FOR SALE (Sep 24) TX - Sickle Mower - This rare Fairmont M-5A Sickle Mower has been totally restored.  The two Wisconsin ACN engines were removed and overhauled with new pistons, rings, valves, valve guides and heads. Both impulse magnetos were totally disassembled and rebuilt.  Everything on the two sickle bars was replaced: new wear plates, new cutter sections and stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance.  The cables on both booms were replaced and all hardware is stainless steel.  The wood decking is weather resistant, plastic impregnated Trex-Deck.  The mower rides on 20 inch stamped wheels.  Each mower arm, powered by a Wisconsin ACN engine, can be raised and lowered by the two operators.  The cutter arms will also swing 90 degrees to the side if the cutter arm encounters any obstacles.  The arms are equipped with Garner clutches which allow the engines to run while the blades are disengaged.  The mower has two unique features by having a turntable with a hand operated hydraulic pump mounted on the deck and a large frame mounted gas tank which feeds each engine through the gas tanks mounted on each engine.  This unit needs to be in a museum.  I do have extra cutter sections and wear plates which will be included. I can also furnish copies of the original Fairmont M-5A Operators Manual, Garner Clutch Manual and Wisconsin ACN Engine Manual.  The mower is currently located in San Antonio, TX at the address below.  Asking $20,000.00 for the rarer double sickle mower.  Additional pictures of the restoration can be found on the Anchor Hocking Glass Museum website under the "About the Curator" tab.Philip L.

FOR SALE (Sep 24) TX- Fairmont Derrick - This rare 13-foot Fairmont Derrick has been totally restored.  The Wisconsin Model AENL 9-horsepower single cylinder engine that runs the hydraulic hoist system was removed and overhauled with new piston, rings, valves, valve guides, head and bearings.  A new carburetor was installed and the impulse magneto was disassembled and restored.  The boom cable was beyond repair so 200 feet of 3/8 inch galvanized cable was procured and installed.  The hoist is hydraulically run by a Vickers vane pump and hoist motor while the boom can be manually raised and lowered.  All hydraulic hoses were replaced.  The derrick deck was removed and replaced with pressure treated lumber that was stained and coated with weather resistant polyurethane.  The brakes are new and all the original steel hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) was discarded and replaced with stainless steel for corrosion resistance.  The rail clamps on both ends of the deck were removed, disassembled, heated with a torch, straightened, primed, painted and reassembled.  I do have another NOS Vickers hydraulic power pack which will be included with the derrick.  I can also furnish a copy of the original service instructions and parts list for the W64 A Series Derrick Car and Hydraulic System.  The derrick is currently located at my residence in San Antonio, TX. This unit needs to be in a museum.  Asking $15,000.00 for the derrick and extra hydraulic power pack.  Additional pictures of the restoration can be found on the Anchor Hocking Glass Museum website under the "About the Curator" tab.
