I first learned of the Keystone museum when it was mentioned on this site. I knew I had to go, so yesterday with the nice driving weather I took off work and made the trip down south. It is in the Richmond, VA area--town of Colonial Heights to be exact.
I took a lot of photos. It's allowed. I'll post some now and again because dumping a bunch of them all at once is a bit overwhelming. There's a lot of stuff there.
The first series is a tractor that I probably spent more time on than any of the other exhibits. It was built from scratch by a man who not only fabricated the whole thing using an Indian motorcycle engine for power, but also built the AC welder that he used to build the tractor. Check out the level of fabrication, the big hydraulic cylinders he put on it. One thing's pretty certain: After he'd tightened the last nut, welded the last bracket--he's the only one who would have been able to operate it.
Also outside the museum was a neat exhibit I call the "Rust Carrier." Car carrier and cars as they found them, unrestored.
