Guys from NJ that were at the BS came to it! It was a good show aside from the rain. Daytime was really sunny, hot & humid. Ate good that's fer sure! My main man Jacob @jeremi3210's boy up to his usual antics. A old bhind cultivator with a tecky snow blower repo. He even took his contraption in the parade and a couple of blocks down to A&W.

I concentrated on taking pic's of tractors that are not seen very often. Reo tractor These 2 Speedex were built in the same year. Bush Hog Work Bird one of the first zero turns. Shaw lawn mower. Mighty Might Gavely Westchester with a body by Studebaker. Estate tractor Wagner Little Giant John Deere Sweepster. JD's attempt to enter the gulf cart industry. Brillion Explorer Unsure ? Rugg Huffy Hawk Mayrath's with & with out a body.

What would the show be without you there?

July 14, 1968, Atlanta Braves slugger Henry “Hank” Aaron hits the 500th home run of his career in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Henry Aaron was born February 5, 1934, in Mobile, Alabama. The third of eight children, Aaron was a star football player, third baseman and outfielder in high school, and signed with the ***** League’s Mobile Black Bears while still a teenager. He joined the Indianapolis Clowns in 1952 at age 18 and helped them win the ***** League World Series. The next year, his contract was sold to the Milwaukee Braves of the National League. On April 13, 1954, Aaron became the last former ***** League player to make his debut in the major leagues.

You need a slot hitch or a Brinly. Just remove the pin, take off the spacers and it will fit right in. Looks like might need a lift cable or rockshaft depending on what you want to do. Not sure how/what is needed for a lift cable for a 160 but everything can be had at https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/ You may also have to lose the ball. A Brinly is best for a Brinly field plow. Slot adapters can be had for a slot hitch. I run a slot/draw bar combo on all my horses.

@Fj40z more pics of mochine would be helpful in seeing what your have or have not"s are. If you are missing the lift handle, rock shaft, etc. you may be better off purchasing a whole parts mochine...

More explanation is probably helpful. My idea is to run this up the side and staple it in place, a little glue near the cuts to make a better seal of course. I’ll run aluminum sheet along the walls and over the rubber. In my mind, it’s like building a shower pan. I don’t intend for it to be water proof, but withstand a strategic wash if needed.

I do a few rehab projects with grandsons each year...mostly decks, seat pans, few footrests, an occasional plow blade, etc.....some need more rust cleaning than others..if not very severe rust or pitting, then grinder, wire wheel, scaler etc often get job done. However, I did do some consideration couple years ago to buy blaster....Instead, I use a nearby fairly priced professional sand blaster who has done various projects for me... Every one of us has different considerations, but for me I'd rather have him deal with all the downside issues of doing the blasting than me. .... I'm happy dropping project with him and picking it up few days later. No $ cost for me to buy and maintain equipment, buy media, no mess, no labor, no sweating, no clean up, no health considerations, etc....and great perfectly finished beautiful bare metal piece

Others might be able to tell you for sure but it looks like you need a rockshaft to me I made one of my sleeve hitches. Even making it back around 2018 I think it cost me around $60-70 in material to make one. I also didn't need the rockshaft. Like mentioned you can get everything from wheelhorsepartsandmore. It's not really that easy to get the setup used for cheaper, because not that many people will get rid of those parts.

Almost forgot the Friday parade that ends up at A&W where we can all get some treats if we wish. Lets not forget Mother Natures gift. Around 4" of rain between Wed. and Thurs. night.

ebay- bakt4kids sells a couple of good kits depending on how much you want to rebuild. (no crank shaft).

This '58 classic will be sold at the auction. Ran when parked. Tires hold air. NOS grill. Or should I save my nickel and buy this one.

I love that Horse just the way it is! That muffler is to die for

Thanks for the pics, guys! That snowblower on the Gravely, was that built directly inside the town square of Osha, Wisconsin?

A C-160 should have came with a manual lift bar and mid mount rockshaft for a lift cable.

Are any of you guys going to be able to go see this as it comes through the East for the 1st time?? I've seen it a couple times when it came through Geneva and West Chicago, Ill a couple years ago. It is worth it if you get the chance !! This is worth seeing ...there is only 1. Go on You Tube and check out it going through the Feather River in the Rockies. Out standing for sure!! A schedule...

@sqrlgtr You may end up with the Onan when it's finished

Sure do see the odd balls there that's fer sure. I'll have to get my pics together and see what I got.

I just scheduled one of those forgetting that I had a do-it-yourself scope.

Check it out

this is what I see, both! Make that RR into a horse hauler w/trailer hitch for bucket trailer, painted to match. and shine up the the Wheel Horse and put it in the bed of the RR? How long could it take??????

Yeah that one is for your homeoscopy enthusiasts!

Gave away a round hood yesterday. Crazy, I know. It’s quite beat, and the engine went on to a better project. My buddy Aaron pinstriped Poppy for me back in the day and always does me awesome favors. When he mentioned wanting a round hood to customize, I figured this can’t be hurt too much more.

That is a pretty steep angle for splash lube engines do not do that for very long

For some reason the LED tail light on my 953 didn't survive the trip to the Big Show. Stopped at Horror Fright and picked up this groovy tail light for cheap. Even had a piece of steel the right color!

This morning I did disassembly and cleaned up everything for the new brake lining from @rmaynard and I took my old seal out to realize it’s wrong so I ordered the correct one (hopefully). I should’ve looked at the manual I have for part number from the beginning 🤦🏻‍♂️. So it’ll be a while. I just want a good brake and not roll to a stop.

Yup looks to have started out as a Lawnmaster... That face takes a bit of getting used to though...! The bug eyes & crooked smile!

Two days in a row with little human cargo headed for the beach...

Saw it today. Incredible to see it up close. RxR tracks come through property at work so we were able to get pretty close as it went by. Nice cause of area being private property nobody from the public was there VID_20260609_110952.mp4
