Forage Farmer visits Guido Salvage World HQ

Had a chance to meet Rob today. He looked over my inventory and purchased a couple of items. Also got roped into doing some manual labor helping me unload a wagon into my shed. I will let him provide the details.

 

Glad I met you at a Gtg and there wasn't any labor involved. Lol.

 

I also got to see the dump truck load of chainsaws. Even bought a couple out of it.

Got an interesting lesson on Studebaker's.

I wanted one of his Oliver track loaders, but didn't let on.

 

"Dump truck load of chainsaws" is terminology found usually in my dreams. Awesome stuff for sure!

 

There are pictures of it around, maybe Guido Salvage can repost one.

His Studebaker custom mobile home hauler truck is one of the most interesting things I have ever seen.

 

It all needs to go, rather you have it than someone else. You did not see the one on the left behind the stack of lumber, that one has a 4 in 1 bucket on it.

 

Rob's first purchase, when it is over he will wish he never met me.

 

I saw it through the gloom from the bed of the dump truck.

Of course that 66 looked good in the gloom and not so much in the light of day.

The problem is your prices are very reasonable.

I told you my weak spot; other than chainsaws, thankfully your collecting habits don't run in that direction.

 

Hauling the last wagon.

 

Let's see a pic of that studebaker fire truck!

 

Give me 45 minutes.

 

Maybe I recant my post and would like to have met Gary at his place to see his collections.

 

Sorry about the delay, but my property is in a black hole. Time has not been kind to the truck, it was polished up about half a dozen years ago. It only has 2349 original miles on it and the rear tires are original to the truck.

 

Man I would have loved to have seen that truck when it was new.

 

When I get back home next week I will post a picture of what it looked like when I washed and waxed it.

I also had a '49 fire truck that I sold 5-6 years ago. It is a beautiful truck truck and has less than 6000 miles. I saw it yesterday when I took my buggy to storage.

 

Gary is this the property that you sold? Or is this the storage area for your stuff?

I thought you said you lived on a golf course before? Your stuff looks nothing like anything I have ever seen in a golf course neighborhood

Bunch of cool stuff. Id like to come and hangout!!

 

Nate, this is my property back in Virginia where I stored my stuff before I moved to Lexington. My old House in Lexington was on a golf course. I have owned this piece of property in Virginia for the last 15 years and that's where all my junk is.

 

I figured that must of been the case. How far are the properties apart? Can you visit your "junk" very often?
