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 will take pics tomorrow of what is there and post them, nobody knows about this place so send me what you are after and we can arrange a way to get them to you!

They are all special to me!

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?

Like another member said, focus on what you have rather than what you could have. Me personally I would rather have a couple WH's that I can focus on, keep up to snuff, and use and enjoy than a bunch of them that are just sitting there, not being used much, or at all, need work, in the way, taking up space, etc. There is always going to be more come along, and there is always going to be good deals come along. You can't have them all. Accepting that might help you focus on other things more. It makes the next nice score more special and enjoyable also in my opinion.

Let try this.... that's a great looking garage! Your dog looks really happy on the little ranger!

Go to the VENDOR LIST at the bottom of the RED SQUARE forum page; Click on GLEN PETTIT. He has some, plus other awesome Wheel Horse stuff!!!

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.

Like the others said, its probably a little rust/crud build up inside. Moisture from the compressor causes a bit of corrosion on the valves etc. Just adding some oil may get it all working, if not it'll need pulling apart and cleaning. Marvel Mystery oil does an air tool lubricant. I use it, but haven't had a tool apart since I started using it to see how good it works.

I guess you have been watching those new gorilla glue commercials,but how did you lift them up there

hey I've got another one........

Give me a wave when you go thru Exit 42! When in Buffalo You can Hit Coles in Elmwood Village for the best wings or Duff's for the most wings. Fat Bob's for great Barb-b Que or my new fav Country Pride Restaurant at the TA travel center at exit 48A. If you leave hungry, you're not trying! Hey Mike... I was born-n-raised in Buffalo, NY. Yes Duff's is the best, ...and Anchor Bar (originator of Buffalo Wings)!!! I have been to that Country Pride truck stop!! Good Food! We should meet!

Cornell hollow road, he has 20 plus tractors and a shed full of parts

You just gotta pace yourself Kev.

I don't listen to those blabbering idots (spelled that way on purpose ) college or Pro's. Maybe that's why I'm in the basement hugging the boiler!

Congratulations ditto Bob"s post , and every entrant deserves a for fine work they did!

Ditto on the 120 lb. Using a very scientific bathroom scale................I weighed my P220 with muffler, PTO bell attached and tins included and I got just shy of 120 lbs. It might be a little heavier as this scale was a POS but my ex kept it around so she probably knew it weighed things a little under!

You could always set up an early HY-2 type configuration to retain your hydraulic lift option..

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.

Oh LORD!! A big light just went off in my head after reading this thread. My newly accuired 551 Wheel Horse has been sitting since 1989, the shifter boot is all but gone, I am sure I will be visiting this thread in the future.

heres mine....

A couple more and you'll have one for each day of the week!

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

Not exactly vintage stuff but in 1982 at the age of 16 I was a gas station jockey at an AMOCO station. I pumped gas, checked oil, washed windows..etc. I wore a uniform with a name tag but no bow-tie. It was a great job for a young guy! Mike.......
