When we were down in Kennebunk this weekend, we went to a pretty cool place.....a salvage business for old, old house parts...stained glass windows, mantles, old sinks...door knobs...you name it.....really huge place full of stuff.....real spendy for old junk....but happened on this little tractor and I instantly thought of Jimmy so I took a couple pics.....was in real good shape....

I looked but didn't find any old saws.......

Also got one for Jerry too........whatdaya think of that tile job Jerry??!!!

That is some fine mosaic work, no grout so I figure all the parts must be machined, just too intricate to be hand formed. Each piece would need to be exacting to shape and size, kinda like watch parts.

It really is quite something.....quite old...likely an entrance floor....all made of various types of marble......about.....probably 4' 6" by 9' or so...in perfect condition except missing some of the white border......didn't ask the price!!!!!

That Speedex tractor is a nice piece of history also, made by the Pond tractor co in Galena Ohio, wonder what model it is, likely one of the many S models they made.

If the saw won't start try having like 3 people pull the cord at once, you might just not be pulling hard enough.

So tonight I finally got a John Deere mower running Ive been avoiding. LX188....well worn. Wiring harness was all burned up...fixed it up, new voltage regulator, new battery, carb rebuild, new water pump...it runs. Now to mount the seat pan, new fuel line, clean the tank, new blades, hang the deck under it and level it..may even change the oil. It'll be a worked over worn out mower! Everything wears out...she wouldn't listen so I take her money.
