I know how Mike on that show A Pickers fells. I picked a old barn on a farm right next to the farm I was razed on. Hauled home a pickup load of AC parts like two belt pulleys,two WD45 CLYs a NOS pickup header for a 66 combine and a lot more cool AC stuff. I was up down and all around in that old barn pulling AC stuff out of there!!!!!! Here's a pic of the header and a can of paint.

Don,
With my luck when I find a honey hole it will be full of bees! Two years ago I was trimming a tree and didn’t see the nest, so you guessed it, to hear the word honey hole its flash backs all over again. LOL You do live in a great area for recovering Allis Chalmers parts, thanks for saving a few more pieces from china!

OK I'll try getting some pics of the rest of haul today, there was 12 or more corn planter plates, mower parts,WD front mount cultivator parts. I also found a jack for Dad's model T-T truck in the barn, that made him happy as a little kid with a new toy. lol
I have one more place to pick/look at after lunch. Then I'm going to pickup a post hole digger and a dirt scoop and maybe some more good stuff. It's looking like a good weekend for me! lmao

Rick, We might be using some of the plates to plant corn with this year, FYI it's getting to be time to start planting some corn now. hint hint
The funny thing about this pick was I played in this old barn as a kid and latter in life helped them farm so I knew the barn was full of stuff I was just weighting for the invite to look; the old farmer called Dad last week to see if that was something there I'd like to have before the barn came down and the stuff it went to china, well you know the rest of the story. lol

That's a great story,Don! It's funny how things end up later on in life! I bet as a kid you never really ever thought that you would be hauling these AC things off for yourself...did you? That's a great find like I said earlier. I'll be seeing you in two to three weeks,Don. I'll come look at those items first hand! LOL! Rick

That's what I was feeling about getting the stuff. We moved a lot of this same stuff out of the way to get tractors out or back in the old round top barn, if the old barn had not of started falling the stuff wood be still in there. There is a set of blower pipes still up in the top of the barn he will get them down for me latter after he gets some big stuff out of the way today so more to haul home too. lol
Don
Rick, I'm thinking we will start planting around the 4th or so of May. I'll call you about it tonight.

I would like to know if the Persian Orange Brushing Enamel in that can is PO1 or PO2. What ever it is, it probably settled out into pigment on the bottom and oil on the top by now. A few days on a paint shaker and it should be good as new.
It would be interesting to see how the color compares to the accepted restoration codes we use today.
BTW. Freezing and Thawing does not have any ill effect on a full can of oil base enamel.
If my memory is good I think I had a full quart of Corporate Orange with a similar lable. It's in Jim Danforths collection of goodies now.

If you come across any rear wheels for a '24 T_T, let me know- I've got a chassis back here that needs one wheel... after that, the engine/trans will get a rebuild, blast and paint the frame, go through the front and rearends, make it run, and then buy a wooden body... it was purchased as the second milk-transport truck for my farm... there's a wall of of FARM TRUCK liscense plates spanning 1919 through '60...

Ken, I don't know if this can has persian orange #1 or #2 in it. and I don't think I will open it up right now. I turned the can up side down two or three times and it felt like the paint is moving around like it's free in side there, So it might work like you said to put it on a paint shaker.
I'd trade the paint to someone for something. lol

Thanks for all the mail I got on the header pickup unit but the old farmer gave it to me and I just can't put it up for sale right now, sorry but thanks for asking.
If I do put it up for sale latter on I'll post it here first.
