Sunday i get dragged to my wifes family reunion. Its really not that bad but its out on a dairy farm. We get there and are told it will be about an hour before we eat and i am bored. I remembered they had a field filled with crap and ask if i can go look. Its been cleared out but still has a ton of stuff in it. There are a number of classic buses, a old dodge ram wagon(eat up with rust), Chrysler Newyorker thats all there except for floor pans (even has original Hemi and is for sale) and even a Jet engine out of a plane. Every step i took seemed to reveal more stuff hidden in the grass. Steel wheels out the ass and vintage parts and motors. All i had was a camera phone so i only got a few photos. The tractor grill is spoken for already, sorry. The best part is he told me to come out with my truck and trailor and load up as much as i can and haul it off for them. I am going out there later in the week to get some stuff but will be out there next week to load up the rest. I will take better pics and will probably sell some stuff or trade for stuff i need. Its amazing what youll find on a dairy farm.
He also has tractor trailers full of stuff, i didnt have time to look in those. And the busses are loaded down with parts also.
What shape's that Poppin' Johnny in? Early 40 series by any chance? I'm only three hours away if you need any help -- even got a trailer
He's talkin about the green John Deere tractor that the grille is leanin against. They are 2 cylinders and have a "pop" "pop" sound when running. Hence "poppin Johnny". Very cool to hear.
OHHHHHHHHH, us city boys dont know that. I will find out if its for sale, he said its a parts tractor so he might let it go.
that old power wagon out back sure has potential.several websites out there for those things.send more pics
