Just happened to think... forgot to ask this morning... What are you required to do with the old Hydrant? That would look super cool in a man cave or just in the corner of the shop as a conversation piece.

I'm thinking they probably don't let them "go home" with people too much!

We have a site where we keep our stone, dirt, sand, etc. It is there where we take all of our scrap like steel gas pipe, ductile and cast iron water pipe and also all of our old hydrants. You are right it would be very cool to have a hydrant for display. I have never asked about being able to take one. We have had people ask about hydrants and we just tell them the best bet would be to call the office. To the best of my knowledge all the old hydrants still lay in a pile.

We used 57 limestone. I would have rather used bank run because limestone is corrosive. I wasn't in charge of that department. All our old stuff went to scrap.

Born into an Air Force family, when my dad was teaching at West Point. Have lived in New York, Maryland, Alabama, Florida (east and gulf coasts) , New Mexico, California and North Carolina .

Ham Radio and Motorhead in High School (New Mexico was full of enginless junked rust free 55-57 Chevys for $35 at the time)

I got a BS degree in Electronics Engineering and have been working as an Electronics engineer in the computer and industrial electronics industries until about 10 yrs ago moved to Engineering Management.

I now manage two Electronics Design labs for a multinational company , one a power electronics lab, the other an electromagnetic interference lab.

Will retire in a couple yrs.... enjoy guns, cars, ham radio and of course Cubs.

John

I'm retired after 35 years in the motion picture business. Now it's just work out at the farm and take care of the cows!

Alvy, I was very fortunate to do many things...From cameraman on rock shows, to sound on fashion industry shows in New York, but most of my crew work was on commercials and low budget movies as an electrical best boy. I finally ended up owning a business that rented equipment to the commercial business. I do have many stories that will be left untold. I can say one of the highlights of my career was working on a show for HBO in the early "80s shooting Frank Sinatra in concert in the Dominican Republic. Sinatra was the headliner and Buddy Rich, Heart and Santana were also on the bill. Don't miss it a bit!

Arcade Mechanic. I fix & install video games, pinball machines, pool tables, jukeboxes and such. I also do a bit of building and fleet maintenance, whatever else needs done.

Semi-retired. We make and sell steel art, at craft shows and car shows, using a CNC plasma table and a variety of methods to finish it. It's very pleasant to finally make our own hours and only travel when we want to.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
