2011 - A silver lining

When our normal camping spot had been flooded at the show we moved up close to the entrance gate to high ground.  While we were there someone stopped by and gave me their name and address and told me they would love for some old Simplicity stuff to go to a good home.  Well, my dad and I went over there a week or so later and found that he had owned a Simplicity showroom and had a nice Simplicity revitalizer, a lawn vacuum, a box made from a front cut series mower, an E-Z Rake and a Weedcutter.  I was stunned!  After bringing it all home the biggest surprise was that the Weedcutter had been adapted to fit the later series of large frame tractors!  So now I had a cutter for the older series(1960's, which needed it's own clutch off the front PTO) and the later series(1970's to current which ran off a clutched PTO).  Being that this was so close and free, this was my best haul ever.
