LH 1940-1953, Total Made 822 -
The cable hooks to the rear arms that raise and lower the rear Hammer grass cutter. The frame is all 4x4 angle with brackets to bolt to the trans/diff and front axle mount. The plow is an old 8 foot manual unit with a pin and rail to position left, right and straight ahead. The plow is off and old CJ3A. Give me a week or 2 and I'll give you basic drawings, materials, mounts and photos. I put it in a container in Va, since my driveway is 3/4 mile long I can now use my Scoopmobile here

If the motor or pivots bind it COULD back feed to the switch and over load the ground circuit. You can tell down at the switch connector on the column if it overheated there will be melting of the plastic. Paul. -
My Fergusen , angle frame, 1/4" plate with a pully and the cable is driven off the rear pto. Worked since it was added in 1951. http://

See less is just a myth. If you used the 15th piece of bacon and arranged it to slightly be lower than the rest, than the little bit, the part that's lower holds the all fat and the calories. Took me years to learn that. Same as eating perogies, it you don't eat the last mouth full, you don't get the bad calories or unhealthy things in the food. THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it.

The full list isn't out yet they told me. There are closer to 800 vehicles including Studebaker Brothers Conestoga wagons and buggies and a MACK Brothers haul wagon from the 1890's. Here is their blurb on whats there and why. The Ron Hackenberger Collection Auction “A Candy Store of Rare, Unique, Micro, Orphan, & Amazing Cars & Trucks” The Ron Hackenberger Collection Auction A Candy Store of Rare, Unique, Micro, Orphan, & Amazing Cars & Trucks For many guys, who just want one classic car in their garage to work with, one is enough. But for Ron Hackenberger, cars to him were like being a kid in a candy store and he just couldn’t settle for one. For Ron, it all started with a 1948 Studebaker when he was 15 years old. He had the chance to buy his first car, a Studebaker that represented a beautiful automotive masterpiece. Ron went and borrowed the money to buy the car from his Grampa and bought that 1948 Studebaker that fueled his sweet tooth for collector cars and started his collection. That Studebaker opened the door to trading up through the years, even up to a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk. Ron married Eunice and they started their life together, and their love of collecting cars, in 1962. The family grew quickly to include six daughters. Ron was a truck driver and started his own trucking company, building it up to 100 Trucks and Trailers. Ron hauled everything and while he was on his adventures hauling, he would spot cars to bring back home to his collection. Quite often he would take a car hauler and go to the west coast and come back with a load of cars. The miles were packing on and he sold the trucking company to go on another adventure. Ron, Eunice and the girls all moved to Texas and bought a ranch and raised cattle, all the while still collecting cars. Soon he was ready for another change and sold the ranch, lock, stock and cattle, and moved back to Norwalk, Ohio. He bought some properties and well, like everyone in 2008, some of his investments took a hit with the recession. Ron worked with the banks and kept his car collection together as it had grown significantly in the past years. Ron started another adventure, this time a campground and a catering service that their daughter continues to run with them. With the success of his real estate and businesses, he was able to buy cars as he would come across them. Ron would buy cars that were unique, unusual, rare, and “something that you won’t see every day”. His collection has now grown to Approx. 700 to 800 vehicles. The Studebakers are still in the collection - almost 250 of them! Trucks, Pickups, Champions, Commanders, Avanti’s, and even A Darrin Roadster Project. The collection also hosted 8 & 6 door Checker limos, Divco Milk Trucks, Ramblers, AMC, many Chrysler and Packard cars, and so many more. The collection isn’t limited to Studebakers, though, and a collection of Micro cars from BMW Izetta’s, Citroens, Crossley’s, King Midgets, a Rare Tatra, Borward, Fiats, showcase Ron's love of the unusual. There are early Hondas, Jaguars, Porsche and so much more. There is even a space-age looking car that looks like Evil Knievel would take it over the Snake River Canyon, and knowing Ron, maybe it was! There are many cars and trucks that will be sought after by Rat Rodders, customizers, and more. There is an assortment of Henry J’s, Desoto, Plymouth, and even COE Trucks. For the muscle guys and gals in the crowd, Ron boasts of a '65 Mustang, a '66 Dodge Charger, a '67 Plymouth Barracuda and a '57 Chevy thrown in for good measure. The collection isn’t limited to Cars and Trucks. There are John Deere and International tractors and a host of rare Studebaker buggies and wooden wagons. Ron liked everything with wheels and even has a 1947 Indian Chief "Roadmaster" motorcycle complete with sidecar, and a 1949 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Keeping true to the roots that helped build his great collection, he even has a '75 Dodge Big Horn diesel rig for sale!< br> Ron was going to restore many of them and then realized he didn’t have enough time to get them all done. Then there was the idea of a museum and he came to the realization that wouldn't fly. He decided to turn them back into the wild and let other collectors, rodders, customizers, and hobbyists enjoy his vast collection. The Hackenbergers are going to have one big weekend with a celebration of his collection and everything will be sold NO RESERVE over the weekend of July 14th-16th, 2017. The auction is open to anyone that loves old cars and trucks and wants to give the Hackenbergers Treasures a good home. There is defiantly something for everyone! Ron and Eunice have contracted with JF Marketing/Auction & Real Estate Services in Ohio and VanDerBrink Auctions, LLC, of Minnesota, who specializes in collector cars and parts, to sell their vast collection. When John called Yvette to come out to Ohio, they walked into just the first of the three major buildings housing the best of the collection, and you could hardly walk through the cars. They are packed door to door and end to end. The cars are originals, restored, projects, and some for parts. It is absolutely amazing. A catalog will be coming with complete details, pictures, and more. The Hackenbergers have been working to title the vehicles and get ready for the sale. It’s going to be wild and you won’t want to miss this auction. The auction will be held onsite and online and bidders across the world will have a chance to bid and buy a part of the “virtual car Candy Store”. “It just takes your breath away. There are so many, and all bought by one guy! It’s amazing!”, says Yvette VanDerBrink. “If you are a car and truck lover, you won’t want to miss this auction. You will want to be here in Ohio in July. “It is amazing, I’ve never seen so many different cars.” says, John Froelich of JF Marketing/Auction & Real Estate Services. So, mark your schedule and plan to be in Ohio the weekend of July 14, 15, & 16th, 2017. Gates open at 7am each day and the auction action will begin at 9am in Norwalk, Ohio for the Hackenberger Collection, one of the biggest private owned collections of rare, unique, original, and well, just amazing car collections around. You will be a kid in a candy store yourself! You won’t want to miss this collection!

