    The Wheel Horse bug definitely bites hard! Lately Ive been encountering deals that are just too good to pass by. Even if it means having more "scrap" laying around than usable tractors. It does make for some fun projects though! Here are some pictures of some of my recent pickups. Ill post more as I get it sorted through.

    These tractors are addicting. It doesn’t run yet. I need to drain the old gas, rebuild the carb and free up the throttle and choke cables. Then we are going to blast the yellow paint off of the wheels.

    Finished the refresh on my 1960 suburban 400, except the rims and tires. Then introduced it the the others.

    Sold all three to one guy today.. Sad to see them go, but... One of the reasons I’m selling is because I’m thinning my personal collection down to custom, modified only. So, I’m selling all my “stock” tractors. Ilk still have a few “flip tractors”, but hope to get down to about 4 I’m my personal collection. We’ve been up around a dozen for a year now.. too much to keep up with.. I think these are going to a good home.

    Great work! My grandfather was a furniture maker and finish carpenter. He made a lot of custom trim and mill work. I’ve got an old plane of his he loved that you might find interesting. It’s a Stanley from the late 1800’s my Pops called it a coffin and boat makers plane. You can adjust the beam to cut around radiuses. When he’d join custom trim that cased curved windows and doors he use it for that a lot making fine adjustments before sanding. It’s got the original japaning and finish just as it was last he used it. I’ll keep it and appreciate it till I’m gone.

    Went to a persons house that was advertising a wheel horse snow plow for sale for $50. He stated it was usable, but rough. I arrived and looked at the plow, He stated I could have the plow for $50, or whole, NON running tractor and deck for $75. It took me about 3 seconds to get my wallet out and give him the money. Hope I did out ok. Its a 1100 Special. Im sure I will be full of questions. I find myself looking at numerous websites, for wheel horse items. Im sure there has to be a cure, but Im not sure on what the number of tractors will be the cure. LOL

    @rjg854, Here's the project I mentioned in the Thread about my Honey's 657. My Honey and I are both big believers in keeping our equipment covered up and out of the sun, rain and snow. In the last three years we have amassed two 10 cu. foot yard dump trailers, a log splitter, I built a log pole style trailer... Two snow blowers, lawnmower... And the herd of horses keeps growing... We'll soon have three up and running and probably 5 before spring. It's time to make more storage space. Last fall we stuffed the log splitter under the back corner of the shop and this spring did the same with a snowblower. I've decided to elaborate and improve on that plan. Here's the back of the shop "before". Note the poor condition of the building. We'll be replacing the molding around the windows and reapplying a moisture barrier sheet. There are 5 vertical stands across. We'll be removing the center one and the one behind it and digging out the dirt until the floor joists are 48" or more from the ground. There's about 35 inches of clearance on the left (shorter) side right now. We're then going to hang this shed roof unit from the building and support it with whatever is handy at the outside corners. It measures about 71" front to back and 103" wide. Trina found a couple places where rodents had made themselves a new doorway under the right hand window so we cut out the bad/rotten sheathing and she sliced a new piece and installed it under the window. I've been pretty lax about keeping the mouse traps set this summer. Obviously that needs to change. We stapled on the first layer of new barrier this evening. Here's an under shot of the digging and shows the missing vertical piece. When the whole project is done we will have a space under the building that is 48 to 50 inches high, 80 or so inches wide, and almost 8 feet deep. The new roof covered portion, outside of the shed building, will be approximately 8 feet wide and maybe 70 inches deep? For a year or two the roof will be solid but the walls will probably be flexible material like a sheet of Typar or something.

    Good score!I have a bad feeling that the only cure is a dirt nap.Don't leave them together at night cause they reproduce like rabbits.

    After taking a couple of weeks off I got back to work on the Ranger this week. I've got the block ready to paint, just waiting on a new pan gasket to get here. All the engine tins are painted so I hope to get the engine mounted this week. Once that's done I need to get started on the hood, wiring and final assembly.

    Took a little road trip to grab these today. The paint is faded on the blower but its in really nice shape otherwise. The tiller is solid and should clean up OK. Look forward to running these on my C-120.

    I just did a re-glue on a piece that was late 1800s to early 1900s armoire. My next project will be a craftsman style rocking chair with leather seat and armrests.

    Thanks, Richard. Building this for my grandsons has sorta got me hooked on these little Rangers. With a one year old granddaughter I just recently got another Ranger for her that I'm starting to collect parts for. Of course hers will be a slightly lighter shade of red.

    Loose cam / linkage on top of the hydro will cause problems with the motion control lever not being able to advance the hydro to full speed. Look under the seat for the linkage. If it's loose, you've found the likely suspect. Tighten it up so the cam doesn't wobble, so the motion control will work correctly. Then chain the tractor to a tree or solid object and see if the wheels will try to bite in and pull, or if the transmission slips. That will tell you if the transmission is good or not.

    Awesome stuff! I like to do metal and wood myself, but I’m more of a rustic type. The table in this picture used to be my late grandfather’s workbench. I built the rails and legs out if cedar fence posts. I’ve done a couple shelves around the house too, mainly with my chainsaw. Your work surely takes more talent and time!

    Well I don't have a hood ornament so I decided to fix that. But in a unique yet original way. So started with a logo and stretched it out and then printed it out and transfered it on a block of hardwood which I used a scroll saw to cut out. Worked away at it with the drill press to shape it, not the most efficient way but using the tools I got. And then after working away at it with a utility knife and a x-acto knife and sanding. And finally where I'm at right now with primer.

    Yes these are great tools which you can't find anywhere else anymore. Kind of like these tractors are very well-built and last a lifetime. I have tons of pictures and several pieces I have built which are all my babies! I have a thriving business here at the Tool Crib🗜

    I miss my 5xi tractors! That looks like a nice clean one. A clue that a snowthrower/snowblower was used is the worn side panel decal. The chute direction crank wears a white spot into it.

    The bench top in my shop is 2 X 6 yellow pine and it is supported at the back by 2" angle iron bolted to the wall and the front is supported by parts cabinets and a couple of brackets bolted to the wall. Corded power tools like saws-all, porta-band etc. are in the roll out box and extra engines and transmissions are on wheels. Nuts, bolts and washers are in bins and drill bits, taps and specialty hardware are in parts storage totes.

    Thanks for the great birthday wishes. Of course I had to work all day. We've been framing walls on the latest build, a 3500 Sq ft custom home. The humidity finally broke and the sun was out with a very nice breeze out of the NW. So it has been a wonderful day. And now I get a 3 day weekend And BTW if you haven't seen it in the thread about what have you done to your , the wife and sons went in together and got me this great seat for one of my Commandos
