18 months ago I spent two days trying to convince myself I could rescue an old Cincinnati Tool Cutter Grinder. The problem was it was stuck down in a hole, on the side of a near cliff which access by a gravel driveway that would make a goat nervous. I didn't know how much it weighed and while the owners thought it was 300lbs I couldn't even get it to lean. I found out later it weighs 600lbs without motor. Since I already had a big power hacksaw in my van and no way to get anything else up there I had to turn my back on the poor thing and leave it sitting outside in the weather where it had been sitting for 25 years.
Fast forward to last Friday and my weekly (ok daily, don't judge) CL search and the poor thing popped up again. This time with the price of $50 or it is going to be pushed off the cliff (I made the last part up). My son and I went up there this morning, titled it onto a steel wagon and push/pulled it up out of the hole and got it in the van. It was a pretty nerve wracking drive back down the driveway and, of course, we bottomed out at the bottom but managed to get free and get it home. This poor guy may be beyond hope but one day I plan to give it my best shot.
