this was my woods project

Have you ever seen such a mess? Any volunteers to help me organize this mess?

You did it, you fix it! We will watch!

Ok I heard enough....

...and my collection continues... Almost feels like I was there, thank you so much Scott... you da man buddy.

Thanks to one of our members (thanks again , Ed) my Chor Trac has a cousin to share the stable. I also will be able to use the case of orange paint I bought before I found out the Chor Trac should be all red! It is a 1949 Simplicity Model L. Even though only two years separate them, there are engineering improvements on the '51 compared to the Model L. One of them is an extra gear (referred to as Low-Low) and the different style of frame. Things seem to come in three's for me, so I guess there is another Simplicity/Montgomery Ward/ Midland in my future. If it is a Midland, I will be able to post it at the top as Midland was acquired by Toro.

Cheer up guys. Geno suffers from OCD, Obsessive compulsive Disorder. I have a feeling this is not his first bout with this disease and he has had his hand in many other fads long before he discovered Wheel Horse. Like all OCD sufferers, this too shall pass and he will move on to something else. He simply can't help himself right now. To him, Wheel Horse Tractors are like Alcohol to an Alcoholic. When he tires of this, he will dump all those wonderful machines on the market at once and we can get them at fire sale prices. Gotta love this guy.

Nice c-161 restored from previous owner. I really enjoy this machine.

I thought you might like the little surprise in the envelope! Keep those in tip top shape......they will be worth a lot of money some day!

I can vouch for Ken as a quality member on this site. He's one of the best guys we have and my personal dealings with buying stuff from him is second to none. He's a true gentleman and a huge asset to us on here. I wouldn't hesitate to buy his used underwear if he said they were good to go....lol

Guys- No plans for indoor facilities however there are 3 doors and a few windows going it.... Today the men were here installing rafters. They did not work yesterday. Tomorrow they should have the rafters finished and start installing the t&g decking. A week from this Saturday I have another crew coming over to help me install the standing seam roof panels. Anyone interested in stopping over I need to install the siding .... I finished all the curtain drainage around the building and then graded off the ground. I seeded and placed hay over it then rolled it. I would think that in the spring I may have to till and reseed the entire area around the barn. We are simply running out of grass growing time fo rthie year but wanted to get something growing. Here are the updated pics.

Ya know what? it is a long way to the house... Oooh...I gotta go!

yes. The AH-60.

You need Moses to part that Red Sea. Awesome!!!!

I like the "Peace" symbol on the front! Looks like the wheel-barrow-trailer could use bigger tires . Mike............

1961 551 original

Here are photos of my 653. It is 100% original. Even the carburetor looks like it has never been touched. Although not currently on tractor I believe I may have the original battery that came with it. Also not pictured is a never mounted plow with the hardware still in the sealed bag. Tires still have a lot of the "knibs" on them. Cas .

You guys are nuts! . We will see what we can stir up next year.

still got all past three years t shirts as well and now received this years in the mail today.... unfortunately this years were not 'earned' like the last three....... Thanks Scott! The first two years are looking a little worn though, i wear them often. will be nice to wear some red now!!! hoodies? i want one of them......

That's enough guys, , please do it in private, the rest of us don't want to see it.

Lookin good Steve! C'mon guys, Steve has like 29 tractors, if a #2 is calling you just ride up on the nearest tractor. If ya don't feel like riding then B.Y.O.B.

You are becoming the new "rickv1957". If you need some clarification, just click The old timers on here know what I am talking about.

That's a nice tractor and not to be rude or anything never every point out problems or say something is crap when the person(s) you got it off of are on the site IMHO talk to them first before you put it up for everyone to see.

Yeah, but... Brendon has short little legs.

UP HILL ALL THE WAY, BUT STEVE IS STILL YOUNG. RUSS

As you get older, that long way gets even longer!

Pick me up on the way. We can move things around when he aint lookin!

Maybe...ditto. Imagine Geno...if you only had some matching shelving units set up... imagine what that mess would look like.

