Hi folks my name is Brian and I have a problem ...... I keep collecting antique stuff to overhaul/rebuild, why cant I just let it go to the scrap yard? ..... Sound familiar to anyone! My barn is so full I need to build another one. I've been lurking around here for awhile and decided to join. Looks like alot of great people and the information on this site is top notch. My father, son (16 years old) and I just love tinkering with ... well ... about anything. My son is the worst. He just has to have anything old that we come across .... atleast that's what I tell his mom ... "but hunny it was YOUR sons idea to buy it" ... (I think she is starting to catch on). LOL Here is a list of the running and/or restored "junk" in the barn.

1948 farmall H
1953 farmall super H
IH Cub Cadet 682
IH Cub Cadet 782
1969 ford 140 hydro with 48" deck and a 32" tiller
1970 ford 120 hydro
(Year unknown) Ford 145
1957 RJ 35 ponds (wheel horse)
1966 L-165 wheel horse lawn ranger
1960 wheel horse 550 suburban
1970 sears 10xl custom with deck, wheel weights, chains, and snowplow
1968 sears 10xl custom with deck and snowplow
1960-1961 Shaw Do-all mower
1965 John Deere 110
1967 John Deere 112 Hydraulic
two GoodAll pushmowers with Power Products engines
several old Briggs engines
Other small engines include
Maytag
REO (engine runs counter clockwise)
Clinton
Continental

Next on the list will be a old IH hit and miss, If I can find one in my price range .... sure hope somebody on here knows something about them.

I just got a MTD Cub 1320 Hydro that I am searching for info on .... Not really a "classic" but the price was right and I figured it will be a good machine to mow the yard with.

Well enough about me and thanks for putting up with a long post from a newbie ..... Heading to the CC MTD section to ask some questions.

Brian :Welcome2:

Great story and quite the list of jems! I want a Shaw Do-All but have no room for one. I know what that is willing to sell me one but where to put it? The contintal's are cool little mowers. I just love the looks of them. I would love to see some pics!

:WWP:

I will try to get some pictures when I do the spring cleaning .... I lost all my pictures when my old pc crashed .... I really need to start backing up all my files, this is the second time I have lost all the info I have gathered on my collection of stuff. I don't think I will ever learn !!!!
