So about 3 weeks or so ago I purchased a whole bunch of parts tractors and miscellaneous wheel horse parts. Well after I got that stuff home. The people I bought stuff from called me about this b80. They said they found it in the barn and suspect it's been there since the early 80s when there grandfather's dealership closed. So I went over to check it out and they offered me to take it for free if I would fix there garden tractor in return. So I did and intended to just sell it. Well a guy called and came to supposedly purchase it. Well I think he kicked more tires then I was aware I had so to speak. So I ended up getting it running good and used it a couple times. Well I ended up loving the power with the 8 speed. So I went through it mechanically and changed up a few things. Now it's officially a member of my collection. Just got to add lights and give it a good wax job. I scrubbed it down good and power washed and it cleaned up nice. First 3 pics are before and the rest are what it is now. I'll post more pics when I get the rest done.

This is probably silly but I was made very happy today. The new shed that I had planned on getting since January was finally installed, six weeks after ordering it. It almost didn't happen though due to the HOA that I now have to live under! They were upset with my submittal to them as it didn't have enough information. Also, even though the city was fine with partially encroaching on an underground drainage easement, the HOA wanted it out of the easement completely. The pad was done the other day before approval which also irritated them. Luckily common sense prevailed. Th trailer by Pine Hill is really neat as it can move sideways with the lateral set of tires underneath. It is a 10' x 16' shed with an 8' workbench and 4' loft at one end. I had to match the house color and, of course, architectural shingles. Now to landscape around it and load everything in to it! Especially the new-to-me 314-8. About two hours later the sky opened up with a quick thunderstorm to baptize it. There is an 18" culvert that dumps right there.Even though it looks close, the bottom is about a foot higher and six feet away from the water.

Purchased recently and will be with me in a few weeks to join the C161 ..... [/URL] [/URL] [/URL] [/URL] [/URL]

Don’t get left out! One of my favorite aspects of the Wheel Horse Collectors Club “Big Show” is the gathering of so many Red Square members. This year’s Red Square “Big Show” group photo will be taken on Friday, June 22 at 11:30am. The location is near the concession stand on the entrance drive (same as previous years). Craig, AMC-RULES and I will be coordinating the picture this year. Craig will do his magic with the camera and I will need your help putting names with faces.

I think I better bring some more Horse-A-Holic stickers for many of you. Jim you absolutely qualify.

Hard to hit a fast moving target.

Glad you clowns are havin a good laugh on my addiction.!!! Heck two years ago when you made us those cool banners Terry I was WHX61/3 !!!!

WHX INFINITY

Super happy for you! It looks great! They could. Yes. With the appropriate diameter string. Appropriate tensile strength string. Appropriate number of braids in said string. Appropriate length string. Appropriate color string. The size and shape of the kite would have to conform to the local area buildings. The material of the kite would have to be hurricane proof and tornado proof and earthquake-proof and lightning proof. And also, obviously! The color of the kite would have to closely match any and all other structures in the area. And, you would have to be very careful about watching out for trees because you would not want that high-strength string and perfect kite to mess up a branch or two. You know what? Let's just never mind. I don't think an HOA could actually go fly a kite.

It's official! All 50 spots are locked in. There are 49 counting me. Card 50 is a checklist card so everyone will get 49 of their cards and 1 of mine plus a checklist card so you can easily keep track of who you need to track down. I will have the first complete set of the 2018 Big Show limited edition Red Square Support member trading cards. Looks like we'll have a swap meet within a swap meet.

Have to make this just to prove I was there.

Or maybe “WHX?”

I think #15 is a misprint shouldn't it be WHX19?

Im gonna list my 1981 d160 but have no idea what I should ask, can anyone give me a ball park on what I should ask? Has onan motor that runs great and comes with rototiller and disk and plow

I'd hang one of them in my shed if it was to show up here in Maine

That’s awesome Terry!

Congrats! That's a darn fine looking builiding.... HOA's can go fly a kite.

@953 nut, just to make a suggestion. With our large group, it's hard to get everyone in the pic. There is a ramp entrance to the building where all the "Museum" tractors are lined up. Perhaps we could use that ramp as a riser to elevate some of the members so they show up good in the pic

Updated Checklist Card. Typo corrections Let me know if you see any other errors Fixed Buckrancher, Darrinw85 and changed WHX16 to WHX?

Anyone know the best route from Felton to Biglerville, Pa. Oh, never mind, I'll be there in an hour.

