stopped at one this afternoon on the way home from the MIL's, got this for 75 cents, marked down from $1.50! They had a AC/DC tombstone welder that I wanted, but somebody else beat me to it for $10! The people had no idea what either one was, just trying to clean up their late parents house. Sad to think, that's how my stuff will be one day!  ------------- Allis Express North Georgia 41 WC,48 UC Cane,7-G's, Ford 345C TLB |

You do NOT want to know what went to scrap from guy 3 doors down from me,especially if you're into late 50s- mid60s Ford cars.... ..sadly I'd already sold next door otherwise it'd all have come here. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Those were two bargains. I would have loved to have gotten that welder. Sadly that is probably what is going to happen to a lot of my “stuff” when I am no longer around. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

I am sorry to inform you all, but 99% of the people going to yard sales would not know what that timing light is. A tombstone welder, again 99% of the people would not know how to strike an arc or connect it in the first place. I am a probably a dinosaur, but it is the truth.

| My accountant will haul my carcass to the cemetery in my own pickup then drive to the scrap yard immediately after then hitch a ride home. My kids have the scrapper on speed dial |

The same here with me also. The kids don't know whether they are going to have an auction, dig a hole and bury it all, or just sell the whole place along with everything on it. One price takes it all. Bad part is I keep bringing more home all the time. I can't stay away from an auction! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??
