    It seems we always have to wait for the ol guy to croak before it gets p***ed down. I'll probably be the same way ;)

  6. Good score Bob, with a little bit of elbow grease and some Gnome magic it'll be on the road in no time.

    Truth is, there's one just like that 100 ft from where I sit. IN town. Been there since 1970. And NOT FOR SALE.

    Way to go Bob!!!!

    I love it when we save the ole iron and bring it back to life.
    Can't help wonder about the history.
    Very Cool, Thanks for hanging in there to get it out of the dirt.
    I know a lot were made back then, makes you wonder how many are still around like that not founded and the ones that are found.
    I bet some people know about them but let them sit too.

    Great save

    Bob, you may look older than dirt, but with an at***ude like yours, nothing is impossible! However, just in case, don't forget the "cubic dollars" someone mentioned earlier as it can help immensely in the time frame of the build...

    Your brother in Geezerdom,
    John
