June 10, 2002, A man was arrested and charged in the attempted murder of a police officer after driving into a patrol car while attempting to flee from sheriff’s deputies. Soon after, police discovered that he was already a wanted man. He stole a Krispy Kreme doughnuts delivery truck, police who pursued and caught up to the vehicle said he had led police on a 15-mile chase, leaving a trail of doughnuts behind. The incident was the subject of nationwide media attention and, as it involved cops and doughnuts, kept late-night comedians busy for several days.

We plan to do a Red Square 20th Anniversary group photo on Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27. The location will depend on the weather, if it is a nice day we will gather near the entrance to the show field (AKA Squonk's Corner) and in the event of rain we will move into the display building. Times are yet to be determined but there will be plenty of advance notice and announcements on the public address system. Plan to be a part of the celebration.

Originally it was red, someone has slapped that blue on it for unkown reasons. Easily made red again though.

Just finished cleaning off the winter cob webs, changing the oil, sharpening the blades, and replacing the air filters. Ready for the grandchildren. (1967 T1067 and 1982 SK-486)

I though Bob is the chief cat herder? Looks like Vins RJ took one to the gonads for not complying.

Whoever is planning on organizing a picture start practicing herding cats now!

This past weekend we had the 15th (ish) UK meet. Around 35 horses from around the country. A few custom ones - you can’t have too many and 10 round hoods, which is a record for us here… no idea where they come from! My own basket case made it, and then the pull start broke on the first day leaving it bricked! 😭 here are a few pictures

Or leave it and call it The Smurf

I picked this up at a consignment sale with the intention of fixing and possibly putting in an engineless 552 or something like that. Anyone know what this would have been in with the plug in electric start?? I was thinking maybe a tiller or snowblower? My wife was way too happy about this purchase lol

I'll be sure to have on my George Washington costume in celebration of America 250

I’ll make sure my hair and makeup are on-point

Looks like The Big Unit @ebinmaine owned it ...

Also, notice that Randy @rjg854 was able to get down on his knees and get back up again. Lot of us could ten years ago but can't now.

If the price is right, I'd bring it home with me. Get it operational first, decide on the paint color later.

The photographer just needs to pick a time and announce it, if people want in they’ll be there. Plus I think it can be announced over the loudspeaker system there

Wrong color but it looks better than most I've found. It most definitely can be brought back to whatever level you want it to be. Like the blue? Service it up and run it. Wanna make it look better than the day it left the dealer? All up to you. Saving them and using them is what we all like to do.

Can keep it blue too if you are fond of it. Only rule is no john deere green. But Red really is the best color for a tractor. If you rattle can it, the common color a lot of us use is Rust-Oleum Regal Red, can also use IH red.

Kevin, I know you have a well deserved reputation for being an accident looking for a place to happen, BUT do you need five wheel chairs?

I just made my own. Heavy as heck so no downforce required. @Lee1977 Don had an old DOT wear bar that I cut a 56 inch section from. Worked awesome!

Here he was twenty years ago when it all started, Karl is on the right.

Mine home built also built from a 60" blade cut down to 48" Its a drag type. The extra 4" each side helps when spreading dump piles of dirt or gravel. It just has a pin you have to change for the angle. The existing holes on the blade determined the length to center the blade.

Saw this on youtube, 2026 show. Lots of Wheel Horses, which made me think someone on here may had a tractor showing in this event:

Looks like a "Caption This!" I told you down in front! Get down!

Looks like a "Caption This!"

Interesting picture on that brochure. What years did they use the plastic fender? What year is that brochure?

That holds true for most Fraternal Organizations too. But get the word out that there will be a standing vote to raise the price of beer at the next meeting, they come out of the woodwork......

8ntruck: Your welcome. Always good to get to the bottom of things. I used a small duel wire clip tester to find the problem. No more saying what the heck is wrong with this.

@Thegearhead0324 , pick any spot you want, just as long as you don’t pick mine!😂 Kidding, totally kidding I’m usually up in the show building. I’m not sure if I’m bringing any tractors this year or just stuff to sell?

