dells68 7,494 #28 Posted February 6, 2016 Going to head out around 7:00 in the morning to pick her up. Talked my dad into riding up with us. Thought it would do him good since we lost Mom. Been a while since he has had the chance to go very far from home. Losing her has drawn us even closer. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy who is selling it is really nice and even said that if I get there an it's not what I expect, that I don't have to feel obligated to take it. I feel pretty good about the purchase. I'll send you some pics late Saturday night or Sunday morning after I wake up from a coma induced from all the driving. Aldon, I'll be passing through the Roanoke/Christiansburg area on my way. You don't have a good front blade that you'd like to part with really reasonable do you? OOPS never mind, I thought I saw on your profile that you were close to me here in VA, but I see NY on your avitar. Hope you enjoy your new tractor, the seller is a stand up guy and will treat you right. Have a safe ride up here to Richmond 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #31 Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks! I got a good feeling talking with him. He wasn't in a hurry and really took time to talk with me. Not many really nice folks like that around. I'm into old VWs, antique tractors, and wheel horses and the folks who fool with these types of things are a lot nicer than many we run into in our daily lives! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldon 4,826 #35 Posted February 6, 2016 That tractor looks even better in light of day with 3 generations of family surrounding it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,549 #36 Posted February 6, 2016 Sure does look like a capable machine! Good luck with the new toy and have fun with the boys doing so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ztnoo 2,298 #37 Posted February 6, 2016 Looks like a mower deck in the background......is that for the GT 14?, because I seem to remember you saying no attachments in the beginning of the thread. Maybe it goes to something else the seller has. Nice looking machine you picked up. Having a parts tractor around is a nice luxury too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
limited12 360 #38 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) It was nice meeting you and your family today, hope you get to drive Emorys new GT-14 Edited February 6, 2016 by limited12 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #39 Posted February 7, 2016 Tommy, it was very nice meeting you and your family as well. Guys, if you get a chance to talk with Tommy, you'll see he's just like the rest of the horse heads I've met - truly nice and knowledgable. He even gave my son a wheel horse collector's club hat, key chain, and lawn and garden magazine. We had a great trip and look forward to playing with our new machine. Yup, Emory has already laid claim to it, but I'm still the primary stakeholder in this one. He kept saying that he had a great day!! Below are a few pics of the machine, Tommy, my dad, and son and one pic of Dad, Emory, and some goofy looking guy with a goatee . I've also put in a pic of a set of original wheel horse tires and rims for the back - plenty of cracks and checks, but still very nice. Both of the other rear sets are Carlisle and in pretty nice shape. Oh yeah, I took the hoods off to keep wind from grabbing them on interstate. Gotta go clean out a spot in the basement for the new girl. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadapples 6,981 #40 Posted February 7, 2016 Nice tractor, nice people, and where is gas $1.57..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #41 Posted February 7, 2016 Love the pictures and the horse, best of luck and thanks a million for sharing. Sweet sweet sweet. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #42 Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks guys! Yeah gas is $1.57 just north of Lexington, va. About the same here in southwest va. I'm sure it won't last long and will go back up - haven't seen prices like this since the college days. Going to enjoy the GT just as it is now, as I'm in the process of completely overhauling Emory's 61 Suburban that I had been promising to finish for the last two years - he's so excited that I'm finally back on it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,494 #44 Posted February 10, 2016 I've said it before and I'll say it again - just good folks. I belong to a local tractor club and everyone is the same - great group of people. No offense to anyone, but lots different than most car clubs I've been around - no competition, just good fun! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to completely agree. Great folks here, absolutely. I am a member of a few other forums, (RVs, bluegrass music, IMDB, and some others, and this is the best forum of all. After hanging around here for a year or so, I became a supporter today. I've been intending to do it for a long time. I've also had experience with the car clubs, shows, meets. Most of them are pretty good folks but there are all kinds. I've been in bluegrass music all my life and those folks are just like family. Red Square is that way too! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #46 Posted February 10, 2016 Just figured out how to upload more pics! Here is one of Emory at our tractor club's summer show parked next to one of the biggest tractors at the show! I also uploaded a pic of him on my other toy, a 52 ford 8n. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
