Wheelhorse got the frame painted

There’s also this guy in Hiram, Maine. Plus he has a bunch of C160’s!!

The only guy I ever knew that had a Hula dancer in the cab of his snow chucker.

Did you check with one of our vendors? A to Z tractor supply is probably an hour west of you.

Got one tie rod done, my son came over with his girlfriend's car (she said it's making a clunk clunk, click click sounds,) well the ball joint was toasted, front rotors and pads, oil change. So didn't get to make two. The steering wheel was brown rusted, well I stuck it in sonic cleaner was evaporust, came out pretty clean.

I’d like to add that “The Duke” was my inspiration for me to get a tractor with a cab and two stage blower. I remember him posting those videos here on RS with his “Snow Chucker” and thinking that I need one of those!! He had all those gadgets in the cab😂 and was the first person I ever saw add rubber paddles to the impeller to get some more chucking capability! So Rest In Peace Bob, your talent and love for these machines did not go unnoticed. Your fellow Wheel Horse enthusiasts will never forget you ❤️ God bless you.

If you remember, last spring I posted that I was trying to cultivate morel mushrooms. For the past four years, as i find morels, I washed them and threw the water in the area pictured below. I have found 5 to 7 morels the past two years. Last year I expanded my seeding and used a slurry recipe that I found on the internet that utilized karo syrup and ashes added to the morel water and then diluted with water and poured over the ground. Just a few minutes ago I checked and there's 4 morels. They pretty small and are found just left of the wooden fence post. I've left them in hopes of them getting a little bigger. We have been awful dry and I have watered this patch a couple of times from my well. Suppose to rain off and on this week. I think I'll go out and cover them with an aeriated plastic container and maybe give them a little drink.

My favorite memory on Skype. Bob was a big Michigan guy. Had Michigan rugs, blankets, flags and even toilet paper! One night on Skype was me , Duke, Jim D, @stevasaurus and @C101powerplower (Koen) Of course the topic was Big 10 football and Koen made a sarcastic comment about Michigan, Well Duke went nuts!!! Jim D an Ohio St. guy was sitting in one of those old metal swivel desk chairs with the big recliner spring. He started laughing and reared back and flipped the chair over! He completely disappeared behind the desk and his head phones went flying. Never forget that night!

I have had a few text with Duke over the years. He did a beautiful job on his 520- H Snow Chucker after the C 120 was sort of under powered with the 2 Stage blower. Inside the cab it looked like Las Vegas at night. We both were members of the Masons and Shriners and served as officers and worked our way up to serving as Master of our local lodge's. Quite a guy with many talents as well. I remember he was telling me he had a very bad experience with a Chiropractor and he was never really the same. We never met in person but I consider him a friend. Rest in Peace my brother.

Rest in Peace Bob !!

Although he wasn’t active here the last few years, he was at one time very active. I’m sure plenty of you remember The Duke. Bob Davis was only 68. RIP @HorseFixer

Neighbor's '69 Charger looks pretty good now that it has a proper shade of red and some fresh vinyl!

The 1077 is a negative ground system.

Hi GWest & JoeM.. BINGO.. the Muffler sounds solid with the Tap test, but when tapping I bumped the Muffler Shield and Ting there it was.. so Kudo's to Joe for a good ear calling the muffler Ting. With the engine not running with just a very light tap on the shield rings the pipe like a little bell. Oh, I'm so happy.. ;-} Thanks a lot. goes to prove three heads are better than one. Here are pics of the shield and contact point.

May Godspeed be with your family and friends. I’m sorry for your loss.

So sad to hear. I really need to finish the front end loader he started, I’m so close. He was one of the first few semi-local guys I met in this hobby, and we talked for about 2 hours it seemed while I was picking up a tiller from his house. Momma wasn’t quite impressed with our ability to never end the discussion, and neither were my young kids in the Suburban

If I have spare stuff you guys need, you're welcome to it.

GT: Nice job on the refit on the steering shaft. It pays to have the right tools. A big up.

Hi all, started working on my 856, ended up rebuilding the engine and while waiting for parts started working on steering, lots of slop. Pulled tie rods, steering wheel and shafts. Front of frame was wollowed and shaft end worn. Steering block got two bushings and steering wheel shaft cleaned up, installed upper dash bushing, reinforced bushing with steel puddy and new lock collar. Ordered hiem joints for tie rods and will machine new rods when I get parts. Don't forget the green high temp grease.

Good info Eric.

To all Vietnam Vets and Vietnam Era Vets, thank you for your service. Today is Vietnam Veterans Day. I was reminded of this by an email to pickup a free sandwich at Mission BBQ today. Just walk in and show a copy of the email or your credentials.

ISAVETRACTORS was company in Maine but is closed if that's the company you mean? Or are you referring to an individual ?

Yes he did.

RIP, Robert.

My brother n law was a marine in vietnam. He will not talk about it. What he has talked about was stuff he said no one should ever have to see. He also is battling cancer at the moment.

How are you going to hold the glass? Will you be gluing a block of wood on it for a handle?

I did similar... With the need to counterbalance the mass...

Causing a torn rotator cuff. Ask me how I know!

It seems like the oil traveled about an inch, then stopped. I finished the oil job on this but have not let it soak in the sun much yet. In due time.

That’s exactly right! When I looked at the spare I saw it and said son of a gun there it is! Thanks again for sharing this, it saved me from wasting even more time 👍🏻

All part of owning an early gear drive deck. Post what you are looking for in the "Wanted" section...

Had to go watch my Daughter cheer tonight, but before we left I got the left fender all tack welded up, and the holes drilled to mount it. Inner rail mounted, and upper brace on. Inner brace installed after getting the fender all tacked up, I pushed it outside to clean up, so I took a few pics. I figure by the time I have the fenders and footrest all welded up, I'm going to have about 25 or so hours into them, but I think it was worth it, I hope sometime this weekend to get the fan guard all built.
