Here are a few of my pics for you to consider

Here's an image of my 18 automatic in its as found condition, Mark.

Awesome pics, I missed out last year.... Here's a few of mine.

Here are a couple of my pics. Thad (Ohio)

Not that it matters... I just like picts. Some 877's here...

Here are some of my "not so shiny" tractors.. But I love them because they are mine!! (left to right: 68 Lawn Ranger, 66 Lawn Ranger, 64 704, and 73 C-100)

Craig....that is a great picture. Nice job!!

Bob, Back in 1975 when I got out of x-ray school I worked midnights at St. E's in GC for a couple years as an x-ray tech. Then I worked as a tech at the hospitals in Belleville til the late 80's. That's why all my friends call me DOC. I moved away from the area in 1988 and have sold X-ray equipment for the past 25+ years. Cancer is not a death sentence today by any means. Treatments have greatly improved and its not unheard of to live many good years after diagnosis. My best advice is go with your gut, if you don't like what you hear, by all means get a second opinion. I do know one of the best treatments is a strong positive attitude. Like anything in life you will have good days and bad days. Fortunately with treatment regimes now days the good will out way the bad. Above all you have to keep an attitude of you can and will kick this thing. Keep the faith and may God bless you and yours!!! STAY POSITIVE!!!

heres a few more

Well as the title states, I have become a first time member to the super "c" club. Dad made a trip to pick up a new to him xi and I worked out a good deal, at least I thought it was for this C-195. I just brought it back to my place tonight. It needs a few little things and maybe some cosmetic work, but she will be a fine worker! Here it is at home. Need to put the pins back in to the 3-point arms.

Martin, I like what you are thinking about the shots this year...I have 3 at the moment that I would like to submit...

Here is a few of my Wheel Horse's for your consideration for the calendar this year! Thank You Martin!

As seen here, opposite Dave's "Wildfire"... which were both featured in Wild Bill's first annual, 2014 Crackle fest.

I bought my mowing deck for 25 bucks but it had serious rust damage. I started patching it last week. I haven't welded in probably a decade. Here's before and after pics of the first patch. What do you guys think?

I got the handlebars and wheels painted then sent the wheels to "Rideable Bicycle Replicas" in California to have the solid tires installed. These tires are cut to length, the rubber has a hole in it that a wire is inserted into. It's then installed, the rubber is pulled back and the wire is either twisted tight or pulled tight and brazed to hold the tire on. It took a lot of searching to find someone to do this, I'm glad I had this done by someone that knows what he's doing rather than try it myself.

you guys are funny asking if they are worthy!!!!! ALL of the tractors that everyone has posted is worthy of being in the Redsquare calendar. one reason why i want to do two different ones this year is so some of you guys with the older unrestored, workers, abandoned and rusty, barn dusty ones have just as much chance as the very nice restored ones. hey, i have a few shiny ones myself, but i will go down the garage and sit and stare at the original, surface rusted ones as well. i think they actually have more character!!!!! the deciding factor is going to be more about the creativity with the person behind the camera rather than the tractor itself being 'good enough'......

They're all calender worthy... never seen a that wasn't.

I gotta stop looking at these threads ... Cause now I gotta add one of them there Super C's to my must have list ... That will be a beauty! Better gaurd it before Geno sneaks up.. He's been pretty quiet today, that usually means he's out Sniping ...

I BOUGHT THIS TONIGHT FOR $100 AND 2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. 16HP KOHLER AND IT GOT REPLACEMENT SHORTBLOCK IN 1993. NO MOWER DECK AND BAD PAINT. STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS GOOD,NICE SEAT, REAR AXLE PLOW/TILLER ATTACHMENT AND FRONT MULE. THIS TRACTOR WILL BE SOLD ONCE I TAKE WHAT I NEED. JUST ANOTHER PROJECT. BOWTIE IN CENTRAL OHIO

I was originally going to replace just one, but I'm really getting too old to jerk with this stuff, so they're all getting replaced. The rod bearing looked NEW, I've never seen one in such nice condition. I think that it's going to last a long time with 6 new pistons.

Mine is broken also...Check your air cleaner during your annual maintenance.

Man o man,,,,,,, I am really enjoying the pictures. And I mean every single one of them. Great job guys. Thanks Glenn

Too much eyrdnakcor.. Not sure if these guys are looking at your picks or.......