Terry... ascii code for infinity symbol is alt+236... or you can copy this one if you want. WHX∞ @WHX19

From Northern Va, around DC and into Maryland, you can find yourself getting into an HOV lane without knowing it. Some of them are next to impossible to get out of if you are not intimately familiar with the area. Right around Tysons Corner Va is the worst. When I go from my home in Maryland to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and back again, there is really no way to avoid that route. So, if I were coming from the south and headed to central PA, I think that I would use the 64/81 route as well. It's only listed as about 15 minutes slower, but in reality, it may save you a couple of hours.

Use Napa 1410 not a regular oil filter. The hydro filter is different then a regular oil filter.

I would like one . Thanks a lot. Hang it on the wall over the the bed , and wait for the the look

I gotta agree with the HOA... that thing is gonna need a set of swimmies, and a snorkel... once you get some real rain come down.

Will be in the mail Monday Richie. They are done but I forgot about them till I lifted one of the many sheets of paper on what I think is my desk.

Check the oil level to make sure the fuel pump is not leaking into the crankcase. Garry

Did you make sure you set the float to 11/64" and the drop at 1-1/32" ?? It sounds obvious you are getting excessive fuel it has to get into the engine via the carb so something is amiss there. Also make sure the splash gasket isn't fouling the float....

lol I can relate to this so much!! When I first went to the Big Show I only had 3 horses to take along and I thought, "I need at least a full trailer when I go down there". Now I have more than my trailer can hold and I have to make hard decisions as to which ones to take and which ones to leave at home.

I'm glad I know the way. My first time my GPS got me to Arentdsville and then the GPS just stopped. It showed the road ending!

I've been getting my wheels sandblasted and powder coated. $50 a wheel.

I had a frame from an 18 Automatic powder-coated for $75.00

Try 615 Narrows Road Biglerville, Pa 17307 Butch and see what shakes.

Did Jim @WHX19 fix those !......

There are 2 ways to go to avoid the RT #30 mountains. Take 80 to Youngstown catch 76. Take all the way to PA RT 997 follow south to Roxbury and all the way to Scotland and Interstate 81. Nice ride, tunnels on the interstate...ends up being about the same time as going RT #30 over the hills. The other way...80 to 76 and catch Rt #70 south into Maryland...take to RT#81 just before Hagerstown and head north. Both ways are very nice and Highway 997 is very good road through the Penn countryside.

I was advised to avoid DC at all costs and I wanted to minimize driving time in Maryland so I took 95 to 26 towards Columbia, then 77 to 81 into Chambersburg. There was very little time and distance difference and the scenery was great.

@19richie66 Here is the way I go 95 N to Fredericksburg , take 17 North , 17n runs on 66 for a few miles. Take Paris exit ( I think that's rt name. About 7 to 10 miles at 45 miles per hour , wine country , left at light ( still 17 ) to Winchester , rt to 81 straight shot to Rt 30. Takes me about 3 1/2 to 4 hours to BS . Stop a few times rest rooms . Old Man driving . I find it is a lot quicker the beltway , less traffic and nice country drive.

I would like one as well Terry. I'll have to pay you for shipping if you will.

Cool! Thanks my friend!

Someone with far more knowledge will confirm or correct but yes for a period of one year 1986 as an export model....

My kids Love Skittles—the candy and now the tractor with the cool emblem...probably helps that we have named every riding machine that we own! Keeps them straight to us anyway!

Thank you for the advice and I have to admit I'd like to keep it but I'm recently married and there simply is no room at our house to keep it. It was a dilemma...a nice tractor or a happy wife. I was surely going to make the wrong decision but luckily my wife was there to enlighten me..

There's my favorite 1276 again

probably shouldn't say it but if you have connections to old street and road signs they make great flat panels for projects

Easy way Rule of Thumb, Number represents 1" divided by gauge. ie. 16 gauge = 1/16". Those cabinet doors look like prime material to me, heavy gauge, galvanized or painted, great source. and probably priced right too.

EB, 16 gauge is about 1/16" thick. 11 gauge is 1/8" thick. the lower the number the thicker the metal. I would say 16 gauge for the cart is fine.

Well boys, this morning she walked right out to the Tractor and started it up and put the trailer on it and drove away like she thinks she owns it. And she didn't even ASK!! I believe this automatically gives me defacto proxy permission to buy another tractor.
