Lol...kind of. This guy we know...his father passed away a few months ago and was overwhelmed
With all of the things his dad left behind. Lathes, construction equipment, tools, tractors, the list is large lol imagine a barn full of a man's treasures collected for over 60 years.
So, my brother began buying a few things here and there and then the guy offered to sell everything with the catch that he literally take everything.
So...now we have a crawler and all
Of the parts to re-build it twice lol. The gentleman that passed was very into rebuilding things I guess. I am guessing it was like how some folks collect stamps or coins because he kept everything so clean and organized. most of it is in the original boxes and then placed in ziplock bags wrapped in newspaper (dated 1991 lol) and then sealed in cardboard boxes.
My brother has sold most of everything else that he bought but we are stumped how to get these parts into the hands of someone that will appreciate them the way the original owner did and get use out of them. We realize this is quite a find but have no idea where to start.
I have reached out to several parts dealers and no one seems to be interested.
Someone gave me the idea of reaching out to folks via forums so here I am :)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
