Okay, now what?
This poor orphan was offered up to me, so I couldn’t pass it up right? I saved it from certain doom at the landfill.
Now the big decision, part it out, or submit to a very long and expensive attempt to re-do it. I say re-do because I don’t think I could ever “restore” something like this. I have no doubt I could get the mechanicals and steel parts back to par, but my woodworking skills are not a 1/1000 of my Dads. I wish I would have paid more attention Dad. Still, I would have hated to see this destroyed any more than time has done to it already. The engine is a later flathead, oh, and I even got a spare engine in the back! Most of the metal parts appear to be with it, although a couple brackets broken from heavy snow load. Too bad it was stored outside for so long. Pics to come, not loading now for some reason. |
