I'd be in my glory scouting that place out. I'll bet your having a ball.
Please keep us informed and take a good light with you next time. Watch for holes in the floor so you don't get hurt.
Any chance there is a basement under it?

Welp, finally snagged these parts. Took me many years to get in, then roughly a year or more to get him to part ways with them. I'm not even sure what's in the box.. but it looks promising.Still haven't had a chance to meet with the owners son. Hopefully this week will be the week lol

I agree. I had tried to deal with the guy clear back when I started this post. He wanted 150.00 for the driveshaft, 300.00+ for the bolens parts, and even more for the old micro film he had for the bolens stuff... I also tried to pick up the Kohler parts and IH Cub parts and he wanted another 300.00+ for them. Most of the Cub stuff was gone aside from the grilles and some misc wiring and parts for some of the IH farm tractors. I picked the 3 grilles for 15.00, the wiring harnesses (made for big IH around 706 and up) for 10.00, the whole box of Bolens stuff for 10.00, the driveshaft for 5.00 and the orange universal joint for 3.00. the box is pretty big and has small boxes stacked 3 deep. I cannot wait to get the garage organized so I can inventory it this fall. I'm in the middle of getting rid of a few things in my shop so I can install some cabinets and parts bins. I'm really hoping some of these parts will be handy for my old tube frames and HT's. I grabbed up anything with Kohler written on it too, so that was part of the 10.00 I spent for the box. I never thought to grab up any of the old Tecumseh parts. I suppose they were for the bolens tractors, along with the Wisconsin boxes I saw. If anyone need JD parts, they still have a decent amount of small JD parts, along with Husqvarna chainsaw parts. Someone picked most of the other McCulloch, Homelite, and Stihl parts though. I didn't have time to dig much, but I'm really happy with what I ended up with.Nice! its not everyday you come across something like that.

Great buy Nick! If you like to part with any of it I would be interested. I love to play with the paint see if I could get a sample to get a code off and repo the decals.
