picked up a nice 702.

The title say''s it all really. I hope some of you will find this video handy.

Last night was the Brewster High School Varsity Football / Cheer dinner, it was also the Brewster High School Salute to Veterans. As mentioned earlier, my girls chose to perform at the Veterans Celebration over the dinner. This isn't some back woods event, but a full production to honor our veterans past and present. The evening is orchestrated with music from our award winning marching band (recently played in Dublin Ireland St. Patricks day 2013) and an ensemble of the 4 choirs at BHS. There are speeches by NY State Senator Greg Ball (Air Force Veteran) as well as many others including a Gold Star Mom who's strength is amazing. I uploaded to YouTube the finale to the show, where the BHS band and entire Chorus salutes all branches of the military. I stood during the Air Force section in honor of my father.

A couple of years ago i took my son to France to commemorate the D day landings & i would just like to say that the US Military Cemetary is one of those most beautiful places i have ever seen . If ever you get the chance to visit europe then i would highly recommend the most humbling place to visit is the US Military cemetary The picture below is of the US military cemetary in Cambridge South East England again this is also a very beautyful place with nearly 4000 US serviceman buried here THANK YOU

Thank You America

I have been waiting almost 2 years to finally install this dealer sign the I got from a friend and member here (Riley08). This started as a double sided, 4x6 ft sign but it would have been much to big and by cutting it down I can use the opposite side elsewhere. I mounted it on the old barn beam and used the brackets that it was hung with to support the barn beam. This weekend we are going to get everything wired up and hopefully figure out a way to get this sign to light up....

screw on dash plate, ignition box for the hy2 kit, 1961/62 front axle, round clutch pedal

well it was the battery. i put a good battery in it and she runs,drives,hydro is good,deck spins good. now on to tear into it and clean,grease,flush everything.

It's been a fun 7 year ride!~~~~made alot of friends, met Mr Pond twice, made trip to PA twice, took TT's tatto pic and now my horse barn is FULL! Wonder what another 7 years will bring?....(note to self: empty out the barn)

If you want to bring 'em both, the U-haul trailers are cheap Mike.

I got sick and tired of the worm gear loosing engagement with the blower chute gear. So I modified it a little heeheehee And here is a video!!

Here are this pics....I hope I didn't pay too much for this thing. Came with a TON of attachments...harrow, disc, aerator, tiller, dozer blade, deck, manuals....ALL Wheel Horse

While enjoying a tractor show I spotted a group of owned by a fellow who introduced himself as "Wild Bill". While talking with Bill he asked if I was a member here, I told him no, I didn't enjoy internet forums. He assured me this was the best, he was right! Thanks Bill. And thanks to all of you who have shared your intrest with us.

Here's what I got done today. I block sanded my dash tower starting with 320 and then 400 to make sure I got AAAAL the orange peel and gloss leaving it nice and matte for my red as for the rest of the parts here, I scotch padded them with red then with the super fine grey one, INCLUDING In between gear teeth and motor fins. Also before I primed them? I used a white rag and wiped them down with mineral spirits until the rag came out clean. It may be a little much but I want to make sure I protect my tractor for years to come plus make it look nice!

Pretty cool Karl, and your right, that's a no B.S. production. I would be proud if my boys decided the same thing. Was thinking you needed to crack the woman in front of you in the skull with your camera, she was blocking my view! LOL

I found this site via google search. Joined and now check back quite often. Cleat

Glad the big trip worked out Mike.

I just had to go back and edit my post today... My daughter's teacher emailed me a copy of the picture from Monday. Made me smile all over again.

when i got my horse home it wasn't running and when we got it running it didn't run properly, so on the net i went. like the saying goes search and you will find, happens that i found you guys and now i can't go back

"So, is there a safe way to jump start our tractors?" This was my fix on the 314-8...

Here you go Van!

when i decided i wanted a wheel horse i knew there had to be a forum so i just searched. i found you crazy people and knew this was the brand and place for me!

Happy birthday RS! And thanks to all the great folks who make it happen and keep us all coming back... sometimes 30 times a day. The earliest snapshot of the forum out on the Wayback machine (http://archive.org/web/) is in July of 2008. What a change from then to now. July 2008 Today

Nice topic to resurrect. Prob. have 8000+ new members since then.

A buddy gave me a sorry looking C-121 with a mower, blower and a cab that hadn't run in 7 years. I googled WH to find parts and info and found RED Square, lurked a bit and joined. I replaced the condenser which made it run, and a spray bomb resto made my son want it. So he got his own Ranger and could leave mine alone!

Jim the Napa # is 1410 not 1610 . Napa filters are Wix

I enjoy browsing the site several times a day. What a great resource for our little red tractors. Helps us keep them going with advice, how to's, parts sources. Can't beat it!

I've been searching for one of these for well over a year. Found it on CL by accident - the seller didn't know it was WH and was getting ready to give it to the junk man for scrap! I paid $45 and drove an hour to get it. It's in OK shape - rusted through in a few spots (not brittle though) on the rear rolled lip and the inside it pitted. I'm going to give it a quick resto and use it around the yard next year. CL pics:

Are we having red cake with linen beige frosting?

November 14th 2006....the same day I signed on . I never thought it would go this well and get this big! Been an awesome ride and it aint over!!!! Mike............

I remember this one! Glad to see it back. I know that it's easier to find RS now because it's all over google and yahoo which made this very interesting back then. But the question is still, how did you find RS?

