| I recently found a new era rope maker in a shed on my new farm and was very excited as I always wanted one but they were too expensive when I did find one, this one is missing the rope wrench to make the rope and was wondering if any of you guys had one you would sell text me @ 573-five nine two-9205 and I can send you a pic of what they look like as I don't know how to post pics here anymore, thanks |

| I have the one my grandfather used to make rope with. The rope handle could be very easily made. If you will pm me your phone I will take a picture of it tomorrow morning and forward to you. They are fun to play with. |

Hey Dustin! They had one at the GOTO in West Allis last fall. It was fun to watch and the parents had their little girl doing all the work. It was pretty neat to watch. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

When I was out to Sheridan WY a couple years back we went and visited the AC Collector that is just outside of town. He had a rope maker and we made a rope. All he had was some, what looked like, blue plastic twine it looked. I think we did a three string rope. What we ended up with was like a lariot. You could hold it out ten feet and it wouldn't bend on it's own to touch the ground. It looped up real nice tho. It was fun as I had never seen rope made before! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |
