And look at this inside liner!!!! SOLID!!!!!!
All the shelves.... now it looks like ... if they used it....
the shelves would be in place..... There's no outlet...
nothing plugged in....look at all the leaves in the
bottom area.... It faces more southeast little to no
coverage... Could it have been outside for long?...
I'm beginning to wonder if the son picked it up here lately... but why... if he collects.... would he have it outside?...

I NEED THIS MACHINE!!!....... '<img'>

Eric,
Wish mine was as orginal and clean as that one. But please be carefull. Would hate to see this fall apart.

If I came home and someone was poking around in my box/property, and if they recovered from "falling down trying to run away" they would not be the first one I would sell the machine to.

I know the midwest has lot's of very kind folks. Finally got M&D to stop leaving the keys in the car when they go into Wally World :-)

Eric,
  I would put a note in their mailbox. Explaining who you are and that you would love to add their machine to your collection. Terry '<img'>

Terry has a great idea. I bought a few cars by putting notes under the wiper. Suspense is just killing me, hope this gets to a new home soon :-)

Yeah I know.... Felt funny... but had to see the condition...
They only come out about once a month to cut grass. They where out last week but she missed them...
I ran around back opened it and shot these then left... I won't go back (till I've paid for it and loading it) have a story for my mother in-law to tell them as I don't want them knowing I collect.. Just that I saw it this past winter when me and my brother in-law where hiking  along the river bank... which is true. That I'm turning 40 this June and it would make a great gift as he likes old stuff...
Get a price (hopefully) and make the deal. I'd pay good money for it... Just would like them to set the price.

This is one of those deals where you shoot too low you may insult them... too high they'll think they own the
only one in the world.
Gotta go with the Nice neighbor getting a gift for her son who's turning the big 4-0 with cash in her hand.......

And please don't think bad of me... I'm not one who goes sneaking around on others property all the time.
(But I am the guy who drives slow when a garage door is up or the shed's opened.... Spotted a couple machines,
pumps and several old cars that way ':cool:' )
This is the only time... Just so weird to see.... One of the
most collectable machines.... just sitting in the weather....

Why... Oh Why...  '<img'>
