Theory Of A Dead Man - ***** Came Back:

Craig...All I can say is you and I need to hang out and listen to music and drink beer....we have the same taste in tunes !!!!!!! Robbie Blunt on Lead guitar.....one of the most underrated Musicians of this era!!!!

Hey Jim.....Where did you get this picture...LOL Uhh, hmm, let me, mmm, no, wasn't there. I think it was, nope, not there either. Huh, It escapes me. Oh ya!! On facebook right after you posted it. :thumbs:

Wanda back in the day!!!!!!

He did a couple songs with Wanda Jackson......the Mother of Rockabilly....that are awesome too.....Hmmmmm Maybe I should post it.....LOL

Leonardo would have painted the Sistine Chapel that way had he only known about 's. But you wouldn't have three arms! That's a great pic,kept me smiling!

Excellent pictures Duke! Love all the people ones! I found one however that look awfully suspicious. I have forwarded the photo to the appropriate personnel for futher examination and will report back

Watch out for that Steve! Looks like he likes to play footsie! :jaw:

Before the Wheel Horse show back in June, I was looking for an original seat for my Commando 8. Although I didn't find what I was looking for, I was sent various pieces of seats, which included several seat pans. Among the pans that I received was this one, sent to me by bowtiebutler956. When I went to the show, I looked around various vendors for seat parts that I could make a correct seat for the Commando. But while looking, I found that parts for the 3-piece seat were more available than parts for the Commando seat. So I purchased a pretty beat bottom cushion, several ripped covers for the top cushions, a foam insert to use for a pattern, an adjusting knob, and so on. I took the seat pan to my powder coater, and just picked it up today. Here's the result. After working on the cushions and upholstery for the last couple of weeks, I finally have my coveted 3-piece seat. Now I have a dilemma. The seat looks so good that I don't want to use it. Maybe I will just sell it and buy another seat from Northern Tools. :hide:

The things fathers do for their kids!!!!!!

The land rover Curiosity landed on the surface of Mars this morning. The first picture just came through... :ROTF:

First day of pic from the pageant of steam in Canandaigua N.Y. Feature tractor Minneapolis Moline.First couple of pics are from our flea market site. The rest are from the seat of my trusty 704. In search of the unusual. There are some cool things like a ride on reel mower,gas powered washing machines and a David Bradley Tri-Trac that runs.

Thanks to my son Nick ("wh_702") this was delivered Sunday night: It didn't take much to get it running & driving Monday afternoon, so we figured it was worth trying to clean it up: Nick returned today and we "tinkered" & cleaned a bit more. Naturally we had to test-fit my homemade grader blade : This is what I have been waiting to try for years...... an RM-425 on a round hood: :text-thankyoublue:

The little yellow guy in the picture fell over when he heard the price .

A very special thanks to littleredrider, squonk, and amcrules00, for their prompt and accurate diagnosis. Yes, it was the rubber fuel line! Actually, I should have known to check this, as I know the increase in ethanol content can really be tough on old rubber that was not intended to be exposed to it. New fuel line and the 854 runs great again! Very impressed with the website!

I could do this all day long...it's you, and TJ that keeps me going Joe.

Thanks Matt. It's getting there slowly. I guess it's all down to what kind of work needs to be done on an 'orse as to how good your shop needs to be... If you get slightly carried away with a build (like me) then things like a lathe come in handy.... Then again, every one should have a lathe, such handy machines The vid's and picture will keep on coming, just maybe a little slower than they have been. Slow is the only speed my body works at at the mo. 3 years eh... How time fly's when your having fun You may have a point there Matt.. Meet you in the middle and call it a "mini saga" That's 3 days of your life your never get back.. Only kidding. Thanks for taking the time to read through it all. Sorry guy's yet another small update, I'm just very short on energy at the mo. Anyway, with all six spacers for the axles made, it was time to see how the chain clears the bolt heads now.. Yep, that's enough space. The sprockets only sit 2mm proud of the axles, nowt a thick washer won't solve. At long last the skateboard wheels finally turned up. A bit of trimming is needed but they should make good chain guides. This is a first for me, turning a skateboard wheel on the lathe. The original plan was to cut a groove in the center. But today I decided just to make them a smaller diameter. An invisible Pete seen here having fun on the lathe. And that folks is where the build stands at the end of play today. Other than..... Happy birthday to this build thread.. 3 years old today.. A slice of cake for Pete.. A slice for me.. And of course let's not forget... :D

