1950 Mercury 2 door

This popped up on ebay the other day and I made what I felt was a decent offer and the seller accepted so it is on the way to be hung in the new barn. I believe it is a true dealer sign however not sure what vintage? It is about 3 ft wide. If anyone has any information on it. please let me know. Thanks- ps- the sign is porcelin and one sided

Finally picked it up today. 1987 model with the M16S Kohler. It's no cream puff, but there's still a lot of work left in her! More pics to come, as it was dark and raining when I got her home.

at first I thought - well ........ sandals, pick axe , hair and belt drives, 60 volts dc , undersize wiring and battery acid there's just way too much in the way of safety advice not to pass this on (I know its 12 minutes of your life you will not get back but you have to watch the full video to benefit from the wisdom contained there in).

I bought my first WH at the end of last summer when I moved into a new house with a small (but hilly) yard. It's a 92-11bf01 in running survivor shape. Apparently this thing has lived it's whole life on my street but passed threw a few different hands. It made the last couple of cuts just fine last year. After a couple of carb adjustments, and a new acc drive belt it made it's first couple this year. The only things I've noticed so far are the obvious lack of a seat cushion, no third gear engagement at all, and somebody has rednecked my 95-36rx01 deck. I'd like to get a new seat for it, maybe one that sits a little bit further back as I'm a little over 6' and I'd like to get the deck straightened out. Besides grinding the welds out will I need a tensioner?

Picked these up yesterday:C120 auto SK486 The paint isn't too bad on the 120 but everything is froze up. Motor turns over, full of mice nest. The 486 has a few chips but i Think it will polish up pretty nice.

Or just remind him about the CROOKED parking brake decal....

.I see you went with a crew cab Brian. Are Acorn and RJ going to the show?

I have been gone a while, Moved to the Bahamas and having fun fishing... Just wanted to say hello to all my friends on the Forum... Steven

How could he be happy with that?

Since you all are throwing up your work horses, I figure I would throw another brand into the mix. (I am loyal to my brand, but I DO respect and enjoy all decently built pickup trucks. No hate here) She doesn't ever stay clean for too long 2008 I purchased in 2010. Only 2WD but I got it at a price in which I could trade it in today for over 70% of what I paid.

Great Horse of course! My '85 416-8 is a go-to Stallion. Kept indoors, maintained, the Horse is always ready to wo.....wo.....work! Update your post as you get workin'!

So I just picked up this b60 that looks to be somewhat of a mutt. It has a k181 electric start, has different early 80's sticker on the fenders, sharpie making the 6 an 8 on the dash tower and it also says 8speed but it's only a 4 speed. Any info anyone has whould be great Pic

What, Brian too? You guys with all your current shape GM trucks, first it was Steve rubbing it in with his 14 last year, now you guys with your 15s..... (Brian, i assume yours is a 15?) Im posting a pic of my 13 "old model' to try and fight back all you guys with your 'cutting edge' trucks..... I recommend you do the same Denny, don't just stand back and let them kick sand in our faces!!!!!

Looks great for sure however for the record....... if you ever give me crap about oiling up my patina tractors I have your quote...."finished waxing the transmission and frame" ...... thanks for the ammo ! lol

Is that white wire from the A terminal of the switch going to the little post on the solenoid? If so, disconnect it. Only one small post on the solenoid will trigger it when 12v + is supplied. Make sure that small post is connected to the S of the switch. The other small post is not used at all. Where does that green wire to the B (battery) on the switch come from?

1953 Chevy Belair.. (borrowed picture)

I have amassed a collection of five 520H Wheel Horses along with a 312A, 416-8 and a couple of vertical shaft riding mowers. Three of the 520's are the later swept axle models with the other two being early straight axles. I purchased the first one about three years ago and paid too much for it, but just had to have one, and they aren't easy to find in Australia - although I have seen quite a few for sale since. My first 520 was in generally good condition, although it had a significant transmission oil leak and the seat was wobbly due in part to a broken tab on the upstand. A 60" deck in good condition came on the tractor. Inspired by some of the restorations on Red Square and my earlier rebuild of my 416-8 I decided to try and refurbish it. I started by completely dismantling the machine and had lot of the parts powder coated. I had a short thread in "Transmissions and transaxles" a couple of years ago when I split the transmission and checked the internals as well as replaced the seals. The bearings, gears and differential were all still perfect. The oil leak was found to have been caused by the oil temp sensor probe which had split. After I got the transmission back together I refitted it to the frame and the project was put aside. I just looked back, and was surprised to see it was two years ago. I did bits and pieces but not a lot of progress was made in between. However, over the past couple of weekends I have been able to make some headway. Frame assembly commenced. Transmission nearly ready to refit. ...more to come.

A trying NHL season has come to and end. But top pick has been secured! I haven't been to a hockey game in like 40 yrs. Back in the day of the Memorial Auditorium. I thought the game would be a wild one with the Sabres having nothing to lose by winning and Pittsburgh fighting for a playoff spot.but it wasn't. only penalty was Crosby for shoving the goalie Lindback and Lindback popping Crosby back. That happened early and nothing escalated after that. Best thing that happened was I got on the Jumbotron during the first intermission. The positives: Sellout crowd! Jumbotron 2 Zamboni's! 50 % off all Sabres shop goodies Pulled pork at Essex St. Pub! Crosby got blasted a few times Negatives; Not enough penalties no fights 3 players got hurt but 2 did return Too many Pittsburgh fans! subway trip down. The train was full in no time too many Penquins opening Face off Big hit! Zamboni's ! Empty net with 3 min to go Sabres thank the fans

Bought this C195 with out a motor, I found a motor, put it in for a test run and it preformed great, then took out the motor and started a paint job. lots to take off yet. but here are a few pics so far. More pics Today I plumbed it for a 3-point, going to try and modify a D-3-point to fit!

