My wife and I were out on an 8 mile hike in Penn's woods yesterday and when we got up the mountain at about 1400 feet of elevation we came across this. Anyone want to venture a guess as to the brand shovel this is? Sorry for the poor quality picture...I'm still on a flip phone....LOL:eek:

Looks like it could be a General

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner.....LOL:)! I thought this would have been a little more challenging. Would you by chance know what brand engine was in this beast? I could not make out the writing on the casting do to corrosion and my flip phone could not capture a good picture. It is a flat head with two cylinder heads..inline.

I realize you would have to hire it done, but what if you put that on a beam trailer and maybe just pulled the gantry.
