A long "day" well spent....

[rokon2813 272]

buying treasures, swapping stories, and enjoying company, although the heat beat us both terribly.I hope Rod had as good a time as I did, heat and sweat not withstanding...Left my house around 5 pm Friday and returned about 11 pm on Saturday about 1000 miles later.

Looks look a big pile glad you had fun.

Is Rod also a club member?

Looks like a good load! What's that "Thunder Foot" 725?

[B-16_IC 1,029]

100! Yuck! This fat boy can't take the heat too much but involve tractors and good company I'll survive.

That is one fine load, lots of good items!

[GregB 941]

Dan,

That's pretty far south for someone who almost lives in Canada }}:)

Rod cleaning house ?

I have started "cleaning" but just scrap and the like.

Still have to many tractor projects to finish.

Thunderfoot was Rod's pulling tractor. Looks like he thinned the herd quite a bit.

id="quote">Thunderfoot is a Montgomery Wards Squire running a 14 hp Kohler.From what I understand it has been competitive for nearly 30 years and I think if Rod set it up it still would be.

id="quote">For all those concerned. Rod is fine, just moving soon and can't take it all with him.Greg, normally it might be a bit far, but right place right time I guess.I think we came to an agreement that made us both happy, with a side benefit of making my wife happy.I dropped her off at her friends' in Shamokin Dam and continued on alone. Picked her up on the way back, so she had a day away out of the deal too.

You were in my neck of the woods. Did you use rt 95 or rt 301? I've been to Rods' several times. He is always there to lend a hand. JH

HOLY SMOKES! What a HAUL!

[PhanDad 3,616]

Another big load, more stuff than the last one you posted about. It should keep you busy sorting it out.

Hopefully there will continue to be some young folks that keep up Rod's traditions and knowledge sharing.

id="quote">I considered briefly stopping to see you, just because of some of the stuff you had listed for sale.Lack of space, lack of funds, and you are on the wrong side of the water made that decision for me.

[johnmonkey 4]

Rt 301 isn't too bad once you get south of Waldorf, Md.

[yukon 331]

I think the correct blue rims are on the 112. Need to go through the shift linkage, it creeps in neutral (hydro)It's a 716H with 10 hp briggs engine, modified slightly. Has a 3 bolt carb. Low mount starter generator, and decompression bump on the cam so it turns hard.Hydro lift is a powermax valve with float in the forward position and Sunstar cylinder.

This "might" be a little overkill for my current needs but......

2002 2500HD 9200 gvw Silverado, Alison trans, 8.1L, 3.73 gears, Class 4 2" receiver. Just turned 90,000 miles. Rated for 2200 lbs of Payload in the 6.5" bed. Just the thing for bringing home a pallet of Fuel bricks or pellets without hooking up the trailer.

[rokon2813 272]

Yep, just needs a longer box for me.....

[OldFarmTractor 5]

Wish someone would come and pick up a load like this at my place in northern Illinois.
