I am happy to report that my parking spot (next to the dumpster) was empty. Somebody's busted workboat was parked in from of the shop doors though. Typical Monday morning.
Was the Plunkett the small engine that came from a meat processing shop in Loveville? If that's the one, it brought probably the most of any of the stationary engines there. I don't remember the final price but it was around $2000?... most of the engines sold for $100s. Heck, the Palmer I wanted but missed getting my hand in the air in time, went for $20.
Did you get your picture taken with a plaque, to put up on the fridge?
We stopped doing that when Gilligan's Polaroid Instamatic died.
I popped the hood on that and it it looked pretty clean ...360 I assumed it is. I thought I'd hang around and see what the F-350 diesel truck went for, but was unable to be two places at once. Danged three-ring circus they had going there...I needed a bidding partner.
that's it.. thought it would sale high. heard the grandson of the original builder came to buy it
has a rebuilt 1967 390.. the diesel 350 sold for around 1,000
Nice! Wish I'd been able to bid on the diesel...between my brother and I we already have three of those older 7.3 IDI trucks..
What no Sheppard diesel Tractors?
That Palmer with a strait pipe and Lake injection, would be the Shizzle in a Jersey Skiff
NO... another year without christmas, but ben got half a fordson. so, there's that
I'm surprised he didn't get the front end loader that came off that WD. Saw it mashed up in the scrap pile yesterday along with a few other tractors from down that end of the line. My boys bought the Major, MC Crawler and half an 8N.
he approached the guy who bought the loader, but guy didn't want to sell
