The three musketeers (left to right) 1968 Round Hood Lawn Ranger, 1973 Lawn Ranger, 1970 Raider 10 And some pictures of one of the youngest enthusiast's in the group. Helping fix his first wheel horse (1973 lawn ranger) He's got the steering but still can't reach the pedals.

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

You Think? :LOL:

It isn't the tine shaft that will limit depth. That honor will go to the gear box the tine shaft emerges from. No matter how you design it, that gear box will be larger in "diameter" than the shaft. If your tiller is 36", the gear box will be about 3 or 4" wide in the middle. Which means your first pass will then leave two swaths of tilled soil 16" wide with a 4" line of untouched dirt dividing the two. Successive passes should be no more than 16" from the previous so that the tines run over that line of soil. As for the tine shaft, think about it this... how can untilled soil possible make contact with it if the tines are turning? What ever soil that reaches the tines shaft would have to have somehow gotten past those revolving tines, which is all loose and getting strewn about. The gear box is a different matter and will always be dragging in the dirt, tilled or untilled. There isn't much clearance on the tiller. I put a short extension on my lift lever which gives me an extra inch of throw (height), but as previously mentioned, it makes it a tiny bit heavier to lift the tiller.

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.

So on Saturday, it was an absolutely gorgeous day out, so I decided before it got any colder out, I should try to till the garden. I decided it was also a good opportunity to finally find out if the tiller I got with my D-250 worked. So with a little fighting, and help with my dad, we got the tiller onto the tractor! And boy was I surprised! It works really great! As I state in the video, it really makes a racket, though, which worries me a little bit. It probably needs a bearing or a couple haha, the tiller looks like it sat outside its whole life and probably hasn't been used in maybe 10 or so years. I did check for oil before I used it, and it did have oil in it, and I kept checking the tiller during use, and it did not get hot, and it seemed to quiet down the more I was using (maybe I was just getting used to it ), But without further adieu, here is a video of me using it! There is a pic at the end of the video that shows the end result of the garden. Oh, and Duane(baerpath), if you see this, thank you so much for the locking pin for the tiller, but as you can see, someone took it into their own hands to make that pin not necessary, and just welded the spot where the tiller falls out of the PTO extension. I wish I had known a little more about the tiller when I got that part from you! Enjoy everyone!

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

The switch is behind the left side of the dash and the hose hooks up behind the switch. Since you see a piece of plastic in the hose, that means it is broken. I think out of the 6 I've had only one of them wasn't broken off. Really a sorry piece of engineering work on that sensor. I would imagine that at least 70% of those sensors have broken connectors.

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.

If you eventually do decide to drill it out... be sure to use the next size larger bit.

My submission

I have contemplated having a meet an greet/trail ride this coming spring. My wife and I have 23 acres in south east Ohio near the Ohio river. There are a couple hills on the trail that might be a little much for a garden tractor though. Not sure if anyone would be interested or not. If so I may go ahead with it. Mark

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

YUM!! I'll take it -- but only if you'll throw in that ratty ole truck too...

Well all the parts are ordered and I took next week off from work to finish everything up. When that's all done, I start work on the 312-8. I couldn't in good conscience work on a tractor while the Jeep was out of commission!

I submit for your amusement the infamous back-flipping Commando 8

Wow Ian !! Your skills amaze me. Please keep us posted on this build.

I wonder if this new ethanol gas has anything to do with this. That new gas is junk in my opinion.

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 .

It's been six months, but I have a roller again!!! Just got the new tires mounted and filled with Rim Guard (beet juice). Still don't know if I will have it ready for snow or not, but I'm plugging along. Still need to paint the engine and seat back. Any tips for touching up the paint? Been trying to be careful, but still a few scratches from the reassembly.

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

This is the GTV18
