Bigfish 146 #1 Posted July 25, 2016 Picked up my first sign today at Dennis Equipment in New Castle IN. I visited with Mr. Dennis and got the VIP tour of his facility. It was a great time. I also picked up a much needed extension bracket to put the snow/dirt blade on the 520. 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigfish 146 #5 Posted July 26, 2016 Thanks. Not sure what im going to frame it with. Probaby some 1 x stock and face it with some of the old barn siding I have. I have to keep it safe for the next week till the pole barn is finished and I can hang it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whfan74 2,015 #8 Posted July 26, 2016 It doesn't need to be fancy. Let the focus be on the sign. Here are a couple I framed up..... I love and have been blessed to have a few signs. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdleach 525 #9 Posted July 26, 2016 Would like to have a sign or two myself, but haven't ran across any. That is OK though, the biggest kick I get is when I hop on the 312-8 to mow. Aways puts a smile on my face. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whfan74 2,015 #14 Posted July 26, 2016 1" x 6" if I remember correctly. I didn't do anything real fancy. Also wired in a switch on the outside to make like a little easier. I also used some 90 degree trim to hold the plastic in place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedHorse54 578 #21 Posted July 28, 2016 A year ago I went to go pick up a sign that was still on the original dealer building. One of the light up ones. $100 I was gonna get it for. My dad went up there, it was pretty high. All he has to stabilize himself was a rusty pole that the sign was held up on with a rusty chain. We didn't want to take the chance of the chain breaking and him falling, so we passed until we could find someone who would do it for us. We found someone, went back, and the owner said he doesn't want to go through that again. I was dissapointed, it's not every day that you come across a light up wheel horse sign for $100.

Those are some very nice signs Scott, they don't pop up too often, especially in the shape they are in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
