I got a photo of the morning flag ceremony And I also got a photo of Kevin wrestling the block of ice cream

June 27, 1973 "Dream On" by Aerosmith, featured on their debut album “A power ballad” written by lead singer Steven Tyler, was their first major hit and became a classic rock radio staple.

My wife thinks I'm doing something questionable. I found both my "straight from the horses mouth" and they were perfectly fine as well. I also found all our documents safe and sound, and all the photo albums were dry and undamaged other than having a bit of smell of course. We have been very lucky all things considered.

Thank you very much. I think my daughter set something up but I have no idea what yet. But thank you so much for the thought. Greatly appreciated. We did find out today that they are approving a camper on site as opposed to putting us up somewhere else. This is a huge blessing because we will be at home instead of driving all over the place. Given we have so many critters to look after, this is awesome!

Here is the Friday 2026 Red Square group photo. Be a part of the Saturday photo today at 10:00am.

I was too busy having fun to take a bunch of photos but I had a blast as usual. Special thanks to everyone who volunteers and all who travel in to make this show so great!👍This community of people is unparalleled. VID_20260626_114003401.mp4 VID_20260626_204748710~2.mp4

Please share the site. Tradegy is hard to comprehend. May the good Lord ease you and your family’s burden.

@squonk had a great idea, why not include a 20th anniversary RedSquare banner in the Big Show Raffle! One lucky person going home with a #3 of 3 20th anniversary RedSquare banner, will that be you?

Fallowing the thread I added above will allow the safety switches to remain actives with no major wiring changes. Looking at the battery 103990 switch next to the magneto switch 103991 I decided to see what would happen if a 103991 (Magneto) switch was placed in a Battery Ignition tractor. With the exception of a frustrated person wondering why nothin works the outcome would be rather harmless. In the OFF position the R and A terminals would be connected Ground, no big deal. In the RUN position the I, A and R terminals would be connected, nothing would happen but no harm would come of it. In the START position the S an I terminals would be connected, once again nothing would happen but no harm would come of it. On the other hand, if this situation were turned around and the 103990 (Battery Ignition) switch were placed in a Magneto tractor things get a bit more interesting and a whole lot more expensive. In the OFF position none of the terminals are connected and all is well. In the RUN position the B, R, A and M terminals are connected and magic smoke will be released from the Magneto. In the START position the B, A, S and M terminals will be connected and the engine will turn over but there will be no spark because the magneto already is toast.

Well then, that explains my multiple personality disorder.

Due to the threat of rain, many people left Friday evening, disappointing a lot of Saturday show goers. For those here today, the show goes on

I’m one of those that decided to head home last night. Not only did I not want to show up to a rainy day I also knew it would be a fraction of what the show was on Thursday & Friday. And I was able to drive home at normal highway speeds on dry pavement pulling my trailer, much preferred over driving in the rain. Hope those that stayed enjoyed what was left.

So in the end, it wasn't the condenser so much as it was a coil without a resistor, or enough resistance and that was causing the points to burn up. The fact that the ground jumper for the shaker plate broke at the same may or may not have had any bearing on the situation. This was my first time around with a battery powered ignition, I thought a coil was a coil, and was running a new coil as a matter of course. Turns out not enough resistance, point crapped out in about an hour With the help of 953 nut, Gwest and several others I was able to learn about battery powered ignitions and get it back running. thanks everybody

I like mammaries.

My home caught fire this afternoon. No one was injured (one cat had some smoke inhalation) but the house is not habitable. Shockingly, my garage area and tractors was the only part that recieved no damage. The fire was in the attic, and only two rooms were badly burned. Unfortunately the rest of the damage came from putting it out. Ceilings were pulled down and tonight when I left, whatever wasn't torn down was falling from all the water required to put it out. Not sure what comes next but I ask that those of you who believe will keep my family in your prayers. It's gonna be tough for a while on us just having somewhere to call home. And thank God for first responders. They were on site 2 minutes after I called 911. Amazing individuals! And thanks ahead of time for the prayers. The fact that my family is safe is a blessing in itself!

I've been working over a C101 recently, the original paint was in very bad shape, I wanted to do something but also wanted to keep the original look. I chose penetrol and was very pleased with it, the paint is still ratty, burned out and mostly missing, but it now has kind of a matte sheen to it. Home depot or Ace hardware will have it in the paint department

Man my leg fell asleep just doing the group picture yesterday. And I'm a lot younger than those guys.

Penetrol Flood

Saw a member last night about 11:30 pm (not sure who) on Rt 78 in NJ. Horse on the trailer and headed to the show! I was on my way home from work and wishing I could have brought the old C120 to the show but on call duty this weekend is keeping me home. Awesome pics guys and have fun !!