You guys are what I am going to call "Big Ten Skidish" ...last week was a home team week...this week is another home team week...it should be Iowa, Penn St., Rutgers, Michigan, Nebraska, and Ohio St. That is not going to happen !!! My horses are still facing west, the smoke is the smell of fall leaves...I love that smell, and the Rock & Rye is pointing me in a direction that I just can not deny...here is my picks... ...and it is going to take some of these to make these picks this week. Northwestern, Maryland, Wisconsin, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio St.

Here is one of my 1045, don't know if it's calendar worthy, but here goes:

I think I'm going to have to go out and get some 'new' good shots ... I can't find the one I really want to submit of the B80 alongside the garden ... For now here's One that might be okay, and one that I'm sure isn't but I'm putting it up anyway because, well I miss her terribly and this picture will be going in the Shop when it's done ... my Mom on the B80, when we still lived in town... always supported my love of history, and all things WH ... right there along side helping and encouraging. Wanda F. 4/11/1940 to 6/28/2014 (sorry but I have to share - don't be too hard on me)

ok... if I get in title it Rusty Gold

I put one of these decks on my C161 after I restored the tractor. I figured that by the time I got a deck cleaned up enough to last a while I would be half way to a new one and the new one are built better any way. The new decks are one of the few things that were made stronger that the older versions. I guess that was Toro's contribution.

Some winter pictures to consider fella's.

I always stay in the back row Craig....I like to be able to see the competition.

You Think? :LOL:

Great vid Craig , & you managed to get me in the vid shaking your hand

haha just messing with ya craig. ouch....the pulley I don't need looks similar. that pulley you show doesn't have the 1/4-20 screws were talking about though? the puller I have in mind wouldn't help with that pulley. I will add some pics to this thread though when I get it straightened out.

Actually... would just like to see a puller that works.

I was just curious what ever ended up happening with the trailer.

Such a cool video! That 250 is an absolute beast of a machine.. One of these days I need to get myself a tiller! Thanks for sharing!

Are there any brass gears and or other parts in the older 8-Speeds? With a cast-iron case, I don't know what yellow metals would be in the transmissions that would call for yellow metal safe gear oils. I just throw 80-90w gear oil in mine every decade as long as the oil looks OK in them.

Have the same issue on my '90 520-8 Onan. The little plastic barb fittin' would probably break again if I replaced it. Why bother? I don't use it, keep an eye on my air cleaner. In my opinion, just a tad too much.

Tell me about it.. Even though there is only 1 Wh in the shack at the mo it looks even more full Have some photo's of the mess Here's some photo's of the new workshop taken by Nigel on Sunday.. It will soon get filled up today

I started digging into this tonight. Taking a 520 apart is harder than I expected... All the control levers and wiring. Too many roll pins. It was in a little worse shape than I expected. Lots of rust, but just in some spots. Then there was this: The last two holes on the tunnel are torn out of the steel! The transmission mounting plate has a reinforcement plate on it, but all 520's got that didn't they? The transmission side looks fine with no bends or cracks visible. What in the world could have torn out those holes without someone just abusing it? Some more pics from the rest of the tear down:

My submission

now thats the sort of pics I'm looking at for the 'not as shiny' calendar, great pic, thank you!!!

Very important to remember the indicator board only INDICATES - it DOES NOT CONTROL any function of the tractor. You can remove the board from the tractor and it will function without issues. I'll wait for your response when you are ready to send out the board. I'm sure the outcome will be several repaired boards and maybe 3 or 4 more people worldwide who understand how (and give two hoots) about this board works. p.s - I started preliminary work on reverse engineering the components on the top 1/4 of the pcb. Most of the components are there solely to flash the oil light - fascinating, as there were simpler alternatives available when this design was conceived.

One of my neighbors works for the place that stamps out Decks for Toro up in South Bend. Last I talk to him they do a run of Wheel Horse Decks about twice a year. To me the price is absolutely ridiculous, but if you think that's bad go try and buy a John Deere deck.

Ethics or a mans word... neither mean anything to most of the general public.. All anyone seems to think about is me me me me .

I know that I started this thread about a year ago, but I have some updated pics from this year to share. I applied new vinyl graphics that my cousin made for me earlier this year. So, she has a bit of a "different" look now... So, other than new vinyl graphics and rear tires, this puller is still basically the exact same tractor that I bought off of Big Jake a year and a half ago. Still a ton of fun to drive. Giddy up!!!

Found these dealer tage on a couple of goodies I have.

This is the GTV18
