Hi everyone! This Sunday (22/05/2016) I will be at the Lockyer Swap Meet at the Laidley show grounds. I will be selling lots of mowers and parts, if you need anything and you are in the area come check it out.
Some, but not all, of the larger stuff I am taking.
Good luck Kye. It's a bit far away for me but hope you move on your surplus. I'm looking forward to the pics you'll be posting of your new toys Sunday night.
The anvil is my dads Slash, we have looked at anvils for ages and finally decided to buy one. I'm not sure what kind it is, I haven't had a good look at it. The grill is a home made one, someone welded all the little bars one by one, it will look good in a bar!
I can't believe what they want on ebay for old petrol tins, I started collecting them 10 years ago to use at work when I had a modern tin rust out and leak on me. I glean them from sidewalk cleanups mostly and the odd garage sale. I just toss some fuel/oil in them and stash them away for the future. The round ones I use for straight petrol and the little 4L square ones for 2-Stroke, that saves confusion.
Sorry I missed the swap meet, would have been a good excuse to take a ride up the Brisbane valley. Not that a biker needs an excuse but it's always better that way.
There was only a couple other mowers there, all were to dear except for a few which someone beat me too. At least I got a Rover fuel can, $5, nice and cheap!
I did come home with 3 mowers, its just I also left with them. No one wants to buy my Rovers!!!
A similar Atlantic sign just sold for $10 000 at the Cowra auction, and another for $8000. We want to sell this one for a bit (no where as much as Cowra) and buy his other sign, an old Mobil. We also got the first half of the sign with it but its rusted, we might keep that one.
I wouldn't be surprised if that fancy restaurant thought it was too rusty....