Never thought of that! They have some Henry J's and a few Bantam Coupes. Most was inside from the info and luckily the owner and his wife are selling off what they've saved over the past 50 years. We already got reservation for the 14th to the 18th

700 plus in Ohio. Some good stuff including a lot of Farm Tractors, Stude Trucks and a pre 1919 AC and at least 2 B models. I'm going for a few potential drag car projects. http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details.php?detail=205 http://

I've been known to do such things in the past. Went to the deli and came home 5 hours later with a AC 6 crane carrier, didn't go over well for some reason That stinks. I N.Y. and Virginia any pre 1974 is a tracing of the VIN tag,a bill of sale and you get a 6 month non transferable registration/ title. If nothing shows up you get a transferable registration or title. Paul

“We are a nation of immigrants.” The statement conflates descendants of immigrants with their parents. People who are born here are not immigrants. Calling them such prioritizes the country of their parents, not our country. The statement also disregards those of us whose ancestors did not immigrate to this country, but rather, migrated to it like most all of the first settlers. Migrants brings their culture to the new land and reseed it there. That is what my English and German ancestors did. Immigrants assimilate into its already created culture. In short, we are, or at least used to be, a country of Americans, most by birth, some – a minority – by choice, and all by great good luck.

Who was talking about high dollar Bronco's?????
41chevy replied to Outbehindthebarn's topic in Trucks for Sale
Mere bag of shells this is a 179,000.00 turd Bronco. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/ford/bronco/1851449.html -
Given the age of it, getting a title should not be a big issue. Looks to have all the hard to find stuff intact. Lucky for me it is 3000 miles away. Paul

Weren't Perkins and Gardner Diesels still pretty dominant in the late 60's too? -

AND try not to use either, WD -40 works well in lieu of starter fluid. Paul -
Gone in 360 seconds: Criminals use a stolen HGV to drive off with £3m in engines from the Land Rover plant in Birmingham in an audacious film-style heist A suspected stolen HGV lorry was used to steal the car parts in just minutes Understood the audacious heist took place in full view of security cameras Police are hunting the gang behind the theft which insiders at the Birmingham plant say has left management and staff 'stunned' By Matt Hunter For Mailonline Published: 16:18 EST, 3 February 2017 | Updated: 09:25 EST, 4 February 2017 Jaguar Land Rover has offered a reward after engines reportedly worth £3 million were stolen from a factory. A suspected stolen HGV lorry was used to steal the car parts in just a few minutes on Tuesday night. It is understood the audacious heist took place in full view of security cameras. A suspected stolen HGV lorry was used to steal the car parts in just 6 minutes on Tuesday. The thieves returned and stole a second trailer of engines 2 hours later. Police are now hunting the gang behind the theft which insiders say has left management and staff 'stunned'. JLR is also offering a 'substantial reward'. A JLR spokesman said: 'We can confirm that we are working closely with West Midlands Police to investigate the theft of engines from the Solihull manufacturing plant. 'A reward is on offer to anyone who has information which leads to the successful recovery of these engines. 'It would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment whilst this investigation is ongoing.' Insiders say the stolen 40 tonne lorry arrived at the Solihull Lode Lane depot at 10.30pm on Tuesday and entered through a security-manned gate. Police are now hunting the gang behind the theft which insiders say has left management and staff 'stunned' The HGV then drove to the Lagoons depot and hooked up to a trailer containing the car engines, before driving out. Sources claim the criminals obtained paperwork from the site before leaving which made their escape easier. The stolen lorry is believed to have unloaded in the Coventry area. And the same lorry is believed to have returned to the factory a couple of hours later before hooking up another trailer and driving off with more car engines. A source said: 'They just hooked up the trailers. They were in and out in just six minutes with the first theft. The whole place is in uproar about it.' West Midlands Police said it was believed the engines were stolen from the sprawling industrial site some time between the night of January 31 and the early hours the following morning. The empty stolen trailers have since been located and seized by officers, the force added.
