Cleaning up a section of the steel building I came across some really old stuff in box's, with prices on them. Check out the cost of the 2" long rivets vs the 3/4" long ones. Cobb & Drew Inc was established in 1848 and incorporated in 1907. Would be interesting to know what year these were sold...

Found these 2 today. The commercial is in really fine shape, the industrial needs some TLC.

The Walker floor jack along with another tool that was on the 50 gallon drum, no idea what its for.

Some nice craftsman finds today, a vintage Atlas Workshop 4" jointer/planer and Walker hydraulic floor jack. Rocco had the commercial grinder along with the Atlas and a 1/2 hp motor mounted to a 50 gallon drum which is pretty unique. Not sure whats in the drum but its heavy. The motor did not...

This Power Smith ash vacuum kicks ash, no pun intended. Very easy to use and no mess.

I yanked some of the front clip and engine from my '72 C10. It's getting some upgrades and some much needed engine bay cleaning. :thumbup:

Hey Woody we could use that Yale lifting chain along with this Manning, Maxwell and Moore "A" frame to take that big block 396 out of your '70 Chevy stationwagon!:beer:

Nice info Woody! I just happened to have found a WM Johnson Co compass in the pile!:thumbup:

Very cool Pro!

Here is an example of some items that are still on the farm and they will definetly not get scrapped. Still alot of cool stuff to go thru, thats for sure. Those V-plows are HUGE along with the big-arsed grinder. I'm lucky to have a loader and skid steer available. I will focus all future posts...

Road-graders-R-us! He had a total of 5. His wife told me she was sitting in a chair and heard a loud rumbling getting closer, looked out the window and it was Rocco coming down the road in a newly purchased road grader. I wish I would have done more research on the Oshkosh. I sold it to a...

These are some of the large machinery and autos that were on the farm, most I sold to people who were going to restore them, and some were scrapped. The jeeps were both used at one time by Rocco for his snowplow business. The old rolling fire extinguisher was sold to a fireman who was going to...

The rock tribute is actually for Rocco's son who passed in 2006.

Ford fountain?? Thats blasphemy Drives! Its a '53 3800 Chevy. Its been back in the weeds for years; had a dump on the back full of coal! Rocco actually used coal in his fireplace because it burned so hot, and he probably got it free. From the front part of the cab back it was a basket case...

Thanks for the opinions, I will follow them going forward. Lugz, I sent your "Rust Never Sleeps" to Rocco's wife and kids, it really hit the nail on the head as far as his lifestyle, they really enjoyed it!

Going to start this thread showing my father in laws stuff that he picked over the last 40-50 years and stashed away on his 100 acre farm. He passed a year and a half ago at age 82 and his sons moved away and are not interested in any of it so I'm blessed (or cursed) with going thru all of it...

My father in law had his own sawmill so it makes sense that he would own a tool like this. Thanks Woody!
