I will try to get pics of my dads. My Grandpa built it years ago, the base is a bull gear ,don't remember what size machine though. The post is a crankshaft out of a D-8 I think.

Where can you get one of those? Even Ma was impressed by that, so maybe we'll have a new lawn ornament in a few months. :p

I was just at their last auction in New Jersey. They sold their old dozer mailbox. I was stupid and just stood there without raising my hand. It only sold for $10.

Thought I'd resurrect this old thread with a pic of my mailbox - (it's a Case 850 transmission housing)

Any more interesting mailboxes out there ??

We can't do that here either 2 stick..... if someone ran into it they could sue the pants off you. Liability thing I guess along with living in a too liberal state.
