Rocco's daily treasures

[C1070RS]

Vintage Gorman-Rupp centrifrugal pump; I believe it was used as a garbage pump? There were quite a few large diameter hoses in the area that I found it.

Vintage planter; can't quite make out the brand name but it's green and a "something"- BOY. It still works! Will have to research what time period.

Can anyone tell me who the maker is of the vintage planter? xxxxx-BOY

8" clevis with a cool aluminum pin.

Great States reel mower

Lead bar made by W.A.P. Co. of Elyria Ohio. Couldn't find any info on the company but the bar is in perfect condition.

Rocco's C.O. Porter planer/jointer, 7 foot long. He used this to make the oak floor in our family room. Had it stashed away in the steel building. Was pretty rusty but the cutting wheel turned. Sold it locally so it will be restored by someone who loves woodworking.

The planter is a 1940's Dandy Boy

Found this old dump cart with wooden wheels in the weeds today. Unfortunately one of the wheels was missing the wooden inner. Heavy duty rear end construction.

 

[why worry]

The bearing bar is most likely babbit not lead. old engines didn't have replaceable bearing shells on the crank and rods they were poured and scraped to fit. Makes for a cool paper weight and conversation piece.

Finally yanked this propane powered Continental Red Seal V8 generator out of the steel building; my 50hp tractor was working hard thats for sure. When Rocco was alive he had me come over once to help out and we almost got it to start. I'd like to sell this to someone who will properly restore it. I'd appreciate any tips as to where I should advertise this and any ideas of what it may be worth. I'm not out to make a killing, just want it to go to someone who loves to tinker.

Not sure where he picked this up and where it was originally used, but would love to know the history.

The engine is a V603 1001 SPEC 2201, engine tag pic is attached, along with the generator nameplates, propane carb and starter tags.

Did you get it running?

No, no time with everything else going on on the property. I don't want to scrap this. I need someone to step up and buy it or point me to a group that would be interested in restoring it.
