Sparky-(Admin) 19,286 #3 Posted September 21, 2014 So Geno, I gotta ask?? What's your "Grand plan"? I thought I saw you post awhile back that you had had one WH for many years and just a few months ago decided to collect. So here we are a few months later and you keep haulin em in....at an incredible rate! Are you gearing up a long winter of restoring? Or are you planning on flipping a few? Maybe start a WH parts yard like Kelly has? Or are you just shooting for a massive herd? I'm just curious what, if any, your WH goal is. Mike....... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #4 Posted September 21, 2014 You're right Mike, I only had 1 as of 3 months ago. Actually I started this looking for 2 others, one for a snow blower and one for a blade to do the lot and drive at the shop. Then I learned about all the attachments and how they could be very useful to me, or others including my customers who always try to buy mine. The more I learned and saw, some sort of obsession set in, I can't explain it. I really am addicted to I'm sure a lot of it also is that all I have done is work, eat, and sleep most of my life and now I have finally found something that I really enjoy. I also really enjoy my time here on the board as well, whether it be trying to help or just having fun. The great people here make it even better and I can't wait till we get things in order enough to start going to some shows! Then there's also the OCD. I've fixed and sold a few already, also many of these will be restored and sold as soon as the snow hits with a blade or blower. Then next spring with a deck or tiller or whatever someone wants. Won't make a lot of money but it's sure a lot of fun. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

km3h 543 #12 Posted September 21, 2014 Gino I am getting very jealous. Every time I come to Red Square, I find you bringing home another horse. Good thing you are buying hay and oats to feed these critters. The rest of you family would starve. How many is that now? 28 and counting? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #13 Posted September 21, 2014 Geeze... you're never gonna finish that trailer at this rate. We actually spent some time on it last week at night after things got quiet. I will update that thread in a few days. It's gonna look awesome. looks like this one to me.... May be. Gino I am getting very jealous. Every time I come to Red Square, I find you bringing home another horse. Good thing you are buying hay and oats to feed these critters. The rest of you family would starve. How many is that now? 28 and counting? 26 I think, See I'm doing good! As long as I don't count the parts and parts tractors that I could build 5 or 6 more from, or the other ones I've bought but haven't picked up yet, or the snowmobile, well that doesn't count cause it's not a tractor.

19richie66 16,824 #22 Posted September 22, 2014 Glad you are not near Florida....... hard enough finding them and the parts for them. Although my dad managed to round up quite a few. Ill have to put a camo net over them so you can't see them with Google maps, lol. Glad to see at least someone is getting them and doing something with them. Nice score!. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
