Projects Good stuff in the woods since the 1960's

Oliver...looks like Oliver Tractors Battle Creek Michigan...maybe outboard division only....maybe some oliver specific stuff there could be $$$

TAKE EVERYTHING ! So jealous...why do I even look

 

The AA truck 4-speeds are not for p***enger cars. All the old truck 4-speeds are granny boxes, stump-puller first gear and top speed of 35-50 MPH depending on rear end ratio and tire size.

 

man that olds(on its p***enger side) is a shame i bet that whole side is rotted beyond help ive allways liked the oldsmobiles from 55-57

 

They didn't trade much in did they? Looks like they ran the **** out of 'em.

Those tractor steering wheels are good to put on a bead roller. If there is a loose one about.

 

Are there any gas pumps in the mix? I'm interested if so. Thanks

 

good score congrats man ! let me know if ya need help haulin anything out , i just love seeing old stuff like that !

 

That will be a whole summer job digging it all out. Instead of killing yourself trying to get it all yourself, you ought to concentrate on getting out what you want personally. Then see if you can find new owners for the rest and let them dig 'em out.

 

Those accesory 'fins' on the shoebox are pretty funky!

 

Nice. Not only will you get the cars, but you won't need firewood for ten years!!

 

"All of these treasures are mine for the picking."

I just Juana make sure that means fo free because in a later reply you made it sound like you might have to pay.

 

Thanks, I'll keeep it in mind.

10-4. Last time I was there I some of that home with me...Free of charge.

The only one I saw is in post #22

I'm not sure how the owner is with new people? I'm in there by luck I guess. My Dad went to shcool with the guy 30 years ago and then metagain at an auction earlier this summer. I'll get what I want, Then we'llsee about the rest.

I liked those too. There sure seems to ba alot of extra chrome on it for a
more-door. I'm curious to get under the hood.........

My bad, I have to pay, its not free.

Thanks for all the intrest guys & gals.

Jeff, HELLACIOUS find, man! We'd ALL love to have a find like that (AND a cool owner, too!). BUT, I for one am glad for your good luck,, buddy!

 

If you intend to pull out whole cars, go out now and jack them up out of the dirt and rest them on some lumber(2x4's, whatever). That way they will freeze to the wood instead of the ground and you can remove them anytime all winter. Good luck, Mike

 

Good thinkin. Maybe I can make a sort of sled and pull them out a little
eaiser in the snow????? We'll see.

Jeff

 

Need a hand some week-end? I'm about an hour and a half way. Way ta save the tin!

 

Looks like the '48 Ford has some useable parts on it. Very cool.

 

I plan on getting the pedals, sterring, and front end for sure. They'll go nicely in the garage.

Jeff

 

Thanks for the offer.

I've known a few guys that have been in Anamosa for a few years, but they didn't get out much

 

Nice find, hell i'd be happy with one of those tractors, anything else would be frosting on the cake.

 

screw the snow sled idea a old hood works great for sliding stuff around! cool find! these kinds of adventures really rock. the mopar is a 37', split rear window and lights mounted on grille shell.

 

no wonder i haven't heard back from you!! lol!! hit me up as soo as you knock the spider webs off and have a moment!!

 

So hard to believe all that is still there and all in one place !!!
Good score. Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

I would buy that blueish chevy truck cab from you. man some guys have all the luck.

 

Er....you are going to need help....preferably someone that has a rollback.

 

Well, just wanted to update everyone that cares.

The owner has been busy over the summer and the bulk of the good stuff is gone.
46-48 Tudor Gone
55 Olds Gone
38 ish plymoth gone
50's F600 Gone

He and his wife took a load every weekend to s**** over the summer.

I' had planned 4-5 trips over the summer but found reasons to be lazy.
Sorry to everyone that wanted/needed parts. I accept all responibility for being lazy.

Just for funn here are pics things that are gone forever.... Soon to be part of that
new from China Wal-Mart tool you will be getting for Christmas!~

Jeff

 

taking those cars in for s**** is like tossing 20 dollar bills out the window.

 

So, if I read this right: You got a great find of vintage tin. All you could haul out, gratis, but the guy wanted his place cleaned up. You kept it to yourself, but never got the ambition to actually go get anything - DESPITE having offers of help from here on the HAMB. Now the best stuff is crushed, and you're reminding us of it. Jeez - ****in' congratulations.

 

Yea that's pretty much it.
Accept I did have to pay for what I took.

Glad I could make you smile today

Jeff

 

I wish I had that kinda luck.

 

You are a lucky duck! Merry Xmas to you huh??!!!

Here is the plan. I'm gonna make you rich if you follow these simple steps:
Recover the vehicles
Rent an old splintery barn or garage overloaded with useless ****
One at a time put the recovered vehicles in said barn/garage
Take some pics, drag it out, then sell them for 3x what you could have just drug out of the woods.

You owe me, Amigo!
