[SEL] Barn Fire Pictures

[Luke Tonneberger]

Hi Joe,

 

Yep, it is a Lindemann that was burnt up. I don't believe that one was all done up like the one in the background of the photos I sent. Fortunately he had several other out buildings with goodies in them along with his garage. He didn't lose everything.

> Those photos really send a chill down my spine. it looks like that was a pretty nice collection before the fire. I notice one crawler in there, is is a BO Lindemann? Someone will want that one for parts, they are a neat little rig. I have a friend who has one, I look like a bear riding a tricycle when I get on it.....

The solder joints on the fuel tanks were melted apart. I spent a winter on them and a bundle on parts, but I was amazed at how easy they came apart. Every stud in the block came right out but every time you removed a fastener, you got a nasty burnt smell.
