This is fun! What great packing!!!! What could it be? Could be anything....that size. I would say a washer, television, dishwasher, dryer.... Something vintage I would guess! Fun. Brent |

Sorry guys - it was the haircut/workout/go-out-with-the-work-croud after work this evening. Fred - oh yeah, that 53 foot trailer was half way packed. Guessing that I was half way through the drivers day. Noticed a huge motor in a crate on a pump - something along the lines of a 50 HP unit or so. Lucky that the driver had the balls to take a 53' trailer through the neighborhood seeing that all entrances to the neighborhood have "NO TRUCKS" at the entrance. While the delivery was difficult to set up - I would recommend Bobbie @ You Crate (1-877-558-2580 ext. 1775) to anyone here in the group. Great rates, and pretty good customer service. Depending on the delivery terminal you might get an old biddy like I did. Here is the Blackstone with the straps off, ready to get off the crate. The beauty of You Crate is they drop of the crate, you stuff it full of the goodies, then they come and pick it up. So you can strap down your machine, they provided a very heavy tarp, and it arrived safe and sound. The machine just looked beautiful in the spring noon-time sunshine. |

Fred is such a great guy. In the tub was a copy of the original parts break downs, as well as a full copy of the repair manual for the 250/350 Blackstone washers. Back in the day the copy would have cost you a single US dollar. As well as the original ad brochure! Thanks again for everything Fred - this machine is just in such great shape and is one of the dream machines checked off the list. More to come soon! Ben |

The thing I want to see on this is the Neutral Drain where the agitator lifts up and the water falls into the outer tub. |
