Machineguy 876 #3 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Glad it wasn’t ground up into scrap. I’d rather put it in a landscaping bed and just look at rather than know it was turned into a toaster or a Prius Edited August 9, 2018 by Machineguy 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Gman 476 #4 Posted August 9, 2018 Looks like a diamond in the rough to me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,545 #5 Posted August 9, 2018 Looks like what I usually start with when I do a resto. Could be a fun project. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #6 Posted August 9, 2018 Nice! Regardless of what you decide to do with it... sometimes you just gotta grab it because at minimum you can get some salvage parts and/or landscape decoration out of it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #8 Posted August 10, 2018 I feel the same when I saved the 312-8 I just picked up. He was going to scrap it. He said it doesn't work anymore and was not needed cause he just bought a new o- turn. And oh by the way yes it does run now!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Buck 246 #10 Posted August 10, 2018 Those are few and far between in my area. I drug one home that has to be at least that bad if not worse that I intend to resto some day. I look at that one as a future resto, certainly not one to rust away as lawn art. Mine rests gathering dust in the shed until the time I am able resurrect her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
