    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Hopefully, if everything goes according to plan I'll be able to drive my 854 shortly after school because all I've got to do to it is finish making the ignition wire, put the seat on, and put the left rear tire on. However, I know how things are and a 30 minute job will turn into three hours.

    My parents had boats growing up & my uncle had campers so we would always go camping at the lake together. Typically my mom & aunt would tow pop up to campground sometime Friday. My dad & uncle usually showed up after work with the boat. I remember piling in station wagon with my sister & cousins, plenty of adult drinking, trailer mirrors clipped to fenders- Lol. One time I unclipped the top of trailer. We got on freeway & trailer raised up! Let's just say that Friday night I paid the price! I then started tent camping at age 17 again. Bought my 1st Sea Doo. My girlfriend would lie to her parent's bout where she was at for weekend. We would go to the Lake Erie Islands camping & jetskiing almost every summer weekend. Once I got married ended up getting a pop up which I really liked. Easy to tow, etc. Later moved to a hybrid trailer w/slide. (pictured) By that time I was a single dad w/full custody of my kids but we still went camping at least 2x a month. Kids are grown now but still talk about the fun times we had camping. Girlfriend & I have considered maybe getting a pop-up.........

    Oh yes of course. That's the vehicle we've been using to get up there the last two or three seasons.
  7. National Checkers Day is on September 23, also known as “Dogs in Politics Day,” and commemorates political canines or candidate pooches, First Fidos, or Revolution Rovers. Checkers Day has nothing to do with the popular board game; rather, it celebrates Richard M. Nixon’s famous ‘checkers’ speech on this very date in 1952.
  8. This is a video I made especially for my brother and sister in law. He watched, and asked what kind of oil. I specifically did not mention, so he would engage and ask!

    Welcome @Will89-B-1 once we get pictures or if you find the tag with the model number, we can move things along real quickly from there. I hope you enjoy the site. There’s everything you’re gonna need about wheel horse tractors right here. No need to look anywhere else. And also, we have a good group of vendors if you need parts on this site.
  12. Fuel line, sediment bowl outlet directly to the carb. That line is short and just suspends. Not a bad idea to put a fuel filter in there too The choke is just a direct link wire from the lever to the carb. no conduit Throttle cable loops from the lever towards the hood stand and goes to the carb from the bottom

    So that has four-wheel-drive? What does it have the ground clearance that you’re talking about?

    Are you buying a truck for this or are you gonna use your your car?

    Absolutely. A LOT of our camping is way up in the Great North Main Woods and surrounding areas. You NEED four-wheel drive and good ground clearance to get in and out of some sites.

    Love the travel trailer Eric and it's about exactly what we are thinking about. Maybe not the BH model though. Pros and cons there. We've camped all our lives and had everything from tarps draped over the open rear end of a station wagon to the latest one we had, a 38' triple axle, triple slide fifth wheel. It was an apartment on wheels but the best memories are the tent camping and the smaller travel trailers. We do like the idea on the interior conveniences especially as we get have gotten older. One story always come to mind. It was in the 80's and we had a new 25' Nomad BH. It was great with the two little girls. One day I was talking with some coworkers when one of them, Fred, decided to get on his soap box about 'wheeled campers'. He was a surly guy who got on a lot of folks nerves with his ranting and he certainly got going that morning. WHEELED CAMPERS AREN'T CAMPING, HARD WALLS, INDOOR PLUMBING, AIR CONDITIONING, IRRITATING THIS, IRRITATING THAT.....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. I let him rant on a while and finally spoke up. Fred, you know what really irritated me one time? What's that? We were at a state park in southern Indiana one time. We found out the hard way that the voltage was so low that the microwave wouldn't pop our popcorn. Now......that's irritating. BTW, microwaves don't like 80 volts.

    Eric, I noticed on the floor plan. It has a shower. Also that’s pretty cool that should serve you well. Why do you want to do an axle swap are you going on really rough roads with this meaning potholes and rocks?

    Pavlov's bear... they know what a cooler signifies, so a perfectly clean one will attract them. Dirty oil from previous campers won't attract them, but is one of the many many reasons I'm glad I toured our National Parks long ago...
  22. Not super rare, but equally they only surface once every six months and there’s a queue waiting to grab them! I managed to acquire a suburban 400 from a young lad who bought it then realised he couldn’t do anything with it! Had a very large Briggs engine fitted, a VW Beetle steering box and too many hacks to mention. he nabbed the narrow rears and left me with the rest! gearbox full to the brim with water! Interesting stretch chassis to take a Briggs engine. lots of chassis patching! rolling..... making a new hoodstand steering gears - same size and ratio as the original - but will outlast them! looking more like it onto that gearbox it was a mess, all the bearings were gone! they had chopped the bottom of the casing for some reason nearly together - amazon packaging to the rescue as a gasket done - with a modifed C series shifter onto the brake drum - I turned down and old cast pulley. reamed the inside to 3/4" all done - just the pedal and linkage to sort.... Ewan very kindly fired up the forge and made me a pedal. new brake/clutch pedal in place - I thought a bigger bush can't be a bad thing! donor Clinton engine didn't spark - home made puller did a reasonable job. Points cleaned up and all connections clean - we were in action! didn't have a pull start either - so made a start cup and used a new tecumseh pull start finally made two footrests to match. Hard work in the press, but a modified bolster chisel did the job! Finished - just needs the right steering wheel and hood!
  23. Hood on and gas tank is ready to be put on that's tomorrow nights deal does anybody have a picture of how they ran the fuel line and the throttle and choke cables to the motor
  24. Only had a few minutes, so I stuck the tail light on and tested it.
