PeacemakerJack 10,670 #3 Posted December 31, 2016 Great topic Ryan--I would say that meeting you, @achto, @stevasaurus, and @WHX9, has been a highlight of my year. Pictorially speaking though... Started the year with Snow removal on "reD"! Here Judge is enjoying some seat time. A highlight of the year was purchasing Blackbeard from Todd for my youngest child Zac. Time spent wrenching with Caleb was awesome! Here he torques the head bolts on Blackbeard. Zach on Dad's Iron Horse! Met Dan and his awesome WH's at Symco this year. Zach and I on GhostRider at Symco before his new clothes. Hopefully Dan will post his classic pic of Zac and I plowing! GhostRider at My Uncle Bob's farm day with the new clothes! Berlin tractor show with Dan and Jim and some of their collection. The plow day at Jims was a blast as was time spent with our very own Stevasaurus (here on GhostRider) My sons loved driving some of Jims herd while there... Caleb tooling around! Judge plowing with GhostRider for the first time! @dtallon 's family was awesome to meet at Bluniers Plow day! These are are just a sampling of the great wheel horse times had by me and my family this year! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rp.wh 1,074 #7 Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) These are all awesome pictures keep them up!!! Here is more moment for my 2016 picked my oldest up off the bus for a tub ride at Jim's , with this suburban doing small garden plow Jack leading with Jim following and uncle Roger in the back what a fun day!! I also agree @PeacemakerJack one of the 2016 moment would have to be meeting you and your family, Also meeting @stevasaurus at Jim's plow day have to thank everyone even Dan for helping with silly questions and a very big thanks to jack for letting me take some turns on your tractors. Also a very big thanks to, he's my step dad but I call him dad @WHX9 for getting me into this hobby and all the advice, help and great times in the shop!!! Here is to 2016!!! also thanks to everyone else on this site, has been awesome getting to know you all and making new friends and the biggest thing learning from everyone!!

HuntzNSam 80 #8 Posted January 1, 2017 We picked up our first Wheel Horse this week - Hooray! I haven't driven one since the mid 70's. We've been working to make it ours, removing later add-ons and modifications, heading to a more stock configuration. We just got the stock drive pulley and belt on and drove up and down the drive and court, smiling all the way. I was all set to install the blower, until the brains (Sally) reminded me it would not fit the shed until we get rid of the old mower. We are digging our new 856 and looking forward to a WH 2017! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the Forum! So glad you found us! I was excited to see that you are located only about three hours south of me. You look to be quite close in proximity to a good friend of mine from the forum @stevasaurus he is located in Elgin. I really enjoyed reading your post and how excited you are to work on your 856 and put it into service. Be careful though, these things are highly addictive in the best way possible. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,911 #19 Posted January 1, 2017 Favorite show moment was The Dino on Wallfish's bike. My favorite show pic is my line up at our local steam show. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve is such a great guy and always makes one my top ten memory's of the show. From his first year winning of the raffle tractor to last year's "ride" and every year in between. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #21 Posted January 1, 2017 It really was a great year, when you go back and look at all the pictures. Unbelievable!! I think I can find quite a few moments from this year...and as always the good times I had with all my old and new friends through the year. One high light that really stands out...staying up half the night (after the drive that day to the Penn Show) with Aldon shooting the breeze and finishing off a bottle of Jack. Excellent start to a great show. Some of the group at the Mentone spring Swap... The day Lane dropped off 4 transmissions and the next 3 months repuilding those, plus 2 more and doing the "so you want to save that 3 piece transmission" thread with RacinBob and others. Jim's plow day was a great day this last year. Golfing with the guys at LaSueur is always one of the top days of the year. And a special plus on this hole for me...I chipped into the hole from about 150'. Thanks to everyone for the Great Year. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to bed but slept with one eye open waiting for the wail of the sirens to drift in over the hills. and then the flashing lights in my windows. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #23 Posted January 1, 2017 Most of the guys started out the night with us out there Mike. I think that had a lot to do with us not wanting to call it a night. We were too wound up to sleep. What a nice time and what a nice way to start the Big Show. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
