Found on eBay, this one spent the last 15 years serving as a fire hydrant in someone's backyard. The elements have been hard on this little guy, leaving everything siezed and rusty (the serial number isn't even visible at this point). The starter is missing, as are a few other parts, but I'm confident it can be brought back to life.
