Ah yes. The horse drawn street sweeper. A self sustaining job if I ever heard of one. I read an article many years ago about polution in big cities caused by traffic. They were talking about road apples. 😁 I think the wire brush with the scraper is the cut off end of a painters wire brush. They are inexpensive so you don't mind cutting one down to do a particular job. Okay you caught me on the thermometer. I was thinking it was a test thermometer like the kind we used to test the wash line temperatures at work. I laughed enough to startle Lydia when you said the taste. 😁 The seal puller is beautiful.

That was one heck of a score.Those Snap-on pry bars have the absolute best angle for prying. Compare the profile to the head of a Craftsman and you will see the difference the slightest profile change makes on ease of use and versatility. As for the sweeper, 10 years of my life was spent working on those. I know every inch of that one you saw. I worked at the dealer level for 8 years and worked for the manufacturer for 2 years. Fun fact: That machine is specifically designed for NYC sanitation. There are features on that that you will not find on any other one built by Global Sweeper (formally Johnston Sweeper). They also built a bunch of CNG powered sweepers for NYC. Also there is no mechanical connection between the engine and the drive wheels. It's all hydro-statically driven at a max pressure of 6500 psi. The city's units are governed at 40 mph but we had similar units with the same drive train that would travel at 65 mph. Imagine going 65 mph sitting in that cab knowing there is no driveshaft spinning that axle. It was cool to be a part of that companies history.
