New Reel Arms For Sale

I have added reel arms for the 60/66 on the parts page..A word about the reproduction wood parts..that word would be “expensive!”  As I am adding new wooden parts to the lineup to replace the exhausted NOS supply, I have found that having these new parts milled is an expensive proposition.  But if you think about whats involved in making a quality peice, it is really no surprise. It can be a time consuming process and the hourly labor rate is a bit higher now than back in the 1950’s!  So just wanted to let you know that the markup on my end on these wooden parts is minimal to none; so there is no gouging going on;  I am just glad to have these parts available.

Another One Saved

Had the pleasure of talking to Kevin Perkins of Effingham, IL the other day.  Seems he aquired a 72 that had been sitting in a shed since being used one season in ‘64. There were several other all-crops for sale as well, and they went for scrap to China. What a shame! The prices paid for the other machines where in the hundreds; are scrap metal prices that high?? Well, at least we saved one; you can see it here.