I'm gettin' worried... you seem to be accruing a whole lot of them half a tractors John... not planning to jump ship on us RU?

I have parted out a few hundred WH tractors, there is no saving all of them, and it funds my hobby selling the parts, no I don't part out nice machines, but do part out usable ones, that is where you get good parts, a old worn out machine has little to offer in parts.

I think we need to have a meet and greet at ur place next year!!!!

I think you hit the nail on the head! I was the same way. Then I finally woke up and said what I am I going to with 7 plows, 5 snow blowers, etc. Thank god I finally got all of that out of my system!

I'm not sure I would buy a WH from CT anymore... All these horses being passed around the way they are, i think they might get a CTD (collector transmitted disease)!

Man, that one sure gets around.

I'd consider losing all my WHs a win if the EMP also killed all the stink bugs.

1979 c-101 42" plow has worked for the last 35 years I see no reason to change now + 2 link chains and 80 lbs. wheel weights. This rig has moved tons of snow here in western Pa. with no problems not going to stop now.

After pushing my old C100 up some ramps and onto the back of a pickup, I am convinced my WH could withstand a direct nuclear blast, not just the EMP.

Thanks guys... The plan is to clean and straighten everything out... turn it into a nice driver for the tractor shows next year. Finally got my vid up loaded to YouTube... "HD" files take forever at times to up load.

Well, its off to Vegas for my daughters 21st birthday and time is a bit short. If anyones interested in a short 5 minute video I threw together of Scott's North Central Indiana Meet and Greet Have at it. Not my best work but the pressure to provide quality pictures and video to keep all of you happy is killing me! :*****: Enjoy------

I'd suggest sending a PM or email to Nick. If he's got time, he'll be one who can answer all of you questions. An example of his work.....and yes... that's a Lawn Ranger.

this looks like a brinly but has no tags so is it a brinly or not?

They are finally up!

Thank's that's my baby back there. Here's a better picture of her. Yeah it's definitely going to need some new rims. I just ordered a pair last night on the ol' eBay

I had a stuck pin on a Commando 800 that would NOT budge. Ended up drilling the hitch pin all the way through with a 1/2 drill bit. Then used a sawsall to cut two slots 90° apart and still had to drive out the two pieces with a hammer and drift punch. Saved that clevis hitch though and put a new pin in with lots of never seize.

Here's a few of my original condition machines! Enjoy! Most of these I bought from the original owners, mostly old folks!

Here are a few pictures I took on Friday. I think Michael Conley took a ton of great pictures. Great meeting and talking with you sir!! Here is Scott's 1952 Ford (with a flathead V-8)...this really sounded nice. Here is what it looks like on Friday... Some neat parts that Scott has... T-shirts sent from Lars... It was a great time. Thanks Scott I should have taken pictures Saturday, but I never got back to my camera. BTW...Duke and MJ's glass ware is incredible. Squonk, I have a couple of things to send you from the raffle.

Before the purchase of the Cyclone Rake, my wife used to rake the leaves onto a tarp and drag them to the woods while I was at work. When she had had enough of that, I decided to look into the purchase of a leaf vacuum system. The Cyclone rake was the best option as far as I am concerned. The problem was that my B-100 had a rear discharge deck and no easy way to attach the hitch for the Cyclone, so I went to the local JD dealer who was having a "yard" sale, and bought my first green machine. It was a used STX38 and it worked fine until the transmission went up. At that point, I had inherited my father's 1986 JD 160, and it did great until the engine decided to not start at temps below 60 degrees (leaf season), hence the Broadmoor. But when more leaves blew out the front of the deck then went in the vacuum, I knew it was time to go back to the tried and true John Deere. The X300 has been around for almost a decade, and it is still a current "dealer only" model. So, for only $850.00, I think I got a deal, and as Ken says, if it was pink, it still does a better job than the Simplicity.

I almost forgot. Here is a more recent video of it. Thanks Matt

Fantastic job Matt..... I had a 220 and a 446 several years ago, they're a well built tractor. I've always been sorta partial to Case, that's the garden tractor my Dad had. Thanks for the pics.
