    Some Pics From Gerhart's Yard in PA

    The Green letourneau, is an ex James D Morrissey scraper. I believe Gerhart bought it at an auction in the 1980's. It is in great shape, you can still make out the jdm lettering on it. I also think they have a ex gradall also used to be owned by jdm, for sale.

    Keeping Mice out of your equipment

    I heard a good way to keep pest away (mice) is to use human hair. The mice will not set up home in equipment if they smell presence of humans (that being the hair).
