I looked at listing - for ranch kettle and just for 25. Immediate texted the seller and picked up this morning. big thank you @Mr.CPHo and now I have 2 ranch kettle.

Wow, congrats on the find. You can order an entire new frame and still come out way ahead on this one.

Amazing score. Those frames are pretty reasonably priced. You're lucky the grates are good as those are $$$$

Congrats! That is an amazing score especially if both grates are in good condition. I will bet the frame is not bad as it looks. Most likely all surface rust that could be taken off easy and repainted.

Thank you everyone for (jealous

Owner told me he was about to throw this or give it for free - his wife insisted to get some money

Rust and all, that's a steal. Hell, you could reinforce weak spot with L brackets while getting replacement parts.
GREAT find dude.

you may even call Weber for those parts. I called them for the cooking and charcoal grates for the Ranch and Weber was cheaper than e replacement !!

Weber also has flat rate shipping of $7 per order. You got a steal at $25. Definitely worth dropping $100 or so on a new cart. I'd treat the rust on the lid to prevent it from getting any worse. Use a rust converter, not a rust remover.
