    So Honest whats the purpose of putting them on 55 Gal Drums? So you can mow under them?

    Is that the solution to the gasses that Grass emits that cause rust?

    Getting them in the air allows the wind to blow underneath them, too. That along with a slight mist of used tranny fluid is my way of preserving them as long as I can.

    This is the way I got it. It's complete with engine and tranny. Too bad previous owners didn't take better care of it. I feel it's beyond restoration, just for parts now.

    Wowza! What a stable!

    Also, thank you to whoever made the pictures bigger for us who are visually impaired (and too stubborn to get glasses)