Steveasaurus, I have one of them walk behinds, mostly restored but wrong engine and I have most of a sulky for it too if you really like the ride :ychain:

Looks Like another day wasted in Youtube land...LOL...Problem is I always have the purest of intentions when I start watching Youtube Videos but I always end up somewhere wondering how did I get to this video....all I was looking for was supped up Power wheels and Here I am watching ......well I will leave the last part to your imagination...LOL

Jack White is an amazing artist.....I watched a special on VH1 with him in it called It Might get Loud Jimmy Page and the Edge from U2 was on it too. If you get a chance check it out!!!!!

Well, with 4 grandsons, I see what my winter project is going to be.

That is awesome. I bought my son a pedal Fire engine when he was around 3...he lived in that thing, wore out the tires (I ordered new ones and replaced them). I have movies of that. Great stuff. :)

He's got the pose down :handgestures-thumbupright:

Wow. I spent 3 days reading this. Simply put; you're the man. Thank you for documenting this.

Hey Jim.....Where did you get this picture...LOL

Congrats Craig. You are a real asset to Red Square and I always enjoy reading your post. You are both funny and informative. Keep those posts coming!!!!!!!!

I think this guy was very suspicious! I saw him on this one also.

Looks real nice Bob. I say use it, it is afterall just a seat and seats were made to sit on. :)

Well now you just have to buy a tractor the seat is correct for.

does pushing them counts towards the mileage thing or not?..... steve, mike did have that techy going on the weekend, didnt you hear that big rev when he went past our display at the show?........... congrats on the 4k too, craig... :woohoo:

Definitely old school anyway. Besides, I don't mind living on the edge...that's the way God made me.

we had a great time seeing old friends and meeting some new one's this year didn't take many pic's but here they are our trip first took us to Elkhart IN. to pick up our new wheel horse hauler then on to the show on thursday it's also our new sleeping quarters scott taking the tractors up to the show grounds Brian

wow, you mean we could have waited it out? we got absolutely hammered just after we got onto i 69 heading south....... was good though, to have an extra day at home to pack things up, but i would have much rather stayed for another day...... just wish it could have lasted longer............. oh well, next year i guess..... thanks to kelly and family for an awesome show once again........ was a really great weekend, all of you are such a nice bunch of people and we really enjoyed ourselves. you all have really got jeanine hooked now as well. i wasnt sure how the weekend was going to go for us, being the first time for her, but she had a blast, and is constantly talking about more shows this year...... i really need to pull it back a little and get myself a decent trailer though..... thank you all......

Just purchased this 701. She's a little rough but not too far gone! I hope to have a blast restoring it and using it.

Ya Steve, Craig is definitely "old school". :ROTF:

Kelly and family put on another wonderfull show this year. Thanks guys for all your hard work . we spent 4 nights there and had a great time as allways. we got lucky and the storms missed us on saturday night. and Scott (smoreau) makes some killer cheesy tators on the grill . also like to thank the rest of you'all for the great hospitaly and laughter around the camp fire. these pics are in the camping area on sunday afternoon as people were leaveing and it was clearing out . my 877 Dukes horse hauler my site

If he hasn't been... he's at least looked up at it a few times.

It looks like they had a pizza party waiting for them...

I have one that I bought to restore. The motor smokes a little on start up but otherwise runs fine. The transmission is weak in reverse and I suspect a check valve but have not looked into it yet. I have never heard anyone say they did not like theirs. Here is a picture of a restored one. I thing they are a great example of the Wheel Horse brand. Here is mine all original:

and some more...... denny's (dclarke) very nice 701.... brian's very nice 854 with stainless sickle mower.... mike (ol550) and mj catching some shade from the hot sun with duke's (horsefixer) 702 and rj dave's (funengineer) trailblazer mower/snowblower, commando and 857.... mike's (ol550) 2 nice ones......... david's (new2horses) very nice 'wooden wagon'.......great story behind this one........ dave thought the grass needed mowing....... that hot sun was effecting everyone in different ways.......