Its always nice to have whacky memories from every show. This year was the wrong restaurant, getting detoured then turning the wrong way ( Thinking of you Waldo.) Then getting grease on my favorite shirt. Had to utilize @stevebo's on site 24 Hr laundry service. Dawn Power Wash and a run through his 5th wheel speed queen made it look brand new! Only took 1 pic today ( Thursday) but hope to get more tomorrow. Can you guess who the Masked Man is?

Here is the flyer for this years show. Membership is $11. You can join online at the website or at the show. Looking forward to seeing you next year!! The more the merrier.

I saw this joke post on FB… ”I recently read that the average person owns 2 vehicles. I am 4 people” I have 3 1/2 tractors so by that logic, and that most people have 1 for mowing. I’m 3 1/2 people?😁 I think….

Glad you enjoyed the show, don't be shy about joining in on any conversation, we were ALL first timers at some point. We will be posting the Friday and Saturday group photos with numbers assigned to each person soon. Please respond to that thread so the whole Red Square community will know wjho you are.

Terry @Vinylguy made the banners, chances are he would be willing to take orders for them. You know how he loves to support our hobby.

I had one for 20-25 years before the move to Florida in 2000 when it was sold in the auction. After coming back up here in 2017 I started looking for another one. Finally, after running an ad, I found one less than 15 miles from here. A guy bought it in an auction and after realizing seeing that it was so rusted solid he must have figured it was unsavable. I didn't see it that way. Here's the thread. Sickle Bar Finally - Implements and Attachments - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum If ya need one you'll know. Mine runs at about a 45° angle about 90% of the time. I keep the briars that intrude on the paths out back clear. The Wheel Horse model doesn't angle down but a very few degrees. I've heard the Haban will go more but I can't verify.

I like the relay method - simple, compact, and easily removed if another K Series engine were to be installed later on....

I did the relay from K to Magnum. I would do the relay 10!10 times

It will fit just fine. Here is a thread I posted a while back that shows how to alter the wiring.

Sounds Accurate 😁

if you flip that hitch over, the hitch ball will probably ABOVE the axle centerline. Pulling something attached to a tractor above the drive axle centerline encourages the tractor to flip over backwards. Be very very careful if you use it this way. Leave the toung jack an inch or two above the ground - that will act as a wheelie bar to help prevent a back flip. The hitch I built for my 14-8 places the hitch ball above the axle. The front end gets really light, really quick. This is encouraging me to make a hitch to mount to the front of the tractor.

I've got a ditch on my Ky. property where a sickle mower that could angle down would be really handy - except for the rocks that are in the ditch.....

Made it to the show today, it’s the only day we went. I talked with quite a few people, everybody was friendly. I recognized a few other folks from pictures on here but I didn’t want to be that guy and barge in when they’re busy or talking with other people. I did buy merchandise and signed up for whcc, got my sickle bar from a gentleman, and drove the tractor around with the warden for a while. I also got in the redsquare group photo (I think). Good overcast day, the food was good and priced good as well. Now I know what to look forward to if we go next year, I appreciate all the info on here as it helped me at the show. Will be heading back to our 6 hour drive first thing in the morning. I see a lot of rain for tomorrow’s forecast. I will post pictures I took on here when I get better service tomorrow.

Finished and mounted receiver hitch today. Worked out great. Will flip hitch over and it will be just about perfect height for my trailers. . I had mentioned having angle iron turned differently then the one @76c12091520h Brian Badman sells but pretty sure either way will work with the hydro filter on the Eaton 1100 rear.

Glad no one was hurt. You'll be in hour-by-hour then day-by-day mode foe awhile. Does anyone here on Red Square know how to create a Go Fund Me Page?

June 26, 1974 The Universal Product Code (UPC) is scanned for the first time to sell a package of Wrigley's chewing gum at Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio.

I'll be going next year! Had another show overlap this year, but I'm excited to meet some of you 's and strike some deals! (P.S. I'll be bringing an empty trailer!)

They will work just fine ,only raises the front about 1" with 8" wheels. I have two 312-8 with 6" spindles and 8" wheels.

Whole other can of worms, but many of us are very much pro "ethanol free" on fuel. Personally, I put the first gallon in a vehicle to ensure no ethanol gets in the gas can. I don't care what anyone says, ethanol is not good for carburetor equipped anything.

I get the need for speed when rains coming in. But I enjoy mowing and the seat time it gives me, so a slow WH is just fine with me.
