Keep your eyes open for these things. I know you will know where one is or see one in your travels. I'd love to have a few of them but they are hard to find in good shape.

I just restored an all metal one and would like to find a few more:p They come in a few different configurations as well

.....do you realize how long its going to take Cody to till your track with that old thing. I guess it will get him in great shape.

I've seen a bunch of those over the years around here Ken. I'll keep my eyes open for them again. Good ole Pennsylvania farm country!

those are actually fairly common around here, i believe there are a couple down by the old farm field behind our track, i'll take a look next time i'm down there and if they are still there then we can set something up for you to pick them up at an neatv race

I appreciate it

here is the one i just finished. i have no clue how old it is, it was my wifes grandfathers and if im not mistaken it was old when he got it:p

i had to fab a new axle and cross brace because they were shot. it could be used again but i think it will end up as a flower garden ornament

Pappy, I was working in this one house, and in this one room they had a huge stone wall that went up to the ceiling. They had a bunch of real real realll old logging tools and a few farming tools. Real neat looking.

I recently restored a older Stanley hand plane.

I'd choose it over 500+dollar machines. :p

I picked up this bad boy off of Ebay a few weeks ago

I plan on making new handles and shining her up, flatting the sole and sharpen the blade. Beats a 400 dollar jointer.:p It has patent date of April 2. 1895

My wife has one of these she put in one of the flower beds and i got tired of looking at it over the winter and stuck it in the shed. I'll try to get a pic for you.
