Picked up this 18' car trailer. Loved the powder coat red color (and no Uncle Jim they did not have lime green! at least in stock) The son dabbles in concrete work and we needed something just a little bit bigger looking into buying equipment. The logic was now we can haul it home if we find it! Plus, it can haul a few show machines on nice days. I will say after looking around and comparing what local dealers have, there was a huge difference in the quality. The bargain units looked like jr high welders put them together, and frames were skimped on a bit. Auction trailers were just priced right under new, I can't figure that one out. After you pay the price, buyer premium, transfer and tax it worked out to be little savings and no warranty. I ended up paying 15% more but got way better quality.

When Ford brought out the 9N in 1939, the stamping dies for the hood wasn't available yet. So, the first 600 to 700 9Ns had a cast aluminum hood, but they were painted gray in the factory. The rarity of the aluminum hoods, were were prone to crack, current owners have polished the aluminum to a bright shine and leave them unpainted. The video below (not mine) shows one of these polished aluminum 9Ns.

October 14, 1994, The Shawshank Redemption had a limited premiere in the USA on September 23, 1994, followed by a wider release on October 14, 1994; it initially wasn't a big box office hit but became a beloved classic over time.

Niece and her husband are visiting so put them and two WHs to work

Spent the day with Mrs.K while she had a total knee replacement. They used the Mako Robotics System that uses a preop CT scan to create a 3D image that is used to program and guide the robot through the procedure. She was up and walking 3 hours after the surgery. So far all is well.

Never seen that technique uesed to smooth a gravel driveway before, guess it works prety well.

Air used to be free at the gas station, now it costs $ 2.50. You want to know why? Inflation.

hello looking some info about thus model

Spent a few days gathering parts and painting. Put three coats of paint on the wood. Went out this morning and assembled it. Took it out front and did a photo op in front of the Halloween decorations. Used the matching Roper to move it. The wife threw in some deadheaded flowers to take to the compost while it was there. So it has already been put to work.

And SO much harder, too, IMHO. 👍

Have you ever considered making a ski recliner, could sell well for skiers with a broken leg.

I've heard of nail head Buick engines and shovel head Harley Davidsons but never have seen a "BOLT HEAD" engine.

I doubt that the grader blade would work on the 856 though it may, I've never seen a grader blade mounted to a 953/1054. Your 856 is a short frame and the 953/1054 are longer than a long frame, just have to do some measuring. The mower is a 48" and would be too much for an 8 hp engine and is too big to fit under the 856.

A man's wife said to him, "Don't you dare waste any more money on buying rum anymore!" The man replied, "Then maybe you should stop wasting money on your beauty parlor!" The wife, taken aback by the logical answer, said, "But I do this so I look beautiful for you, my dear.." To which the man simply said, "You see, I drink for the same reason too! So that you look beautiful to me!"

Thanks @ebinmaine I'll snoop around a bit. First results I'm seeing ship from the US of A and if I add up import fees, shipping and what not that amounts to a total of about $75,- I might try my local lawn and garden shop this weekend.. maybe they'll have something laying around.

It's hard for me not to speak up on this topic, because I have a degree in Geology. To the Creationists, you are free to believe what you believe. I know what the Bible says and have no desire to argue what is literal and what is not. However, the evidence points toward the Earth being "4.54 billion years old, with a margin of error of about 50 million years." And, evidence also points to climate changes being much more extreme at times in the past, to the point of sometimes causing mass extinctions. The problem today is, we now have us fragile humans all over the planet who are very susceptible to "minor" changes in climate and weather, relatively speaking. There might be very little we can do to nudge that trend one way or the other, I don't know. What I do know and agree with is that the politicians in the world love to blow things way out of proportion and have had a field day with the whole global warming/climate change thing. I do remember the claims that we were heading into another ice age. Maybe that's a longer term trend that is overdue at this point, but who knows? While I will agree that anyone, including Columbus, who sailed out of sight of land then crossed the ocean was taking some very big risks back then, I personally no longer feel good about honoring his "discovery", knowing what I know now to be factual. I agree that the renaming of things has been a real sticky topic.... I don't think there's any easy answer. Heck, I live in "Indiana" - should we rename it? I think that would be silly and unnecessary, but would be willing to listen to anyone who disagreed. What does annoy me is people in power renaming things, without consensus, for no other reason than to boost their own ego. That is totally ridiculous. I also agree that it's best for us all to try to get along and be tolerant of others' beliefs. There is way too much hate and abuse in the world right now, and I am firmly committed to avoiding perpetuating that, starting with my wife and my children and working out from there. "Being open to understanding is more important than the feeling of being right."

I find the domestication of dogs fascinating. They can turn their primal instincts on and off beyond our ability. It's no wonder they're such good companions.

I believe the grader blade will fit your 856, the tractor in the pictures has no mid mount Tach-A-Matic to hook the blade to. As others have mentioned, the blade alone is worth the $250 he’s asking for everything.

The first pic was giving me a stiff neck..flipped it for ya!

Finished my front weight set today.

