Adding an 1863 to the fleet

I’m on a roll today. This one is probably for parts and the engine. It has front wheels and a 48” deck (not pictured)



Ambulance not included.

Might as well get the cool storage shed in the background too!

Good job!

It is for sale but I couldn’t lift it. And it wouldn’t fit on my trailer. I was thinking chicken coop with it.

I just saw my wife took pictures of the loading process. Lol! First one I’ve loaded this way.

Got it home in one piece... errr got it home with all the pieces it had at the show room (remnant corn crib floor). The loading tool punctured the oil filter, and I borrowed my in laws trailer and got hydro fluid all over the planks. So I’ll be skinned alive when I take that back. I’m gonna try degreasing and scrubbing it. But I dunno. :bash2:

Coat the rest of the deck, and tell him you put protective coating on the wood deck so it don't rot and it was expensive stuff!!:beerchug:

Fire will get rid of the oil. In fact, I'm willing to bet they wouldn't be able to tell you spilled any oil or scratched the paint.

Ahh fire, the miracle cleaner!

:IH Trusted Hand: THAT'S what we did with every wagon years ago. Waste oil? No such thing, as "waste" oil.
Congrats on the new to you tractor.:beerchug:

I'm with the rest of them.. oil is a good preservative and water repellant for the wood.. i'd spray the rest of it!:beerchug:
We have a wood floor trailer that we spray with a mixture of oil and diesel fuel every so often..

This is a fantastic idea actually. I may do just that. Last summer I replaced the boards for them and they’ve been needing treated anyway.
