Default Can you guess what this is?

I saw this last week and thought it would be interesting to see how many know what it is:

P.S. The middle board is on rollers.

Man! I was hoping to stump a few with this one. That is exactly what it is. More often seen in hill billy regions.

This one was located in southeastern Ohio.

BTW, whenever I see a setup like that where someone has been using the home for vehicle repairs I always have a good look around for signs of illegal oil dumping on the property.

One property I inspected several years ago in NH, was being sold by a father and son race team, who had (for 20 years) been dumping all their waste oils and those of their friends on the edge of the property.

I am told that it cost over $20,000 to decontaminate the ground, and that they were very fortunate not to have poluted the local water sourses.

Gerry

Hey;

Had some of them in Northern Maine, except they were bigger to accept 4000-6000 # vehicles.
Ground used to be covered with oil spills and the river brook was only 100 feet away. Amazing, the furthest thing from our minds back then, heck my father and I used to pour waste oil around sonotubes to prevent the frost from heaving them. There were all kinds of good uses, but now they are all illegal.
Not fun anymore. ha. ha.

Marcel

My Dad (now in Heaven) had one just like it. I still use it. Laugh if you want, but changing your own oil used to be be very common. Now, most folks don't know how to put air in a tire.
