I'm a recovering drug addict unless your losing your house or your family I don't think you have a problem because I almost lost both to drugs and my family would rather me be working on wheel horses rather than be out getting high so I say wheel horses saved my life

Three episodes, watch in full screen because the animation is incredible.

Well, I've been out of town for a few days, and just got back last night, so I hadn't got much done on it. However, when I got back I had a couple things that had come in the mail. I got a care package from Glen Pettit, including a repro throttle knob, and a few other items. Glen does great work!! I also got some 23x10.50-12 AG's, and some tri-ribs. The clutch pedal came in as well, so now it drives. Here are a few pics. Matt

Thanks for the help Jake, this a rough crowd tonight.... I still need to get my b-80,raider 9, electro 12 and dump trailer in there tonight, all the rest my son lets me keep them at his place ZuZu (puppy) is my little garage helper.

i got so worked up about steve painting that blade of his, i just knew i needed to redo the blade on this one now before winter. nothing better than red paint shining while pushing some snow. so i took it into work yesterday and blasted/powdercoated it. put it together this morning with mostly new hardware and mounted it on the 416. did a bit of driving around and then decided i needed to paint the black on the grill as its looking a little shabby..... looks like its going to need decals and a seat now.......

And stop searching CL so much focus on what you have instead of what you could have that's really helped me stop spending the money

I love Bugs and Roadrunner and all the "Looney Tunes" guys. We have trivia questions at break & lunch all the time about cartoons!

I remember watching a lot of this before 8:00 am on Saturday!

Demarco came with me to pick it up. He loves the tractor already. Wifey even wanted to drive it. I had to put it in a storage unit for now since we just bought a house and have to move soon.

Onward to the show.

I maybe interested in a tiller that would fit an Electro 12 or Charger 12. Where in NY are you? I am making a trip to Buffalo, NY from Massachusetts next weekend.

This will be my first tractor project. Don't get too excited, I have a few other projects going on so this will probably string out over the next decade or so. I love older mechanical stuff. I like finding and rebuilding old motorcycles. I'm only a purist on pre WW2 stuff, so this probably won't be a stock resto. I love the ag tires I have seen on your tractors, so I will eventually get some of those. Other than that, this will be just a basic clean up and paint. I'm still working on a couple bikes right now that I have not yet finished. This one is my current project bike:

After experiencing the pleasure of swapping out attachments a few times I found it would be more efficient (for me) to just buy one tractor for each attachment and leave it on all the time. It wasn't worth my time and back strain to regularly swap attachments. Plus, as I was acquiring various attachments, they tended to come with worker tractors.

603 Special, 500 Special, A-90 Special. 800 Special. Ain't that special! The 603 was special because WH used their remaining stock of older WH parts from their inventory shelves. So they sold that Model for a cheaper price, basically a parts shelf clearing economy tractor. It also incorporated the new for 1964 styled parts. You can have a 603 with a lot of different parts on it from one 603 to the next. A 500 Special is special because it was associated with the Indianapolis 500 Race. The A-90 Special was special because it had the older parts from their inventory shelves like the 603 had. WH did that every few years to use up old parts in their inventory. My A-90 Special is a 1974 WH and it has the 1965 through 1969 style of square hood. It also has an older style of Briggs engine on it and some other parts as well. My 800 Special is a hydrastat drive and I don't know what makes it special as I quit using it a few years ago. So that is all I know about Special Models! LOL!

I PAID $20.00 FOR MY FIRST YEAR OF INS. 1945. GAS WAS 8 GAL. FOR $1.00 I PAID $5.00 FOR MY FIRST CAR, A 1929 NASH WITH WOODEN SPOKE WHEELS.I WAS BORN IN 1929 AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED 62 YEARS LAST MARCH.

gotta include the INDY 500 SPECIAL

I don 't own one, nor do I have a picture of one, but I do know of a model named the 420 LSE (Limited Special Edition) that I think was only made for one year.

I thought it would get easier after mid season!!! lol Here we go guys Penn State Wisconsin Ohio State Indiana Northwestern And last but not least Michigan State ​Good luck guys…got beers and brats already waiting to grill tomorrow and a pork loin hitting the smoker at 10 AM

If I still had my Built 69 SS Big Block Chevelle (with all the hidden goodies and setup proper.) I'd take that bet. Sold it a few years ago so you won't be seein my tail lights anytime soon... I know there are some wicked fast new cars, I owned a Shelby and a Subaru WRX Turbo and it is true, many of these new cars will lay a spankin on the cars of yesteryear. As an old school guy there ain't nothing cooler than an old car from the 60's that is setup proper showin a new car whats up, and from time to time it does happen. I know its an old thread and my comment is totally non related to tractors but I couldn't resist!

