My 1956 wheel horse trailer.

Bought this spring, Big-Tex 6.5x12. Easily handles 4 “C” series machines.

The tub cart that was given to me. I finally got to do a little work so I got a couple of my big show goodies installed on the Suburban. The cast 61 footrests and the rear hitch. I think that's an AH-60

This was mine for a while.

This is one of my favorites.

A little back yard parade.

Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river!

6 x 12 Indespension 3-5 ton.

My only WH trailer....retired from any heavy use.

My 7’x14’ PJ trailer.

My wife on the 855, sister-in-law and two cousins in the cart. The kids really love riding in the cart!

Does this trailer make my tractor look big?

Smoke 'em... if you got 'em.

Finally my other brand yard trailers...these see all the abuse!

More pics from the show. This bike for two was a very neat piece. Steering was accomplished by one person peddling fast than the other.

Start it off..... working girl.👍

Worms eye...

When this is the trail. Turn sideways to the left so the green bar is horizontal.... my phone won't. THAT is a trail !! Another section... Please feel free to share your own !!!

Trailer been here since the show 3 years ago.

And then to move the tractors from here to there

Here's my high rise model.

What an incredible show and an awesome bunch of people! So happy that I made the trip and plan to be there again next year. Enough good can't be said about job Bret Esse and his crew do to make this a premier event! Thank you Bret and everyone else involved! Looking forward to next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victory!!! 6 whacks with an 8lb sledge and it slid down. One last frustration the woodruff key was stuck. used Johnnymags method heated and quenched 3 times and the chisel got it out

Horse hauler.

Wide load.

Getting close. Need to swap from tires, repaint front rims and install front wheel weights. Some other touch ups with paint (details) and call it done👍

Here's what I have so far. Ready to paint and just add wood!

Been using the C-120 for mowing, my first use of the B-80 as a worker. Can you believe that's ONE workbench,,,previous owner built that in the basement fifty years ago.. I procrastinated last 20 taking it out .... My original plan was to fluff and puff and paint the Wheelhorse.... I am now beginning to appreciate the well cared for patina !!!!

What a fantastic weekend. I've been attending this show since 2014 (3rd annual) and it seems to draw a bigger crowd every year. So nice to be able to see some friends from around the region and meet a few more new ones every year. Seems like it goes by so quickly, I realized when I got home that I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do. Luckily Lane appears to have that one covered! But I did spend more time walking around, looking and talking to people than usual too. One of the fantastic things that Bret Esse does in running this show is to change the feature brand every year. This brings in a large variety of heavy collections that are different every year, so you really end up with some variety of tractors and attachments. In my opinion, attachments are something that are really starting to make the shows great. Everyone has seen most of the tractors for the most part. Yes there are the occasional rarities or oddballs that someone hasn't seen before... but the attachments... to me that makes a show. Show me what these tractors did for people. They were built and marketed as such universal tools, and there were an innumerable number of aftermarket vendors for so many brands. Anyway... I did take a few pics of some of the things I found interesting that I'll share. Looking forward to next year already!! The forklift attachment for these AC/Simplicity tractors was fantastic. There were four there (3 originals and 1 replica) Got to see one of the originals demonstrated. The Danuser post hole digger A full service trenching tool.... Tractor with loader and belly blade... and rear mounted Hawk-Bilt Groundsaw. Just an example of a new show trend of loading up multiple attachments.... A Level-Lift mower, Blitz-Fog insect fogger kit, Side-Mounted sickle bar mower and rear mounted Mighty-Mac Chipper/Shredder. Many tractors this weekend carried a compliment of several attachments like this. Simplicity Legacy Anniversary Edition... just a sharp looking tractor. An original Struck Mini-Beep... you don't see these very often. This is one that's on my bucket list. I've seen two different ones at this show over the past couple years. Nice little Brillion snuck in the middle of a bunch of Sears and Jacobsen built Town and Country tractors. Looked like a nice little survivor and one you definitely don't see very often. And the last of my pics are a couple of this great REO display.... this is the REO product line before they were bought out by Wheel Horse. Just a great collection to look through and a nice display. Thanks to all the members that could make it and looking forward to seeing you and more back next year!!

Them those new OSHA - Approved boots? The one's that are designed to look like bare feet?

change that tire.......which one sir ?

Devil's Tower - 2017...

I'll put in a plug for myself here:

I can’t stand them... or vinegar. But we make us some pickles, and I’m all over ‘em! Don’t ask...

I pick this Ranger up a few years ago with the intention of building something my grandkids can drive when they get a little older. I took it apart a while back (a long while back) and it's been sitting on the shelf. I've gotten rid of the Tecky and the mower deck, I have a K161 pull start Kohler I'm gonna put in it and I'm planning on adding a second clutch pedal so the kids can reach it as well as a set of running board style foot rests to keep their feet out of the back tires. I've also got an 8 speed tranny here so I'm going to see if I can make it fit too. This tractor is gonna get a rattle can paint job, it's just easier with my limited shop space and the kids will likely scratch it up anyway. I took a few parts to get blasted yesterday and got those back today, I think I'm going to mock up the frame, tranny, engine and seat pan before I paint those pieces. I'm going to need to add a 3/4" rod to the frame for the extra pedal and some kind of bracket for the foot rest and probably have to add a mounting tab to the drive belt cover so it'll fit the Kohler. I picked up a set of tires from Miller Tire and have those mounted, at this point I'm still painting the rear rims so I won't inflate those tires until the paint drys.

My 6.5x12 PJ trailer and one of my dump carts

Doubt ignition switch has anything to do with it. How long was it sitting before new gas and battery?? i suspect new gas moved some crud inside the carb and is blocking a passage. Sounds like a carb cleaning is in order.

Some neat stuff there... you've gotta good eye Dan.

YESS

I have these on all my tractors with wheel weights and it makes a world of difference.

So close!!

@farmer There you go again with that dang teasing! Haven't been teased this much since my college days, but that's a different story ... 😂. Can't wait to see what you have planned!

Anytime your kids are sick enough to go to the hospital it's just plain scary! Whoever said being a dad was easy LIED!! I'm glad she is on the road to recovery Kevin!

This was a great score!! While I was off getting ribs ready for supper, Jim stayed at the auction and was able to win the Swisher for me. Scored it for $55 . Awesome job, Thanks again Jim!! Some one had to inform my wife about the new purchase before I had a chance to. All a sudden I get a text "I thought that we agreed on no more tractors? " to which I answered " It's a lawn mower, not a tractor ". It's all good though . It was bought as a non-runner but after a little prestart checking over it fired up on the first pull. After a little more tinkering we had high & low speeds working, as well as the deck. Then a bunch of us had fun driving it around & burning doughnuts with it. It was such a hoot to drive around, I was like a kid that just got a new bicycle . When the community test cruises were over I found a spot on the grounds to try out the deck, I was fairly impressed with cut. Should do even better after I get the blades tuned up. As mentioned Wheel Horse will be the feature at this show next year (2019). Take note of the looooong roof in the back ground of the above picture, this will be the barn for the feature tractors in 2019. It sure would be great to be able to fill it with 's. I'll be adding more show pic's as soon as I can.

East bound and down! I’ll see you guys by noon!
