Pickin’

[Pullstart 68,772]

Grabbed a few items on a pick yesterday.  I was called out to plow, and it turned into a free score!  The house was being sold on Friday.  If I saw something I wanted, take it.  Two loads hauled in the pickup, and one in the trailer.  Jada and Mrs. P went picking in the house too.  Cool stuff!

Looks like it is just missing the tank ...  no cut hood. 

You get the the milling machine turn thingy??

That milling plate was insane heavy.  I couldn’t budge it!

  Is that a Briggs 23, 19 or 14?

[JoeM 9,575]

It's amazing how much stuff is cool and good on those finds. 

Most just don't want to deal with it. 

Nice to see it go some where instead of being scrapped. 

 

Portrait of uncle Jim?

I’m not positive, but that’s the main reason I grabbed it!

[Pullstart 68,772]

The Honda 250 is a ‘91 XR250L.  I dropped it off with my old neighbor who’s been tinkering with it.  I tried giving it to him, but like Uncle Jim he says no thanks I’m full.  He has spark, all the lights work, and is working on making it make noise.  He said he wants to get it running, then give it back to me

Then sell it to me...

All I can say is WOW!!

That compound sine plate could be worth plenty if the rust can be removed without too much damage.

So you go to the gym and lift weights ... well what good is that on a pick ... 

 

I really hate picks like this .... reminds me of picking at plow field sheds and what went in the scrap heap and dumpster...

Prolly not Ollie seeing that iv bottle on it but still worth saving. They are just such cool tractors. I been eyeballing this one on MP but a little $1200 rich for my blood. Surely worth that tho. What's worse is real local to Dan and I.
