I took my time when I picked this up in the middle of the summer. It’s going to be my winter project so I decided to tear it down to the frame and clean it. Also go through one part at a time on assembly.. It’s never gonna be a pretty tractor.Or a show peace but it will be something you can use at the shows or just riding around the house. I’ve always wanted this model but I never could pull the trigger on one.I hope you enjoy the pics.

Adding a loader takes you into uncharted waters, so to speak, when it comes to the design of the OE frame. You are adding weight and localized stress that were most likely not accoumted for. Take your time - fix it once, fix it right... My

I agree that college is not the best route for everyone. My wife and I took the approach that some sort of education or training after HS would be likely, preferably leading to specific expertise as well as knowledge of (and insights into) the wider world. And it would not be free. So we planned accordingly.

My family and I rented a canal boat on the Erie some years ago. Great fun and we all learned quite a bit. A few years after that, I had the chance to ride my bike from Buffalo to Albany, most of it along the Erie Canal pathway that had previously been used by the mules, pulling the barges. But the most fascinating lock that I’ve been through, was on the Saranac river in the Adirondacks. It’s very small, manually operated, andonly large enough to accommodate two or three canoes, but by having the lock, we were able to avoid a half-mile canoe carry around a rapids. Thankfully, there were plenty of smart people in our history!

The BBT aka Calendar Production Professional aka Trina is looking for tractor pictures! She has decided that this year's theme is going to be "multiple tractors". Looking for pictures of GROUPS of tractors at events they have gone to.... But all pictures are welcome. Home Herd pics, etc. Your own tractor needs to be in the photos. Label them if possible so we know who owns what and maybe even what model it is. Meet n Greet. Plow days. Big Show. Any kind of local events. Whatever you have. Post them up!

Hey Guys ya know it must be something about wheelhorse that bring the best out in people thank you all so much, not a better bunch of guys could be found 👍

I've watched it done but never been through personally. Songo locks between Sebago Lake and Long Pond. Only about a 4 foot differential. Very interesting to see.

Last year, we, my wife and another couple from the mid west, spent some time on the Erie Canal. Very interesting and my first time to pass through locks. Some take-aways for me was how quickly the locks filled and lowered. 2. There was a private boat passing through the locks. If I understood, there was no charge for their passage. 3.There is one place where we drove under the canal. I am amazed how the builders were able to predict the fall in elevation needed for the water to flow at the speed that I suppose was desired. I realize that cultures built canals many centuries ago but I found the Erie Canal quite interesting.

Definitely a good idea

I think I will add a thick plate like in that picture and double up the sides as I'm going to mount a front loader subframe on it.

Agreed. This particular frame will be used for the new "C160-8 Super Heavy Duty" chassis for the Wally Digger Backhoe. On a stock frame for my own C160-8 Cinnamon Horse I added a piece of angle iron to each side.

I disagree - the plate goes on the inside - not between the frame & unidrive. Longer 3/8-16 UNC fasteners are needed - length TBD by the plate thickness.

No, was an 8 that came on a C-81 I picked up in the spring.

Don't have group photos but this one is a group upon itself.

I'll throw some into the bucket:

953s on the straight and narrow. part of my herd fighting over the right to be first on the trailer.

Doesn’t meet the criteria really. Hopefully I can get it out and another tractor to take a new one
