'round the pot-bellied stove / Stuff I forgot I owned.
« on: December 22, 2007, 07:10:25 PM »
Was cleaning and sorting some of the stuff in an old building on the farm today. The coons invaded it last summer and damaged the roof so I am moving the more valuable stuff to a newer shed. Funny how a person forgets what they own after a few years. I found these old oil cans. One a Buffalo separator oil can, made in Canada. The other is a Gargoyle mobiloil can in pretty fair shape for its age. Label on the side states it is specially for Ford cars. Plus a few good condition Gulf oil quart cans. Definitely worth saving I'd say. :)

'round the pot-bellied stove / Steam Engines

Not the kind you might be thinking of. How many of you have one of these old (econolite) lamps in working condition? I recently got mine out of storage and it works great. They sell for good money on ebay. The steam locomotives are the "General" and "John Bull".

A special forum just for "chewing the fat"? I thought we had one called the tractor list!:) Oh, maybe we wouldn't ruffle any feathers this way!:rolleyes:

I suspect that is exactly the intention John. Over on the red power forum where I spend a lot of time we have the "coffee shop" side for all manner of off topic postings and discussion. In fact I'd say its the busiest part of the whole forum. And your right, nobody can whine about off topic postings because nothing is off topic here. I have personally been involved in a thread that began over a year ago and its been great. Could happen here too. :)

Looks like a dandy sale Richard. Lots of unrestored old iron there. I've got a few auction sale pictures I might get around to posting one of these days.

Thanks to Spencer for adding this new discussion forum.

However, it seems that it is getting off to a slow start.  Not sure if there are already enough discussion forums out there that people don't feel a need to post to a new one.

Maybe everyone is just busy getting ready for Christmas :)


Yes, its a bit slow but people could be busy with other things too. Well we can always post a picture for discussion. Complain about the weather or whatever else comes to mind. Heres one from way back in 1970. New shed under construction as a winter project. Dad on one of his favourite jobs , pushing snow with the Cockshutt 50.

Great picture Ralph


Thanks Chuck, (and Bill). Its one of my favourites of  my Dad cutting firewood with the Cockshutt 40 powering the saw. I took it back in the early 80s. Dads gone and I don't burn firewood anymore so its nice to have the pictures to look back on. The 8800 in my handle is the actual serial number of that tractor.

Just testing if I can post an image here.
Wow, thats pretty big. Hope I am not hogging the space too much on the forum. Just let me know and I can remove it.
