    Scale and trailer, correct. Air pump-no. No oven nor vacuum pump. The photo is stretchable if you want close-up.

    A lathe, a scale, a pneumatic press. A bunny, a horsey, a moo-cow.

    Yes press but hydraulic. No lathe. How did you know about the animals, I told them to stay out of sight.

    If u don't hear from me until tomorrow, it's 'cause I had to retire early so I'd be ready for another retrieval trip at 5 AM. Goin' from VA to MA to pick up a milling machine. After I bought it, I noticed a brass tag with a long property number stamped in, between the words "Springfield Armory." So it was probably used to carve out parts for weapons during WWII and the Korean Conflict. The machine is about 7' tall and weighs about 4500 lbs.

    A horizontal mill? (My bad on the pneumatic - obviously hydraulic.)

    It is a vertical mill but close. Some of the Kearney and Trecker vertical and horizontal mill models look very similar, even have the same model designations, which baffles me, that had to have caused errors in supplying replacement parts.

    Ok, got off the road for some lunch, will identify the stuff. From left, hydraulic press, workbenches, blue recording scale, hydraulic crimper for hose couplings etc. (tube-like thing on green pedestal), "Geometric" brand bolt threader (dirty white thing,) die lifter (gray, lying down, has platform that's cranked up and down to lift up to 800 lbs.), hydraulic machinery lifter (orange, lying in top of big box, no hydraulic cylinder but replacements are very cheap), inside box are small plastic parts bins.

    Vendor I'm headed for called to confirm time, I asked for info to confirm I was headed in right direction to Highland, NY. I wasn't. He said he was in one of 3 Highland, New York places. I had just told I phone to get me to Highland, NY and it never mentioned that was ambiguous. Vendor told me he was near Newburgh, so I told IPhone to go there to get me in the right neighborhood. Don't trust mobile device navigation 100%, this isn't the first error I've had by far. Only cost me about 30 min. This time, Luckily.
