Title: Good Junk
Post by: Reeves on June 21, 2010, 03:36:24 PM
Company I work for was hired to clean up an acreage. Found an old plow and asked if it was OK to take home. He didn't care, as his plans are to flip the property as soon as it was fixed up some. (sitting in the back of my old 86 "farm truck")
Better saved than end up buried in a pit, eh !

Last year same thing happened. Not sure if I posted pictures of it ?

Note the old Coyote and Deer skulls, sitting on a petrified rock ?

I'm going to build a landscape area for the plow.....

Any brand name on that plow?  Send it to me COD.   ^-^  I just bought another set of 2-bottom Fergusons the other day. Now I have 3 sets of plows......wife is not impressed,  plh1 , but I plan on selling one of them.  I also drug in a 1950's John Deere 14T square baler....  :cool:

That pitcher pump is unique, looks to be HD (heavy duty).....or is it off of a wind mill?      c50

Never looked for a brand name....yet. I do know you would need horses to pull it. Handles long rotted off.

I was told the pump was in use inside the original house, which was torn down many, many years ago.
Water had been in it and when it froze it broke the pump at the bolts. I welded it back together & bolted it to the deck.

I'll put you in my will. That way the other half can send a truck load of "good junk" to you, COD  s020

It looks like the share is in good shape and the moldboard is nice and thick?  The handles can be replaced.  Go ahead and ship it out!   :wink:

I'll have to get and post a pic of the horse drawn plow that I have found. I think it is an Oliver?  I will have to check................

Those are symbols of when Americans would work and didn't run around with their hands out............. s20

I had a look at it today. Only markings of any kind are on the bracket for the right handle. A part number.

Very nice antiques Reeves, I love the petrified rock the best! Where did you find an awesome chunk like that?
