Wheel Horse Suburban Mail Box Post

[oliver2-44 8,835]

So I went to get a haircut this morning in the neighboring town of Kingsland.  Saw a few garage sale sign so I though I'd check them out.   The Garage Sales were a bust, but as I drove through the area, I spotted this 1960 Wheel Horse Suburban being used as a mail box post.    It was chained and locked to the T post and the front rims were sunk well into the dirt like it had been there quite a while.  I momentarily though about knockings on the door,  but the hood was cut, there was no motor and the transmission shifter rubber boot was long gone.  I say it's a 1960 as it had the treadplate foot rest.  It's probable best left for the yard art it's currently being used for.

Cool idea for a garden Art with functionality.

If she is stitting there for many years, she looks nice.  Have a Horse in worse condition, being kept primary in the garage for the most part of its live.