Morning all, I hope I am putting this in the right section here... Although it's to do with a Wheel Horse's, it's not a Wheel Horse build.. So why have I been so quiet? Well, the build itself hasn't been too taxing.. But the filming and editing has. With so much footage to sort out I knew that if I didn't edit every evening I would never get it done... So has the time spent been worth it?? I think so.. Hard work but very enjoyable Let me know what you think Guys 'n' Girls, because your views and opinions will help me decide in which direction to take my videos in the future...

It was a chap by the name of Jim, otherwise know as Mith who put me onto RedSquare. I was a member of another forum (no idea which one, I know it wasn't a WH forum) and so was Jim. One day he messaged me saying there was a great Wheel Horse forum that I should have a look at.. Soon after I became member no 110 and you have been stuck with me ever since

Found this neat old topic and thought I'd drag it back up for some new views.... Please pardon some of the posts that seem choppy or don't make sense.... they were damaged in our RS independence move. What brought you to ?

To get to the card game (and to deliver the donuts you will enter through a door and you will see this: Go down the stairs and go left up the other stairs you see here. Card table and coffee pot are up on the mezzanine.

Craig...you forgot the Poke-Poke Could be a bad flux-capacitor as well.

it was an honor to serve my country. Thank all of you that have served and those that are serving now. God bless you all.

Gunny, you are an example of what is right with this country! Thank you

A few edits to entertain you.

Paint it up and re-install it. Write "Widow "Maker" on it.

If you do end up getting another, don't keep them in the same stall. The little bastards like to breed.

I can relate to a lot of this. I don't like to keep tractors around just for the heck of it. I don't have the room and with a mortgage and son in grad school the funds. All of my tractors are used. Even my show tractors. My 704 up until last winter had been fitted with a plow or back blade for snow and was the trailer/lawn sweeper tug. Got used every week. The C-145, Marvin was originally bought to be used as a back-up worker for the C-160 because of the Hydro and Hyd lift. now it's customized (Thanks Terry) ready for show but it's got the tall chute blower on it now and it will get used if needed this winter. My Power King Elvis with a loader sits the most. But is basically show ready as well and will move snow and dug a patio and hauled mulch this past spring. Now I have come up against the grain. I'm on CL all the time looking for deals that I can resell to make extra cash for the hobby and most importantly, the Big Show in PA. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Recently I came across a 73 8 spd on CL. A little more money that I wanted to spend. Tractor looked decent in the ad but the pics always seem to make them look good. I happened to look at it on my I-pad and blew the picture up. I could now see the few scratches and scuffs better but it still looked decent. Called the guy and found out he was the original owner and it was his baby and was hoping a collector would want it. Wife and I drove out to see it and it looked BETTER than the pics showed and ran sweet. I made a deal and on the way home it hit me. 73 is the feature tractor this year at the show. I would really like to bring it but I already planned on bringing Marvin and my trailer isn't wide or long enough for 2 tractors. Plus I invested a lot of show money in it figuring I would sell it and make a few bucks. Now the wheels are turning. Sold the original 2 piece seat off of it which I don't like anyway because they are too low and too close the the steering wheel and hope to sell the deck of of it before the show next year. I would get 3/4 of my money back. Now I'm scrambling for storage room. Moved a lot of things around to find a good spot for everything. It's going to be my new trailer/yard tug. The trailer I hope to extend to fit another tractor on and now the 704 is going to be the odd man out for a while. Might be the driving around the block tractor from now on. Gotta use em!

The best thing is to STOP "Cold Turkey"! I will be over later to pick everything up!

Its something you can't stop so just live with your illness & enjoy it

Nope. no snow yet, but Im ready for a change. I did find use for the blower though. Instead of raking up and hauling apples I just fired up the blower and blew them over the fence. A little messy but did a fine job.

Ummm... Which one's tired, and which one's battered? :)

Dad, working in a W/H dealership, had always had W/H's and I have used them for years. About 2 years before Dad past away, I blew the head gasket on his Electro 12 mowing the yard and we decided to tear it down and rebuild it altogether. Well Dad got sicker and the Electro got shoved to the rear of the shop. I bought him a new Craftsman GT5000 that Mom could operate as well. After they both passed in Dec 2005, I decided to finish the Electro as a tribute to Dad. Well after sitting in the corner of the shop for 2 years, some parts were missing. Looking for parts on the internet produced this web sight. It did not have a name at that time but a few guys where discussing Wheel Horse tractors. Not being one to join forums, I bookmarked the sight and checked in from time to time. I watched and read more off than on for about 2 years before I decided to join in April of 2008. I still didn't post anything until August of 2008. Now I read and post just about every day!

The guy who started Redsquare, Chris, is a freind of mine. I've known him since he was 14 years old. He sent me an e-mail to say he had started two new forums and would I join up. One was a forum on Power-Kings and the other Wheel Horse. Thats how I became member #2 right behind Chris. I dont remember all the details but I think starting the forums might have been a high school project. I think the Power-King forum folded but THE WHEEL HORSE FORUM LIVES ON!!!! Mike.........

Here is the prototype bracket for the HL-5 kits. One will only have to loosen the screws on the top of the tower and slip the bracket in. Bracket follows the angles of the the tower placing the switch knob at a convenient angle and placement and placing connections inside engine area. This type kit will be obviously for this type tractor. Kits to be used with mid-engine tractors will have different frame mounting method and a different switch mounting bracket.
