Just about ready to go

Hanging at the hotel with Karl on a stick, Steveasaurus and his wife .

Locked, cocked and ready to rock! The WI local circle boys are coming! @Achto @PeacemakerJack @Coulter Caleb of course and @stevasaurus who is a member of the local circle but we don't tell many about him!

What was I thinking...when I agreed to remove my new neighbors 100+ year old maple tree. The limbs are over 24" dia. and the stump is over 60" dia. The 20" Stihl and the 22 ton TSC splitter made about 3 cord of firewood from the limbs. This is what I need for the stump.

Ready to roll! No space left in the truck cab, camper, or trailer!! Emory is chomping at the bit!!! Might recognize the hat - @limited12 Made him promise to wear it for him this year!

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS! Today is the big day for us. Caleb, Jim, Dan, and myself have been looking forward to this for weeks. Jim has been to the Big Show in the past but this is a first for the rest of us and we are looking forward to it. We will be camping on the grounds and so we will be getting completely immersed this year in what this show is all about! @Sparky has graciously decided to pick up Coulter Caleb’s birthday present—the new to him 854 (mentioned elsewhere on the forum) and we will be looking forward to checking that out mid day on Friday. My my daughter made Caleb and I some special shirts for the show. Yes, I will likely buy a couple of shirts and hats but nothing I could buy would replace the labor of love by her. the back... And Caleb’s... The front is cool too but I don’t have a pic of that yet. Well done Claudia! So—I need to get through the project this morning and complete it so that I’m ready to roll this afternoon...

Narrowed wheels shod with 700 x 12 ags. Wheel weights made from Land Rover Freelander disc/drum rear brakes. Completely filled with lead now. 53lb each side.

Should be in bed right now but had to finish 1 more thing. 18 x 24 .063 aluminum. Had to figure out something to put on it. Soon to be East Bound and Down.

Got rubber?? Got flashy wheels? Well we wanna see em! Rusty to chrome, deep tread to bald, weights and chains...yep post them up as well!

Here’s an “on the road” picture just for you @ACman... that Ram really looks big with a Pano pic!!! Just about to Janesville, WI...getting close to “bear country”...

Not much of a load this year, couple tractors to ride (not for sale) and a set of pre-sold weights. Now why would I load my machines staggered like that ? Any guesses @PeacemakerJack or @Coulter Caleb ?

Anybody recognize this rig? Why I do believe that was @19richie66 and Skittles! Nice meeting you, well, kind of on I81. Skittles is looking mighty good! See you in a little while!

I get about 14 mpg, so...about a gal. to get there and a gal. to get home... but I'll be making three trips....

Them izz called expensive meeetss!!!

More "Old School". I'm bringing it to the Show to sell if anyone needs to complete a set. It holds air because it has an inner tube.

Just gotta love the 27 inchers on the 953s.

For those of us that can't get there for various reasons, will there be a way to enjoy the show? If only from afar. I keep telling myself "next year when things calm down" , but I think I'm going to plan to go next year no matter what. Wife is going to Italy to visit the oldest daughter and grandbaby in December. I think I've earned a trip to Pennsylvania.

What I’m hoping for is to see a sweet MTD for sale by the roadside on my way to the show...just being prepared

I can't seem to see why

Yup, I believe that is the one and only! Nice to see all of us getting together for just a few days to forget our daily worries and have a little fun and fellowship!

Just now put a new set of Deestone turfs on the 416-H. Ordered them on Sunday, they arrived Tuesday morning. Great service from simpletire.com

Mine are ugly but functional. She's a worker!

Rat and 520...

Going old school on yah here. Real Wheelhorse tires. Future wall art.

On my way...,pic from first stop for road refreshments.

Modified scooter wheels on trailer hubs with 3-50 x 8 tri ribs. Rear weights finished loaded.

Thought I was the only one up but I just remembered you guys are an hour ahead of me. Only have one of those signs. I rarely use the heavier .063 blanks of this size. Saw it in the corner of my shop and thought I would rattle Squonks chain. Sure enough he was the first to respond. He requested the WH MAKES IT KOHLER SHAKES IT stickers about 5 years ago. Thanks Squonk. Time to hit the road fellas. Safe travels everyone 🙏

Figured I would start a thread for all of us headed to the big show this year. I started to load up the tractors on the trailer. I was just able to squeeze the trailer in the barn so the machines will be out of the weather until we head out. Post up pictures of your rigs as you start to head out to the big show 2018!!

So for tonight's festivities my Honey wire brushed the toolbox area / seat base. Then she primed that and also put a coat on the inside of the hood and a second coat on the trailer hitch. I wire brushed a whole bunch of bolts and then did a wash-out and threw a gasket or two in the carburetor. Here's a pic of the transmission half in its new coat of red.

Loaded with bear... and a little cub.

Locked and loaded

At first I didn't believe that a rustbucket like that could run Then I found out the hard way that it runs as smooth as it would brand new Nice survivor tractor@WHX20

Mrs Rules said she will be posting some new 2018 big show photos/videos up here again this year... https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23wheelhorseforum&src=typd

16.5 avg but I’m not towing a tiny house. little 3.7L V-6

Some days feel like the clock is broken, others go by so fast you find yourself wanting to hit the “pause” button. Today is one of those days filled with excitement for us and it seems time can’t go fast enough. I finished my morning trim project and cleaned up the site by lunch. Got home and decided to cut the lawn so Kelli wouldn’t need to worry about it while I’m gone. We ran the two diesels with Caleb cutting on the Case 224. We had the whole 2 acres cut in about 50 min!!! Now it’s time to clean up and load the truck. Soon we will be headed for Jim’s...

I usually post some show pics in the below section and so do other members. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/13-wheel-horse-collectors-club-show/

loaded up and ready to leave in the morning

This work day can't get over fast enough!!!

Me three on the sign Vinyl..... ok 'nuffs a nuff just everybody load up everything they got and we'll sort it out there!
