Hey Fred here's something you may or may not know . If you want to mention someone's name in a post and you want them to see the post use the " @ " in front of the users name . The name will turn blue an a notification will be sent to the person you've mentioned . Like this @Big_Red_Fred . Did you receive a notification ? You should have gotten three , one for a "like" another for someone " commented " and the third should be "mentioned you"  on your post . Just a useful tool to use .

 

Thanks for mentioning this Jeff, or should I say @ACman?  I was trying to remember how to do this the other day, and I couldn't, but I was too lazy to look it up.  Thanks!

Hmmm...  Your screen name didn't show up as highlighted in blue when I posted this, did I do it right?

I don't know the model but it looks to be a survivor  ! Thems the best if you ask me  .

 

@tunahead72 sometimes it does not work for me either . If I don't see names popping up as I'm typing I backspace back , and start over .

Like this? @ACman

 

Looks like I got it right this time, just had to choose your name from the list that showed up as I was typing.

 

Carry on.

What is this Red boogie wagon called with its 16hp

Could be a 1973 16 HP No-Name,   Model 1-0440,   hard to say what is original and what has been changed by a previous owner.

10-4 on the big show, i was dodging rain drops working on C125 like a Mad Scientist , under a old canvas i scrounged up at work  

Id invite everyone for a Parade, Ice Tea & fireworks

@ACman  He never returned my text on serial # , he had a hard time speaking English LOL, but im still trying for it

@Big_Red_Fred, that's not a "73" 16 AUTO, the dash tower was thinner on those up till 77 i believe. so that would make it either a C161 or a SK486, what ever it is it looks good. Keep it dragging them home and before long you will have more then me, in a lot less time I may add.good luck.

That would have to be an aftermarket add on, they didn't come on the market until '68.     

 

WHEN eight-track tapes hit the shelves in the latter part of the Sixties, it was seen as a godsend.  All of a sudden, you could listen to your music collection in your car, or out-and-about with the new boom-boxes.  There were even rumors it would completely replace the vinyl record.  Yet, just over a decade later, the humble cassette tape was able to drive it to extinction.  Its heyday lasted from 1968-1975, and by 1980 the poor eight-track was in history’s dustbin, a sort-of laughable derelict from the Seventies.
