I'll double your money and give you $2 for it. Maybe even through in 50 cents for picking it up.

I got a little more than that in it,but luckily it's all in parts trading. Come to find out,this came off a '76 R600 the guy is fixing up and I just happened to have a few things he was needing. Going to work out good for both of us.

If you came up and picked it up today you could have swung by and helped wash hoppers. Pizza was provided and the conversation is usually pretty interesting.

That was the original plan,but ended up I had to work this a.m. I coulda brought my hopper,too had I known you were having a wash party,it sure needs it,but been too damn cold for this old man to do it.

Party is a bit of an over statement. We washed 6 out of 7 hoppers and the tractors hooked to them. The 7th didn't get done cuz it hadn't been on the road since it's last bath. Even got a tractor and a flatbed thru. Arms are tired and the feet are wet.

Just got back from the WI with this load of goodies.

Nice saddle tanks. I've got half of my two about ready for paint...still have to drain the 50G left hand one. It doesn't leak so I just need to blast and prep for paint with a few small tasks to make sure it stays leak free...the top plate harbors crud and causes rust. Need to grind the welds off and clean that out, rust proof and reinstall.

Love the sleeper too...

Glad you were able to pick the stuff up,Mike. I worked from 5am-7pm yesterday. Good thing you picked it up,though. I would have called and said,"sorry, it just fell off my flatbed"!

If it weren't for the fact this guy was true to his word,I wouldn't have gotten it. Yesterday afternoon he called me and told me another guy(ATHS member and collector of Hendricksons) kept calling and pestering him to sell it told him he was in the area now and had cash. Even after explaining that he wasn't going to back out of our deal,the guy kept calling and even offered more money. I guess it kinda made him mad when he told the guy he was more interested in trading with me for parts than he was in the guys cash.

You can put this guy on your good people to buy from list.
