An Old Windup

[stoney56]

Did a bit of driving around the county Sunday-almost too dang cold to really detect for long 43* and 50 MPH winds. Brrr. Spotted this old crank start Cat Thirty (30 horsepower- ) sitting and rusting away.

Great pics. That would be a great fix up project. The last time I saw one like that was in a park that kids could play on. It's a shame that her legacy will be to rust away.

The gray thing behind is a sign post with the frame above that is rusted out. I think it used to be an ad for the dealship years ago.

That is a 'fix-up job' waiting for someone.

One nice cache and she's mine. Then I'll order a railroad car of WD-40. M.G.'s been wanting a nice yard ornament.

Yup that is an old-timer. It would be a shame to see it just sit and rust away. Lots of history in that machine.

Thanks for taking us along on your ride.

Shame its going rusty. Some tractor restorers would love to get their hands on that. I saw one time a TV programe about Tractor collectors, this guy had 20, all in perfect condition, some dated way back.

That sure looks restorable. I agree, shame to see it rot away.
