I have both my grandfather's threshers here still. A Nichols and 
Shepherd Red River Special
and a Huber. Neither of them have ever seen the inside of a shed in my 
lifetime, or probably
since new. The wood is rough on some parts but that galvanized steel 
just lasts forever.
I doubt I'll ever use them but I'll never send them for scrap iron either.
