[SEL] Auction finds

Hi John,
If that David Bradley brush cutter is the device with two wheels, and a  
circular saw blade up front with two handles in the rear to hang on to, be very  
careful with it.  I met a fellow who lost a leg to one of those when he was  
clearing brush from a slope.  The saw blade grabbed some brush and instead  of 
cutting, it jerked the machine from his grip rotating it 180° and cut his  leg. 
 His grandson was with him and was able to slow the  bleeding which saved his 
life.  For brush cutting I prefer the two  wheel Gravely with the sulky 
behind.  It can't turn on itself and  does good work in brush.

Play safe.

PS:  Those REO engines are interesting, don't you  think?

Went to  an auction today and brought home a truckload. Although no flywheel  
engines I picked up an old Wright chaisaw, 2-man McCullough, cast iron  
Clinton, A Reo reel mower with about 75% origianl paint and good wheels,  and 
a David Bradley brush cutter. Definetly a good day. Lots of old tools,  
belting, buzz coils, farm machinery etc. Sales like that are getting hard  to 
come by around here. Looks like we'll be tinkering in the shop this  fall.