This was on the local news this morning. Video of a moose checking out a Wheel Horse and snowblower. http://www.myfoxboston.com/clip/11387709/moose-on-the-loose-chimps-down-drones The following video is also cool. Shows a chimp knocking down a drone with a stick

I've already taken a few bolts out I thought were drains. I figured it might be a good time to stop and ask questions before I mess something up.

Well, it turns out that you can't get the chrome anymore. I actually called Toro direct. Only black. I'm assuming there's no chance I'll find a mint used one so I'll probably just buy the black one. I'll see how it looks. I think the black will look nice too. Otherwise, maybe Ill have it ceramic coated.

Easily size 12EE's.

crooked decals

By the way Matt, that is lookin pretty Bad To The Bone.. The chrome heat shield is going to really set it off.

Maybe you should bid like $300,000 or so for it?

Anyone check the feet on the eaglets. ?

Yes. Yes I did. 3 hours and 50 lbs of /16th 6013 rod later..... what has been seen cannot be unseen. The homemade contactor switch made from the 2x10, door hinge and Kmart flat blade screwdriver is - forgive the pun - burned into my brain.

In the spirit of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=popXDFvOsLg I have learned a new technique for drilling holes in sheet metal (6 minutes40 sec) into

welded a 1/8" thick plate on the inside and redrilled holes

Good evening. Just thought i'd add a wishy washy photo of the badge that was fixed on to the bonnet of the RJ. Trying to catch the light just right to make it readable was awkward. I've also added it to the UK dealer section. Regards, Philip

Good evening all, I just about managed to get a semi decent photo today of the badge that was attached to my RJ58/59. It is for Garden Machinery Ltd of Bath Road, Slough in Bucks. Sorry if it hasn't come out to well; trying to catch the light just right on a faint badge was a tad difficult.

I've been working on this charger 10 for my dad its been almost a year sense I started on it he bought it off eBay and it was rusted and rough now its has a fresh coat of paint new decals and a 16hp Kohler bored over .10 new piston rings and rod valves and gov gear

Several accidents waiting to happen. Thanks for sharing Chuck.

Mike it's a 2015 double cab sierra 1500 Z71 4x4 w/ 5.3 V8 six speed transmission has remote start and trailer package with built in brake controller and backup camera Brian

Wonder, Steve... if your seller is making more?

Finished waxing the frame and transmission, got the wheels all painted and bolted on with the lower front spindles and installed my new muffler with the tabs for the heat shield. Hope to have it finished in the next week or so.

I understand the senior moment thing. GM was getting somewhat serious about an aluminum body a few years ago but they decided to table it because it was so risky. Now they are rethinking it. They know lighter means fuel savings and the government regs are getting tighter every year. Ford being a guinea pig opened up that file again. As far as the GM ads touting steel vs aluminum it's strictly a sales thing this year. Maybe steel is better but all any of the manufacturers care about is saying that their product is the best thing going for the given year. This isn't a Ford/Chevy/Dodge thing. The American trucks are all great but we all have our experiences and preferences. That's the way it should be.

Love the GMC's

Here is what it will be. The 753

JUST PICK UP A 1976 C120 AUTO TONIGHT 4 MILES FROM HOME. I GAVE A $100 FOR IT. PO SAID IT RUNS BUT NEEDS A FUEL PUMP. DECALS AND METAL TAG SAYS 76 C120 AUTO, BUT MOTOR TAG READS K341S AND IT DOES HAVE 10 HEAD BOLTS. WILL TRY TO GET IT RUNNING TOMORROW.HERE ARE SOME PICTURES FOR NOW MORE INFO LATER.

I have a 1995 314H and install it under the seat with no problems. They push better than suck.

Final update on this project of which I am dedicating to my father he and my mother brought me into this world in 1964 and he left us on 9-29-14. I have always like the hood stand on the 64's and since I did not have a serial number for this one I made my own 92914 this tractor will always be close to my heart, this one is to date the best one I have restored. Dad if you are looking I hope you like this one. Will be taking this one to Pioneer Power this year and every year, as my father had come down to see us for the years I have been going, he loved to people watch and spend some time with the Wheel Horse faithful. Thanks Guys Enjoy and thanks for looking

I had a 74 Nova hatchback. It was blue with an inline 250 and a 3 speed auto....but with a set of rally rims and some air shocks it looked like a racecar ! After about 4 or 5 months I flipped it.....moved down to a 74 Vega GT next. Neither of these are pics of mine, just images I borrowed from Google....I gotta learn how to get my old snapshots made digital. Mike...........

I don't know about that. This beauty only cost me 50 bucks and it is also in showroom condition. Oh.....what! I mean its in bathroom condition! Matt! That machine you have is beautiful! No wonder it's being retired! Thanks for posting the pics!

Craig, weld it back up and grind it smooth. Then add a plate on the inside to act as extra support.
