SCRAP! Ya I couldn't do that. I have a scrapper in the neighborhood that I've "saved" a few things from. 1960 Morris Minor and a mid teens Franklin frame that was used as a skid for a saw mill. I sold it all off except for a Walker "roll-a-car" jack that I think is pre 36.
The fella I sold the Morris to was going to paint his cabin address on it and stick it at the end of his driveway, pretty funny.
I think for now I'll clean it up and move it out of the way. My buddy wants the shear as well and I know that's not going anywhere.
3M pad and some degreaser is what I'm thinking, any other ideas for cleaning?
