Seeing so many of the good artistic or Wheel Horse themed pictures that have been put up in the I thought it might be fun to have an artistic picture thread. I know I've seen some clever photographers out there who capture fantastic moments in time. Let's see them! Members... if you like what you see, be sure to let the poster know by hitting the old "Like This" button over here on the right! I'll even get it started.... I don't have anything as fancy as Craig, but I really liked this wintery scene I took several years ago.

Just wanted to say thank you to all the veterans here on this special day. You guys are what makes this country great! Who knows where we would be without you.

My 1964 Ford, 1962-702, trailer is from the early 1950's...picture is from AJ's Jamboree in 2012

There is only 1 Squonk...see if you can pick him out of this line up??? It is almost like catching a picture of Big Foot...and most scientists would say that the picture has been doctored...but I will say this is Squonk and the picture is original.

This one was only 20 minutes down the road. This tractor looks to be all original, if it really is it's one of the better ones I've seen. He said he had problems with the carb on the original engine so he put a Kohler Command 14 on it a few years ago. Got the tractor, 48" deck, original engine and mount, extra mule drive, electric clutch setup, some other misc parts, 2 sets of chains and another plow and mount that I really did need. The engine on it now runs good but gonna try to get the original one back on it to check it out. Would this be considered a super C or not?

Serviced the 701 today, oil change, newer battery, general tightening of belts, fresh grease, etc. The yard needed one final mowing, so I managed to get about 2 hours of "seat time therapy, which was well needed! Before I started mowing, I took the rear wheel weights off, cleaned them, and changed them from linen beige to regal red. Had been wanting to do that for a couple months now. I likes it! Happy Horsing everyone!

Yesterday a old man stops by my house and want to sell his Wheel Horse. Long story short I follow him to his house. about 1mile north on my street. we strike a deal. It's a 1973 8hp 4speed. got the motor with it.

i like the look on the old ladies in that picture, like WTF are you doing? weirdo. Koen

...and the baby of the family stands alone.

I bought this with the intention of using it. It ran great, but it did not move. I figured the hydro was shot, It did not leak any fluid like when I had to replace the hydro pump in other d series I own. I figured, since Ihave to pull the motor, I should give it a paint job and clean up. The pump was fine, it was only the coupler. Here is how it turned out.

Just like to thank all the men & women that have served this great country we live in !

See us buckeye boys can still find them Geno ......

Thank you to all who serve and have served, and specially to the ones that never came back such as the ones in this beautiful place in Tuscanny, Italy.

show off.....

How about a 1960 Suburban with a Wheel Horse DP-861 disc?

Mine is super to me.

I SERVED. U.S.ARMY.

Thank you to all.

I couldn't agree more Geno. Thank you and God Bless to all our Veterans and those currently serving. With so many questions about where this great country is headed there's one thing I've never doubted and never will. All of you that have always, and always will, protect us so we can continue to enjoy the blessed freedom we have.

Martin, Understood. Here are a couple more of my favorite pictures.

I can remember a few yrs. back when I finally got to meet Mike at the BIG SHOW. I stood up, shook his hand and asked him.. Ok now, what the hell is a Squonk? We all got a good laugh because I think most of us at our campsite were always wondering but never asked... I'm not too sure who took the picture outside the food shack but I always get a good laugh when it pops up and I thank you for it... Here you have a highly respectable Mom n Pop, (the look on Mom's face tells me Mike might have just passed some serious gas though I know he denies it!) two hapless wander'ers and The Squonk!

Just a few quick photo's to show you all things have been happening in the new shack.. The most important photo being this one And a luxury item in the shack Bench with lathe up.. Somewhere under all this clutter is a very big bench! Project "Why Not" up on it's bench.. And Nigel doing his Mr Universe impression

That's less like a snow blower and more like a snow rifle. You might get 50' with that thing! May have to up the RPM's on the auger though... I would love to see it in action, either way!

Couple of my posers here.

