cruisnblue48 783 #1 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I know y'all enjoy kids riding Wheel Horse tractors. After all, they are the future to keeping this hobby going. My grandchildren visited a few days ago and I was finally able to get some pictures of them on my favorite Wheel Horse tractor. This is the 1962 552 that by dad bought new when I was just six years old. It took me most past four years to restore which I converted into a model 502. My grandchildren Liam and Abigail enjoyed some seat time in the saddle for the first time. So, this would be the fourth generation in my family to ride this tractor. My grandson Liam is just about at the age I was when my dad bought this tractor new 53 years ago. So, here you go. I hope you enjoy these special pics of mine.

cruisnblue48 783 #4 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) You know what was really funny about Abi sitting on my dad's Wheel Horse. She's not quite two years old yet and she had never sat on a garden tractor before. I hadn't started any of my tractors yet that day because I was afraid the noise would scare her. She sat on there, smiling away with one hand on the steering wheel, the other hand on the shifter knob like she somehow knew exactly what to do... hmmmm!!!
