I finally added a 1054 to the collection. I have been looking for some time now and found this beauty. It is an original, 1 owner unit. Everything works including the tail light and generator light. I am Happy, Happy, Happy

And cold out side. Brrrrrr. Glenn

Well it's 0 degrees and there's nothing else to due so I decided to re due the barn. I sold some tractors and move some out for other members to enjoy. Don't worry everybody I'll fill the barn back with more wheel horses tractors eventually. The loader with attached forks worked great for putting tractor in the rack and as well taking them down. I started Saturday at 10 am to Sunday 3am. I was frozen as the wind chill was -15 but I'm from Buffalo where use to these winters...

So aM I sick? Do I need a Dr? It looks so much at home in the house.... I was surprised when she got home the girlfriend didnt say much other than it doesn't look right over there in the corner...It belongs in the great room. Its more open.....

Do it while you can. I tried that with a Kubota a few years ago. Wifey said she'd use it to dig my grave.

A side note. Picked up this almost perfect dozer snow blade for the 5xi Friday. Glenn

My wife and I have two golden retreivers and an orange cat... This is Ellie, she'll be two this spring Here we have Josie (dog - she's 6) and Ari the cat. Ellie on the wheel horse...

Here is Bailey the queen of the castle. She is seven.

Unfortunately, Chessie will be grown up by the time your son is 5. We have three old cats (15 years old) that sleep most of the day, and eat the rest of the time. They are indoor cats and have never known a good day's work. But I wouldn't trade 'em for anything. Here's two of them. The third is probably in the kitchen eating!

Morgan 10, Mollie 11, Tobie & Charlie 5

This is our little west highland terrier , Skye , she is 2 years old and sadly she is totally blind , we also have 2 parrots

I have to put my Horses in the garage so I can keep my a$$ in the house.

We just bought a Chesapeake Bay Retriever for our son. He is 4 1/2 and we wanted to get him a pet to grow up with. Her name is Chessie. I would like to know what types of family pets y'all have?

Simple...feed em some Oyster Pie.

Like a changing of the exhibits... at the art museum.

Rosco is 6 1/2 yrs old Malone is 12 yrs old This is Sponge. He's a 9 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback This is Spud. He's a year old this month. Him and Rosco are my buddies.

This is sam, he's border collie cocker spaniel mix. Its tough to get a pic of either of us without the other there.

Wow! Lots of very helpful info guy. Can not thank you enough. Hopefully it will get me through the next couple storms, and I will give it new fluids/fillers/grease. As far as the blower goes, I plan on dis assembling, sand blasting, and goin the whole nine yards. It looks like the previous owner did a halfway decent job on maintence. Oil, and trains oil looked ok, and grease everywhere. I will take some better pictures once the snow stops, and post them up. I am shocked that it has the bones of a 420 lse, but the thing has just been hacked in a few spots. For such an expensive tractor the po really did not care about astetics. This was a worker. Hopefully the wheelhorse rescue league can bring this one back to life thanks guys!

Engines numbers are all correct for a 420 LSE and I see a chrome DCL, hydraulic lift lever, and belt release lever. Many modifications/changes, but the foundation is there.

If you put it in front of the couch, it would make a great coffee table! Just be sure to use coasters so you don't ruin the patina! Thanks for sharing and yes, I'm envious!

I think I can, I think I can, yup just checked the work schedule and there's nothing there! I'll be there. Possibly bringing some New weights into the fold. Shall we say rj weights for the front axle. See Ya then

Came home today to see this sitting on a tree by the garage.

I have a couple of Beagles Emma is on the right and is Bruno's Mom. Typically they aren't allowed on the furniture but sometimes they forget.. I wasn't off the couch for two seconds and they decided to make themselves comfy. They are both very friendly though Bruno is more of a people dog... Emma's best friend is FOOD and if given half a chance she'll take it right out of your hand. (not mine though) Then there is Kia, the cat I rescued at work. She was born in the wild but is the friendliest cat you will ever meet.. The three of them get along great and you will often find the three of them curled up together in front of the wood stove. Kia even lets the two mutts sleep in HER bed..

Added the shield. Works great. Allthough its wayyyyy to pricey for a piece of metal. Imho Glenn And it works great.

Tell her it's better then going out parting all the time or doing drugs. At least your home all the time when playing around with the tractors. Also tell her it's a good invest for the future it's like a classic car as it gets older it's worth more. "Build the Barn" Chapter 15 page 23 5:20 a quote from the Wheel horse Gods

Glad you posted these pictures; my wife now knows how few I have. Now she is fearful I will build a bigger barn and add to the herd.

This is Rocky.....she is about 11 years old

another nice honest tractor there Denny. shifter plate looks great, i can understand you wanting to make one up from slightly thicker material.

That means it's gonna keep snowing!

Jake, I guess i need to pay more attention to whats going on around here, just stumbled across this thread and had no idea you were doing more than one at a time....... great job as always and makes me feel like i need to get off my a## and get working on something. man, ive been lazy this winter with garage and tractor projects......

