Found on road...

[Eddo Rogue]

It really got old sitting looking backwards.
The only worse seat I ever had was sitting in a jet plane backwards. Lost my stomach on takeoff and didn't get it back until it leveled off at 35000 ft

That sounds fun. I'm weird.

I thought you'd like that

So I was driving down the road and saw a black, slightly bigger than football size object. Cranked a U and found what looks to be at least a 5hp 240V motor. Other the an external fan bent a bit, and some road rash, it looks to be new. Still has blue grease on the shaft. Unfortunately it is a flange mount and I've never seen or used one before. I will have to research applications.

What have you found?

I figured out this motor is missing a back cover over the fan blades. The motor is a TEFC; Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled. Good for environments with explosive gases. And dust can be explosive in the right circumstances, like grain dust. Or paint fumes. I haven't look for a cover yet but will...

I would volunteer/call/fight for the backwards seat.

We never had a station wagon growing up. So never got to experence the backwards seat.

We got carted around in a 75 or 76 Club wagon lol

I de-shelled a turtle once . He was in the middle of the road and I was going to straddle him. Didn't think about the clearance of the Accord and I heard the slightest thump. Surely he didn't fare too well after that.

damn. Only good thing ive ever found was an 8ft werner fiberglass ladder.

Wasnt much good though after i ran it over.

My only worthwhile find was a 6' fiberglass ladder on the shoulder.

About 2 years ago I found a 12" Snap-On Philips screwdriver. Then about 6 months ago I found a Mac 6" flat tip.

I wondered where those went... I'll PM you my address so you can send them to the rightful owner.

But seriously... I lost an old Mac red handled chrome flat tip. If it's the right one I'd be willing to trade a snap on flat blade for it...

I have found 2 aluminum baseball bats, an Escape grill, A ford Ranger/Explorer Aluminum Rim with a shredded tire, a few steel rims, with crappy tires. I once found a Brand new white wagon wheel rim/tire combo that was a perfect fit for my D21, but the tire had a road rash scar all the way to the wire on the inside. the tire still had the sticker on it, but the damage was too bad to trust for a spare. I've recently found a Power Wheels Mustang, practically brand new. I made a few mods to it so it would be more fun. (Larger battery and bicycle tires cut up and screwed to the wheels for more traction.)
I tend to stop at all trash piles and the like, living in a college town, I see whole aprtments sitting out by the road in piles and heaps. I'm not too proud to stop and plunder. I also just came across a box that had about 10-12 cans of spray paint and some sanding sponges and a belt for a belt sander, still in the package. I just don't have a belt sander for it.

Just keep checking those trash piles.

Oh, that reminds me, I recently found a hand held rotarty tool. Not a Dremel brand and a little bit bigger/beefier than a Dremel. It may be a small hand held router of some sort. It was in a matching bag with a bunch of small broken drill bits and a few spare parts. It works like a champ, I use it to drill out the rivets for customizing Hot Wheels.

Sounds like a "die grinder" tool.

it has this adaptor piece, almost like a foot, but it's a circle. The angle can be adjusted. The rotary tool can slipe up/down the adaptor piece. I think it's for plunging holes.
It will only accept small drill bits and dremel tips will aslo fit.
