Grant Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes, this is the proverbial barn find. No I don't get to keep the barn, but surely there must be something in there we can use! -grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian.pierson Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Man, it looks like a whole setup for a line shaft workshop. Am I seeing the hit and miss engine also? That would be a great find if you can get it all. Right out of a museum or living history site. Good luck, Brian Pierson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Awesome! I actually dream about finding something like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 That is a hit and miss, well, I think it is really a throttle governed engine. Looks like a Mcormick "M" engine around 3-6 HP. I'd love to find a barn like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It would all go great in my shop or the museum shop I am building. It is built out of an old barn so all the stuff should feel at home. I like the grinder and belt motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 My thanks to all for the offer of storage space; I was sure I could count on you. Here are some pictures, a little further in. -grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkrankow Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Looks like a small pile of wet-exhaust hose, or large heater hose. Lots of good stuff in addition to the obvious! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Good Morning All Again, thank you for all the encouragement. These picks will show I didn't completely abandoned the site; walking off down the road chasing a lame turkey. We were a little down on lifting power, but when one is on the scrounge, one takes what one gets. Yes, I am very fortunate and need to repay the cosmos. -grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Grant, you done good, son. Thanks for sharing the pics and the progress on getting the stuff out of there. It keeps us hoping that we will someday find a barn like that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian.pierson Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Did you get the engine to run the whole kit and kaboodle? I hope so, even if you don't use it right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
