groomerguy how long do you think those machines have been there in beardmore? i know swamp dwag thought the metal looked half decent on them. from what i see, i agree with swamp dwag. i have a post ?? (i think that's what it's called) in getting registered on a possible find near my town. i was wondering what the bottom of that woodie looked like. i'm trying to get a mental picture of what to expect when i see it come summer. do you know where the serial ##'s would on a woodie?

those machines have been there for years.my dad and i looked at them in 1985,i last time seen them was in 2006.i know the guys that own them and they were not interested in selling them then.used to fish with them,i guess they would rather let them rot away. :-[

PLOTT HOUND , when you saw them in 2006 did the metal look in fair shape?? that's my question. i am trying to get a mental picture of what to expect and look for if i get to see this machine down here now this summer. do you where the serial ##'s are located on a woodie? same as on the metal body??

Thanks a lot. Every bit of info helps for an owner wannabe!!! Wonder what shape the belly pan & driveline would be in after sitting for 20 or more years?

after sitting there for 20 years the drivetrain is probabily all froze up. the bearings are all bad ;tires all rotted the rims all rusted if they were sitting the dirt all them years. motor and tranny are probably all no good if they even have them in the machines.i haven't seen the machines in person just some pictures.
