June 7, 201313 yr comment_12731 I found this one at a old abandoned farm. It was stuck to a old workbench by some sort of resinous goo. It was in pretty bad shape with rust. I remember having to knock the frog off it with a mallet. Almost gave up on it a few times because of all the metal I removing. There is still a lot of discoloring in the metal but it came out looking pretty good overall.  I reglued the broken tote and rethreaded the body for the front knob stud. The body was painted using Rustoleum Appliance epoxy, and the Tote & Knob were sanded and given 2 coats of spar urethane. It is my favorate user now.  Report
