Mark, I emailed Clemco to purchase logo and safety decals , so most likely close to OEM colors.

Here is my free USA made Draw-Tite trailer hitch I picked up on the side of the road this morning. It was leaning against a fence with a free sign along with a bicycle carrier!

No picture "Yet"...
I found a Oxy-Acetylene set on the side of the road last week... Victor Torch and one #1 tip with regulators and small tanks about half full...
A lot of other junk there too... man said the Realtor paid someone to come in and clean out the property but the guy doing it didn't think the dump would take it so he set it out.

These things usually don't happen to me...
Driving by and said wait a minute...
Put it in reverse, got out and then got the story.
About the only other time anything remotely similar happened is when I scored a free box trailer... it had cut down mobile home axles but still useful... never titled it so just use at around the Christmas Tree Farm...

Figure I'll throw a few pics of my bigger US machine tools Ive acquired over the past few years in the thread.
Walker Turner 16in vertical bandsaw (auction find)
Wells Index 847 mill (ebay)
Clausing 2277 drill press (auction)
Kindt Collins Master 24in disc sander with table extensions. (auction)
Still need to do some work on the saw and drill press, the press is in very nice condition though.
Hopefully I can get the new shop done and start setting up some of the equipment soon.

Me either. Note the 3/8” square nub on the handle’s end for drain plug or?
