Excellent pick up. Gotta love KurbMart deals like that. I may have scored an item or two……
Can you tell how old it is via the info plate on the deck?

I can’t and didn’t think it would be worth my time to try to figure it. Now if it had been a Honda I would have tried.

First time finding anything worthwhile in the road.
Complete Husky 3/8” drive metric/SAE socket/ratchet set. Was laying on the shoulder.
Looks like it slid a bit across the roadway before getting to the berm.

Last mower I had was a road find. I left it at the old house for the landlord to use still running fine.

I like your music taste, are those sealed 8-tracks?!

That socket set is a “you ****” find btw.

Not a tool, but about 15 days ago I found a new, apparently unused and unmarked Harbor Freight bucket. I guess it flew out of the bed of a pickup truck. And coming back from New Orleans yesterday I saw two, possibly 3, at various places alongside the road. Are HF five-gallon pails lighter than normal and thus more prone to flying out of truck beds?

Those are the prescient ones, escaping their ****** future?
Certainly do, any markings?

If you zoom in towards right of the pivot bolt you’ll see the Klein logo

Might be 2020 based on the serial number?
It's a Briggs engine, so there are undoubtedly numbers stamped on the engine (usually the valve cover) that can be used to nail down its build date.

Hard rubbish collection was our suburb last week. Acquired this drill press as I was about to go for a bike ride, it was sitting across from my driveway. Seems to run well enough, but probably needs a bearing replaced somewhere because of the noise. Not going to replace my floor standing press, but I'll put it to work somewhere.

Not my favorite tool I have found, but probably the largest!

Passed on some rubber tarp straps yesterday as it was unsafe to stop. Really don't need them anyway, was more about getting the S hooks out of the travel lane. I use that road frequently and don't need one through my tire.
Haven't seen anything real good lately, but I keep my eyes peeled!

Very handy tool for locating buried utilities--water, sewer, electrical, fiber optics, etc. You'll know when you've hit them.

I seem to be on a tool finding streak lately.
On a walk this morning, I found the above which had obviously been run over.
Contained 3 Stihl 5/32 chainsaw files and 2 3/16 files.
After a little time on the wire wheel.

Mrs Fourjeepin spotted this one today a couple of blocks from home. The knobs are sun baked and the back cover is missing a couple of bolts and the gas line isn’t bolted to the side but it is otherwise in very, very good condition.
I think I will fix it up and send my current grill (also a road find) to a new home.
