@dells68 Love the expression on his face. Looked like he could not believe that it was his. Great job.

Need to start planning Emory's 2018 Christmas Surprise NOW.  Then the last minute panic might be avoided. :) Or not.  :hide:

Your love for Emory shines through all you put into that WH and Emory,s love for you will be felt every time he rides it. After all "Love" is really what Christmas and Christ is about.

I don't know, he still loves (or did) to drive his "straight pipe" and the ranger we bought at the auction.  He really seems to appreciate them all!  Been working at Dad's farm preparing to clear trees above our barn site where I plan to build a new shed this spring.  When we got home Emory had to go look at his new tractorB).

 I checked to see if I could adjust the carb and adjustment screws are sealed off with metal plugs from the factory!  Might try to remove the caps and adjust the idle ratio a little.

Have you looked into adjusting the governor spring to calm down the surging?

A couple of my projects are waiting in line.  The 857 I bought at the auction will need some love to run, then a cleaning and clear coat.

No, I thought about it, but I don't know which way to go.  There appears to be several setting that are possible.

Elmer and Cecil are certainly smiling down on you two! Not the original Father and Son act, but the original Wheel Horse father and son act.

@dells68 great job on the tractor...looks like Emory was very excited on Christmas morning to discover it was his tractor...And the memories the two of you made while working on it together are something you both will cherish forever

My new favorite video. You know Dell, I remember when my sons feet dangled high on the tractor like that. Now there both bigger than me, the kids grow fast.To fast.  Enjoy this time, its so precious.  You did the best thing ever dad.   :bow-blue:

Sorry to hear you've been sick Fred.  Hope you're doing better.  Emory loves his tractor.  It was a great Christmas for him.  Nothing like being able to share our hobby with our sons!  Best time ever.  Emory keeps asking how long to the Big Show and if he can bring his new tractor:woohoo:!
