buyer for the house. They stalled till the closing and PAID a junk company to clean out the place. The things in that place were amazing. OH well, still looking.

    Wow cool find
    I have only run across a stash like that once in my life..and the guy said..nope, i aint sellin none of it.
    was up in mid michigan buying a pick up truck cap off the guy.
    a 3 car garage stacked to the rafters , wall to wall..couldnt even get 4" inside the dam door!
    Heck i even told the guy i wouldnt talk him down on nothing , would give him what ever he asked for some of the parts i could see.
    Nope ..was the answer.

    ...Well hell, arent you the lucky one...I doubt we will here from you for some time. I would be in that barn untill I opened every box and looked in every crevice. There is no way I could leave empty handed the first day.

    What an awsome site to see, and better to get to go through. I saw intakes,heads,rims,etc just from the pics. I am curious as to how this came about, and if it is all hers for the taking. If so, I would keep hush hush about it, until I got everything stashed elsewhere...I would be snapping pics left and right as well, and would be cleaning out my garage for all that stuff. Dont look like there will be very much left behind...

    We will all be here waiting for updates. Glad to see someone who cares and has interest, came across this lovely stash of goodies. Looks like some some valuable and rare stuff in there. I think you have been blessed by the speed gods. I am still waiting for my blessing...

    Damn, Star! You move to Wisconsin and instantly turn into a hoarder! Did you buy this lot, or is someone just letting you pick through it? Either way, good deal. Keep posting pics from your archeological dig! See you on Saturday

  29. Maybe :rolleyes: Silly Boys...

    Private property and gun hoarding (not just parts) WI guys.... It's all getting cleared out before someone gives them a chance to cure that itchy trigger finger!!

    Would it have a mounting bracket if it were off a machine??

    Let's just say I get first dibs, and the rest.... Well, PM me... ;)
