He Built A Swing-Away Mailbox
 ✖  |
In the past few years, my mailbox was destroyed 3 times by snowplows. I decided to build a swing-away mailbox by using the cast wheel and axle from a Farmall A. I slipped a long piece of pipe over the axle and then inserted a smaller dia. piece of pipe down into the larger piece so it would swing freely. I used a couple pieces of angle iron and sheet metal to make a mounting bracket for the mailbox.
This winter when the snowplow went by, the mailbox just swung harmlessly away. (Carl H. Keeler, Perkiomenville, Penn. ph 215 588-5915; chkeeler@verizon.net)