Someone posted this on Facebook and thought most would it enjoy it as well. It is a well thought out monument. http://twistedsifter.com/2014/11/anthem-arizona-veterans-memorial/ Mark

As it came off the trailer and how she worked in my daily work all supper.

i'll come down early and help you make room !!!!!!!!!

Don't get me started.

Never would I say something like that about the man that has a monopoly on the Wheel Horse brand! Ssshhhhh He could be listening... I might need him one day. Let me put it this way, the man knows how to get a good deal. Just from a few phone conversations, I almost felt like I needed to give him my tractors.

So...you're sayin' Geno's cheap.

A screenshot from last year is all I have for now

Here's THE STORY!!! I had knee surgery in May of last year. My leg was getting pretty tired and sore and it was Saturday just before the raffle. I had to sit. Steve is sitting about 50 feet away at his tent. He is all dressed up in a red T-shirt. He looked like a giant tomato! I saw him reach for his camera. I told that lady and I quote "Don't mind me, but See that giant sweet tomato over there?" pointing toward Steve. He's going to take my picture and I'm going to make some faces." God's honest truth! He missed me when I did my googly eye face!

Gene,,,,,,,nice haul. And better yet,,,close by. Your getting close to the "super C" 195. Thanks for sharing,,,gotta go,,,drooling on myself. Lol Glenn

I wanted to give thanks to Glen for the awesome front wheel grease covers he sent me and I really like the top spindle covers too there a great idea I'm always having to wipe everything down after a good greasing now its not as much as a hasel if you haven't bought a set maybe you should give it a thought

Thanks Geno and everyone else! Can't speak for everyone else but it was my pleasure! And Thank you to rest of you who served!

I'm not only the club president....but I'm also a client!! Nice pickup on the tractor though.

Is this like Monkey see, Monkey do type thing? :laughing-rofl:

Walk quietly and carry a big stick, you'll need it too beat off the vultures! Get it quick, the rear tires are probably worth the asking price..

Great tractors the Gt 14 , very desirable, all implements for the Gt14 will only go with this tractor . Does it have the 3 pt hitch

Yep same here. Picked every pepper I could find over an inch long So Dee canned every last okra and pepper. Cut the okra down and pulled it on the Irish potatoes I have still going crazy, Short row and today A bale of straw on them. I'm hoping to have some Little red taters for Christmas. Got a couple volunteer maters loaded with some A little bigger than golf balls so a couple big styrofoam coolers Will go over them in hopes they will still make in the Window for Christmas as well. Really need an oil change in the 857 mow tractor. Like those weights !!!!! Many times we still have to mow a couple times a month here And snow removal is a GOOD broom or wait a day.

I've spent the last weeks of summer getting this little darling ready to go. I got it off a JD from a scrapyard in Minnesota for $350. 400 pounds of solid steel, tempered glass windows, WIper, defroster fan. Mice ate the wiring, so I had to rewire, and added front floodlights. The original cowling around the hood didn't fit due to the muffler. I made a new one out of Lexan, and am waiting on molding from McMaster-Carr rated to 450 degrees. I don't think the exhaust will melt that, but we will see. Mounting was a PIA, but I was able to modify the front mounts by reinforcing the footrests. Mounted to the frame, there was too much sway. Moving the mounts farther apart solved that problem. The rear sits on the seatpan for sway control, but most of the weight is in the rear hitch. I am doing the best I can sealing out the weather, and the vinyl matting over the footrests will solve most of the problems when fully installed.

Fantastic....thanks for sharing. I like the regal red myself. Glenn

Jim...you look good in the Fedora. Crack that whip...whip it good...it's not to late...to whip it!!!

Well, I couldn't build a new shed - but I let the neighbors know my interest.

Very true Richie. I wish I were closer and could help more.

If you have a Fastenal near you do yourself a favor and get 10 7/16" 20 x1 1/2 screws and 10 7/16 star lock washers. Thread the bolts into the hubs from the back side and lock them with the washers. Go to an auto parts store and get 10 70 Chevy Camaro lug nuts to hold the wheels on. Makes wheel change out and maintenance a lot easier.