You've just come to the most helpful Wheel Horse forum around. The choke and throttle levers and tread plate foot rest are found on the 1960 Suburban 400 or 550. The 400 would originally have a Kohler K91 4hp engine and the 550 would have a Tecumseh 5hp engine. The side of your engine looks like a Tecumseh with a starter. The on the 1960 model 550 the battery would have been under the seat. Very nice looking tractor. Rear fenders were an option. The missing belt guard helps slack the belt when using the clutch. They may have made some heavy wire fingers to help with clutching since it doesn't have the guard. That tractor would have what we call the 3 piece transmission which has a cast iron center section and flat steel side plates. The rear wheel rims look black like the rear axle seals may be leaking. These transmission are not hard to replace seals, and possible axle bushings

most interesting thing about this type of recovery , is that , a quick easy light penetrating oil clean cloth wipe down , at end of season , makes it pop with a clean clear shine , was just doing a fall , once over , looks like the day , I first did it , with NO EFFORT AT ALL , pete

Like the town of Quahog, RI - the setting for "Family Guy". While traveling for my last employer, I was asked several times If there really was a Town of Quahog in Rhode Island & if I lived near it!

I was told the Prison Building was in Lexington Ohio, next door to the sister Division of my last Employer. It was actually a State Hospital, I recall.... Correction - A retired State Reformatory, in Mansfield County, Ohio - down the road a piece... https://www.mrps.org/inside-shawshank/

Hhhmmm... Kohler powered?

Loved the book(s) and the movie. Great example of how a lot of people are judged by their looks or circumstance.

Great movie!!!

Set in Buxton Maine. Actual town, but totally fictional in setting.

Opie is ruff (pun intended) on the groundhogs but has never met a stranger and loves people. Everyone said he would have made a good therapy type dog. IDK if they would feel the same after watching him do battle with them groundhogs, they are by no means easy to kill.

Most can. Not ours. That's what makes her "special".... We've tried all types, sources and levels of training & correction. Cain't be fixed. But she's a wonderful house dog!

I hope someone gets it out of the woods for $250

I believe those attachments are tractor specific. The grader blade may be different. @953 nut would know for sure.

Got um welded together. Found some old aluminum siding and cut me a strip out and used thatvas a backer for my weld and it worked great. I had them tacked in 3 different places and just welded a1 1/2 to 2 inch bead rotatiing wheel to a different spot trying to keep heat down a little. Ran out of supplies (primer, Bondo, sandpaper etc.) and had to quit for the day. Opie took care of some business while we where at shop also. He is a groundhog killing mochine. This is the eighth one Ive seen him kill and he has probably killed more than that

Evening, Here is yet another Marketplace listing.. what model..what’s size deck could that be.. what’s it all worth?

Pappy holding my Mother .....and me?

Hello all - Any guesses on value of D200 C/W front end loader / 50 in rototiller / rear finishing mower deck & tire chains. Machine has three point hitch & rear PTO. All in operating / usable condition. 927 hours on meter. Thanks for your thoughts Cheers

Thanks Again for all the input on the Big D , waiting til weekend for present owner to send video of machine running / operating / in-action to better judge. Cheers

@sjoemie himself Interesting timing! Just a couple weeks ago I made a thread on a Kohler Magnum 8 HP cap. The Ariens part number in the thread should be available on the market for a lot less than the Kohler and you'll have a guage!

Just returned from camping at local lake. Intended to catch a few channel catfish but that didn't work out. Good thing we saved a few hot dogs for ourselves! We like to cook outside on these trips so the Dutch oven get plenty of use. The first morning's breakfast was store bought canned cinnamon rolls. We spice them up by adding a mixture of brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and a dash of vanilla to the bottom of the dutch oven and pour maybe 1/3 cup of sweet whipping cream before baking. It really helps the rolls. Sitting around we discussed adding the whipping cream to the small cheap canned buttermilk biscuits. The biscuits came our fluffier and with more flavor. Brother in law thinks we should try adding butter milk to the dutch oven. I almost for to take and "after" picture so a few biscuits are missing.

I was more thinking it was not about the find but the journey. We know people walked for thousands' of years in all parts of the world. So it is nice to pay tribute to those people, plus we need honor those making heroic trips. My goodness we can't call a baseball team Indians and have to say guardians. Someone said something about global warming, I look at this a little different, the earth is 4 million years old? So actual temp record keeping is several hundred years old? hmmmm Then we have the assumption makers that twist and turn the story, yeah it was running when I parked it! I don't disagree on trying to do what we can to make it cleaner and better. Hey I fix my leaks on the WH in promptly.

Can you show current pics? In all seriousness.... the more you move, the more you'll likely be able to. But you shouldn’t need to "thread through". This is how I ( the not small Bear ) gets on all my tractors... Or a Wheelhorse 200 series with a pass through design.

Decided it was in time to start the winter workers up from their nap. Both started reasonably easy considering they haven't run since last winter. Same gas in the tanks as when I shut them down and I put them away. That's why I run non ethanol fuel.

Worked on the hood today. Coated it with Penetrol. Starting to look better. Got to add some metal where they cut it to get the hood off, but looking better. Making progress. Dave

The coefficient of friction, area, and normal force the keys, right? Tread, chains, and ground condition determine the coefficient. Contact patch governs area. Weight is the normal force. They all must play together!

If you ran a tanker full of water into a tanker full of vinegar. What sound would they make??? " DUSCHE !!!! "

Beautiful pics Don for sharing.

I welded up one with, one without. The band made things much easier. Probably much stronger as well. But it's 3 welds all the way around. Two outside and one inside.

I bought blanks and welded the centers in. Easiest way to do it.

You may be a singular person but you have multiple chores to accomplish each one deserves a dedicated WH
