Came across the remains of an old bob sled today.

By golly, a white mule in that last pic.

And I don't expect anyone to know but us Okies...A 'white mule' was probably one of the first drinking games to ever come down the pike. Any time you see a white mule you have to take a swig of good corn 'squeezins'...(aka un-aged ethyl al-kee-hall distilled from malted corn). I did notice there is a White Mule Distillery in Purdy, MO. I'm pretty sure my granddad and uncles were playing 'white mule' long before the distillery came into existence. 😉

carry on...and pass the jug.

Is there a little rebar next to it?;)

no- and there isn't a ref pin in front either.

That's an unusual find. Just hope you don't find the remains of Bob, too.

Pretty sure Bob tottered of toward Tie Buckers Saloon many moons ago....

Here I thought you were on vacation in Jamaica.

I find the hardware involved in holding contraptions from the past together fascinating.
Will document with pictures and take measurements of the remains and abscond with the hardware when permitted.
I have most of the parts to build a late 1800s wagon and an lots of other parts.

Probably looked something like this in it's prime.

BTW- disregard that CONC RW mon next to the rover rod. The REAL corner is probably some computed point nearby.... :rolleyes:

That is a huge load for 4 horsepower.

Lotsa torque though.