Thanks Richie.. There is plenty of space behind the seat for a panel across, I'm not sure if it needs it or not, but it would add extra strength across the back.. Something to think on me thinks More metal work, starting with a small patch at the front.. Chopped.. And patched back up.. Only a bit longer.. Rear panels mostly tacked in place... I was standing on the GT 14+2's seat to get this high up photo Mostly welded up and hit with red oxide to get it all one colour.. When I first put the pan back on I wasn't sure I liked the shape or not.. Maybe the "dropped" bit's should of gone down at an angle? Maybe the top of the drops should have more curve? Anyway, with a seat plonked on and a couple of exhausts sticking it looks a little better.. What do you guy's think? And for your viewing pleasure, here's the latest video.. Enjoy.

Just picked this jewel up today, looks ruff, but runs good, has a 3point and a ark 550 loader, and new rear tires, and a wt box, will take it apart this spring and make it look better! And I almost forgot to add it has power steering, made from a John Deere 400.

Finally got a arm for my plow to angle it idk y I can't upload pics

Plan to be there Thursday morning. Camping under the trees with a great bunch of RS folks. Will have a tractor or two to display hopefully between Maynard and VINYLGUY again. Don't know if I'll have anything to sell. Currently the only thing on my wish list is a pair of 6x12 rims and a Ranger L-157 snow plow. Today it's another below zero morning with no new snow [emoji30]. I can't wait for June. [emoji2]. Sent from my tractor seat.

Hello All.... DANG ITS COLD.... Heres an easy way to tell!!! Steam=cold, no steam equals not cold!! Lol Heres the C81 after it had been running for HALF AN HOUR..... this tractor has turned into one of my favorites. It just runs and runs and gets the job done. Hasn't failed to start right up no matter how cold... (I have 10/30 in it). Temp had to be around 5 maybe less... I dunno. I just know the tractor wouldn't stop steaming---I think its cool as heck. I'm getting sick of moving all this snow around---today I shoveled my workshop roof and half of my garage on both sides---pitch is too steep / I'm too much of a sissy to go higher---unless I wanna fall off into a 6' deep pile of snow! Also---anybody know of a chute extension for an Ariens snow blower---maybe to 10' or so??? http://vid430.photobucket.com/albums/qq30/andoverct/019_zpsxof4rbno.mp4 LINK TO C81 Video Tony

I sent you a C/L cab link Glenn.

Yowsa! That is a great collection.

Sweet S**t that is a lot of tractors...

Nice collection!!!

Very nice tractor Denny, I especially like the shifter plate you made, nice work! Agreed. I think when one of my Wheel Horses decides it's time to move on, I'll be replacing it with one of these. A little beefier and more "naked" than my 310-8, and I've done the black hood thing and will be looking for something different. Now having just said that, I hope my tractors don't read this and start getting ideas, I have enough projects right now.

Who is that masked man? Nice set up.Good thing the snow was light and fluffy this time.

My first father-in-law used nails to "tighten" up battery post connections! He was a farmer....crude at times!

As to your comment about the wheels looking to be painted but no rust, i did read where Wheel Horse had some left over chrome wheels and they painted them and used them on other models. You may have those wheels. I did know the models that likely had them and I remember looking out for a tractor with those wheels.

Looks like a snow cab is in order....

Looks like a real keeper Denny! Those C-120's and C-121's are great all around Wheel Horse tractors!

The is an item Chuck "Wheel-Mule" will be raffling off at the swap meet. He will be selling chances to win this item to help raise money for supporting Mentone Swap Meet expenses. He will be donating all proceeds from the raffle. Thanks for looking.

been so busy here lately haven't had the time to get the old girl back to working still have a few things to workout

Alright all, here's what I promised updated pics, the only thing left is the wheels, the old man dumped oil on them to preserve them....will be a horrible mess to clean but should make for beautifully preserved original wheels!

I had such a great time last year (with the exception of my daughter being sick the whole time) and I was REALLY looking forward to going again this year for more live action filming, hanging out at the campfire (and getting there earlier) and all BUT my oldest graduates High School that Saturday, so I will be attending the graduation. I hope all have a fantastic time, and hope to see you in 2016

Here's a little update on the 59. Started painting some stuff on friday, got some done, but not everything. Also reprimed the other parts and got them sanded and ready for paint. I'm going to merge the 57 with this thread for now, as its all getting painted together at the same time. Today I put the 57 frame back together and glued some tank straps in it. Anyways here's some pictures of whats been painted, and the stuff that was reprimed/sanded. Hope to have most of this stuff painted by the end of the week. Gear case cover back on These were painted, but got messed up a little bit, so they were scuffed and will get repainted The tank straps glued in, I've done this on several tractors now, and it has worked well. And some shiny red parts(In case your wondering, yes this is my closet. ) The top 2 pictures are for the 57 and bottom 2 or for the 59 Will add more pictures as more stuff gets painted
