one astonishing estate sale in Fresno... with a couple bugs, tractors, a Harley Servi-cycle, Snap On tool box... and a helicopter frame from the Vietnam era (Thanks Doug!)
That is cool stuff. That 8N Ford and the Terex loader will most likely run and still be able to do some useful work for an orchard owner. Knowing Harley's the Servi-cycle will probably run with some cleaning up and fresh gas-extra points for the new owner if they try to take a ride with the angle iron handlebars still in place. I'd say keep the patina on that one, and take it to cruise around Sturgis with cooler full of adult beverages in the back. Then there's the jewel of them all, that wonderful old Sikorsky H34. Probably never fly again, but it would make for a great centerpiece in a bar-right next to a base with an Army Aviation regiment.
I was wondering how my wife would react if I take that old chopper home... But I won't die until I get an inflatable tank or anti-aircraft rocket launcher to our garden!