Some of those old type garages still exist here in UK , but sadly they are slowly dying out , only the other day i went into a garage to get some fuel and an old guy climbed out from under a car , wiping his hands on an old rag , wearing a pair of oily overalls , He was smartly dressed under his overalls with a shirt & tie and well polished shoes , He then went on to write me a written receipt and then put my money in an old metal tin and then put it under the counter.and then crawled back undereath the car that he aws working on. It brought a smile to my face when i looked into his workshop and noticed all the old tools that he was using with old stickers all over his tool box. It brought back some wonderful memories of my childhood

HEY! What do you mean by...tonight?

Thanks everyone for the help. I put some oil in and so far nothing's changed. It acts like whatever the triggers connected to is not connected anymore. Try and tear it down tomorrow.

I'm driving around in a truck with WH stickers on it and a set of load ramps in the back so I guess I'm with you

I agree with slammer. Focus on what you have. Start and finish each project. One at a time if possible. I refurbished a 36" SD mower deck. It took 4-5 months because I hired out the bead blasting and paint work. I probably saved money, because I didn't buy any tractors! I'm working on refinishing a rear attachment bracket. That's a small project! Just a few examples.

Trigger valve "O" rings are probably dry or have some build up, 3in1 or Marvel Mystery may do the trick. Good luck.

Steve, I could tell you a story or two about that milk stool!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably a long eared flea bitten mangey varmint!

Salty,what's your secret to a long life and marriage? Whatever it is,congrats. I've alway's believed that men marry up and women marry down.

So yeah...why is it some models such as the 603 have "special" in there title? I'm thinking it must have something unique to that individual model run... like the 603's one year only steering wheel for example.

Texas is beginning to look not so far away after all.

I've been down in the basement for a while too Squonk, the spiders are UGLY ...... OK, I've managed to get back to the picks so here we go... PENN ST., WISCONSIN, OHIO ST., INDIANA, NORTHWESTERN, and last but NOT the least, of course MICHIGAN. GO BLUE !! (Where Duke's Gatling gun when you need it ??) -BK

As you can see in the manual they have the handle installed like mine.If I turn it around it's going to take a lot of changes to make it work and it will be awkward to use.I think just a little heat on the bend and pull it out to clear the muffler will be a lot more user friendly.Im not really concerned about being factory correct,if I can make it easier to use.

Hi guys, I am getting back into the WH mood again after being gone for awhile on here. I seen this thread and thought I would post about my project snow remover. I picked up an old 32" single stage that has had some work and modifications done to it. The clutch idler pulley setup has been changed around so it will run directly off of the engine PTO setup on later tractors (like the later blowers do). I am going to put this on my Commando 800 for its gas sipping ability and use it on days with light snow accumulations. I have read others say you have to cut the lift bar about an inch and a half since this is a short frame tractor. Is that pretty accurate, or should it be slightly a different length? Anyone have a exact length that seems to work best to save me an extra trip or two to the band saw (not at my house). I need to make a flag for this setup also but I have a good one from my dad's 520-H and blower setup to use as a template. Thanks! EDIT: I made the flag just now. Turned out pretty good I thought. Now to just put it on when I get home and take a final measurement for the lift bar.

id really like to put the same seat on it as it has now. time for some hunting.......

Im ready for just about anything,,,I think? For the light stuff,,, ">http:// And if it gets ugly,, ">http:// And if it gets worse than that only then am I putting the plow on the CUT

Wow, thanks for all the great comments, and encouragement guys! The Tecky lives, and it runs Fantastic!!! No smoke, except a puff of black smoke when throttling up hard. I did the initial wash up on the today, including removing the shroud, and cleaning out the cooling fins before starting. All I did to was change the oil, new battery, and add gas, and it fired right up. I'm really starting to love this beast now! The clutch pedal is broken as can be seen in the pics below, but I've got a set of both clutch, and brake pedals on the way. I'm still really amazed by the seat, as its in fantastic shape, and the vinyl is still soft, and pliable. I think I'm going to have to put a stack on it. The Nelson muffler is in like new condition, so I'll save it, incase I decide I want to go back to original. I'm going to order a set of 23x10.50-12 ags as well. I introduced the C-160 to the B-80 today, and they get along quite well. Both of my :wh:'s are 1974 models, just like me. All of us are turning 40 next year! The hood really is raised much higher on this Tecky model, as can be seen in the comparison of it, and the B-80 below. Anyway, hear are the pics. I almost forgot to mention that the 88yr old woman I bought this from even gave me the original owners manual for the beast. Matt

Thanks so much for the links.. Great photo's and instructional video.. Stevasaurus they are a real service to the WH community! Now we aren't as afraid to dig in.. Pat and Joe.

...and a lean to too.

here's a few of my pics from the stickering ceremony
