One last update. Drug the boom pole out of the ditch once they removed the downed trees. It's a Leinbach Line brand and appear to be in perfect condition. Should come in handy.
We found a helicopter chassis out in the heaviest area of the property. I don't know much about helicopters but it sure looks like an old Huey from Vietnam. After some digging and talking to the neighbor I found an old picture of it along with the new photo that I took. Had the loggers clear out around it to protect it for now. Also found the remnants of a crumpled up Cessna.
Last but not least.
There is an old metal shed on the property that was locked and none of the keys worked. Finally got around to cutting the lock off. When I opened the door right in the middle of a bunch of junk piles sat a 2006 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO on 4 completely rotted off tires. I drug it down to the house and started checking it over. Hooked a battery to it and the speedometer powered up. Shows just 238 hours on the clock. After a bit of tinkering I determined that the started solenoid was bad and the rubber intake manifold had a split in it along with a missing bolt that I found wedged on top of the transmission.
Long story short, $100 in eBay parts, along with 4 new tires and a new battery, and I have a perfect running 4 wheeler to get around the property. Silly thing starts and runs like a new machine. The plastic body work is rough but I'll find a parts machine to swap out the panels and fenders from.
That's all for now...
