I suppose that the first question is, "What equipment is in the yard?" Mostly old stuff or home-made. Three trailers in the yard, two flatbeds both homemade and a van trailer also home-made. An Allis "C" 1948, a Farmall "A" 1940, a Hydromac badged Gehl 1970 skid steer, 1989 Rabbit powered home-made tractor with front blade and backhoe, 1953 GMC 4104 camper, 1983 International S1700 and a 1976 White Road Commander 2, these last three pull the trailers. There is a 1936 Caterpillar 22 in pieces that I need to get back together. The previous owner had run it over a stump and shattered the radiator mounts and the front of the engine. It will take a bit of work. I moved the shop into the basement, so maybe I can get some of this done over the winter. I've done welding and farm equipment repair, marine construction and a bunch of other odd jobs. The oddest was maintenance at a mattress factory. Ended up fixing everything from sewing machines to tractor trailers. Hopefully I can add something to the forum.
