Call me tomorrow or when you figure out what’s left there. I’d be interested in the 6v92 and the 13 speed. What are the welders.....?

Lincoln SA welders are easily sold regardless of the condition. If its bigger than a 400 or has Detroit power I am interested depending on location.
I went there and looked around last week i hadnt walked around in the lot for years. Every thing was in bad shape from seting i didnt see any welders out side there was some in a building but i havent been in there yet.
Will you give scrap price i passed up 2 lincolns at a auction last summer.There was 2 Detroit powered welders 1 1/2 hours from KC Mo. I dont know if they are still there but i can check.One i used 10+ years ago the other was stuck.I wouldnt want one to use my self.
Its a regler hood not long. It has a salvage title was wrecked at some time.Its no cream puff but could be fixed up.

How do you know if he had Lincolns?
I went down by there today and the guy thats cleaning it up was there i looked at the Freightliner agin. I had drove it and worked on it years ago i couldnt remember every thing about it. Its a 1979 and has air ride. I ask what he wanted and he told me what he could scrap it for it was just what i had figuered it would bring. I said i would tell him one way or the other in the morning. I am going to buy it but i dont think i will keep it. I will start it and go from there. I have told a buddy about it and he may want it.I would love to keep it and have it in usable shape but i would need to sale off some other prodjects to make room and money for it.
I bought the Freightliner now to get it home. I went there today to back off the brakes. We got alot of wet snow and its seting in a bad place. The front axle has sunk down and the tires will have to be turned sharp to miss a building so i am going to jack it up and turn it sharp then put something in the ruts. I dont think i can pull it out of the lot to the road with my truck.I was trying to think of a easy way to get it to the road with out hauling some thing or makeing some one drive along ways with there tractor. I was thinking this over a lunch when i saw a tractor go by. It was a buddy that i went to school with i went and talked to him and he said just call and he would pull it to the road. If i get it out of there theres a lot were i can move it to 3 blocks away that a good friend owns were i let it set until the weather gets better.