Here’s a mugshot from last year’s show on my 312-8. I set up my blue canopy just across the gravel road from the Hospitality Center.

Are you ready to take the pictures? All we need is a willing photographer with a good camera and a bit of cooperation from the weather.

My first time at the show this year, I’d really like a sticker, that picture helps I’ll try looking for you on that Saturday before I head home.

Some cases size doesn't matter

Went out for a test drive.

Here ya go Joe. Now ya can find Me. Oh, were looking for Karl.

Under ideal conditions perhaps this is correct. But conditions are not ideal with the pulley designed for a B belt and the belt tension changes as the play in the Attach-A-Matic allows movement. Keep in mind if the belt is adjusted tightly it will be supporting the sub-frame.

We are using a P218 with about 775 hours. At about 700 hours, it got serviced with: thorough cleaning under the shrouds and the cooling fins, de-carboning the combustion chambers, adjusting the valves, carb cleaning (3 times!), filter and oil change, air filter, new spark plugs, and gaskets. Subsequently, I have replaced the muffler as well. I am confident that with continued regular maintenance and regular operation that we’ll get to 1,500 or more hours. Nous utilisons un P218 avec environ 775 heures. À environ 700 heures, il a été entretenu avec : un nettoyage en profondeur sous les caintreaux et les ailettes de refroidissement, la décarbonisation des chambres de combustion, le réglage des soupapes, le nettoyage des carburateurs (3 fois !), le filtre et le changement d'huile, le filtre à air, de nouvelles bougies d'allumage et les joints. Par la suite, j'ai également remplacé le silencieux. Je suis convaincu qu'avec un entretien régulier et un fonctionnement réguliers, nous atteindrons 1 500 heures ou plus.

Or anywhere near a well or septic system...

Both blades are too light for anything but light grading IMHO. A cast Simplicity blade works much better.

What if I am not good with complicated concepts like left and right?

NO ... make the trip... Pullstart is good at tieing down you can come with him

UPDATE 06/09/2026 We finally got her running! Replaced points, coil, spark plug and spark plug wire. Setting the points was quite touchy but finally got it. Received PTO clutch plate worked great. Got the mower deck cleaned up and attached. She is cutting grass. Thank you everyone for your help! I am pretty sure I have a Frankenstein wheel horse. model number on tractor is 91-08K802-9748 8319 which believe had an 8HP. This unit has a 16HP. Thanks for identifying 1986 as the engine date. Any idea what the mfg date is for the tractor?

YES. To oversimplify it, the top one drags and the bottom one pushes. I've been told by quite a good many people that the bottom one should only be on a tractor that has Hydro lift and can be controlled easily. Because they have much less propensity to float over the top of whatever you are working on, that means they also have much more and propensity to dig into whatever you are working on. You want the top one. The drag style.

Glyphosate. Reapply 6 months later. Use common sense (wells, PPE, pets) when applying.

C-160 all came with Piston to piston Sunstrands with only an internal parking brake. (external brakes appeared in 1978 I believe). I like Suntrands but most would say the Eaton 1100 series is better...also newer. You could try to run a belt from the hydro to a running tractor parked behind it you have to put a twist in the belt to reverse direction. But all that will show is does it work at all. No way to load test the tranny. Putting an Eaton into a C-160 will be a project as the motion control mechanisms are very different. Les C-160 étaient tous équipés de transmissions hydrostatiques Sunstrand (à pistons) dotées uniquement d'un frein de parking interne (les freins externes sont apparus en 1978, je crois). J'apprécie les Sunstrand, mais la plupart des gens considèrent la série Eaton 1100 comme supérieure... et plus récente. Vous pourriez essayer d'entraîner la transmission hydrostatique par courroie depuis un autre tracteur en marche placé derrière ; il faudrait alors croiser la courroie pour inverser le sens de rotation. Toutefois, cela permettrait seulement de vérifier si le système fonctionne, sans offrir la possibilité de tester la transmission en charge. Installer une Eaton sur un C-160 représenterait un projet d'envergure, car les mécanismes de commande de déplacement sont très différents.

I predict that the most sought-after item will be the one you looked at and left home because you convinced yourself no one would want it.
