AI Thread Summary
A user is attempting to auction a 1998 Yard Machines lawn tractor, initially priced at $600 but later reduced to $400, along with a grading machine. The tractor's condition is questioned, with comments suggesting it may not be worth the hassle to sell. Participants share their own experiences of giving away valuable items during moves, highlighting the challenges of downsizing. The conversation shifts humorously to other auction items, including a handmade ceramic flatfish and a spare tire, with playful banter about their value and potential trades. The thread reflects a mix of genuine offers and lighthearted exchanges about the nature of unwanted possessions.

That looks too rusty! Is there any chance that it will get broken in half while working ?

It's mostly surface rust and could be used just fine.

The big wrenches were for the really big jobs.

BTW this was just one of 16 bolts and nuts used to join a generator shaft at the grand Coulee dam in 1942. The bolt and nut weighed 190 lbs.

This is a faux cash deal only. All offers will be considered null and void if not accompanied by "a self addressed stamped envelope". Anyone remember that expression.

I'm sure it's an optical illusion, but the threads look ultra fine and the nut looks as if it's not running straight (if it's on the right side looking at the picture)o_O:) just glad that I'm not the guy in the picture :D Where's OSHA:oldconfused:

Here is a better picture I can't even see any threads on the bolt. They must just run only the width of the nut.
