What's going on out there in WH land?? I came across a C195 here a week or two back. It just so happens it turned out to be an 84' which I have very much grown to like. This one will undoubtly will see snow blower duty this winter. That will give the 82' a rest this winter. Thinking I might throw the grader blade on it for shows this summer. I was looking for a seat pan an found one. It will need the panel cut in two different places for the hyd. controls and also the fuel tank. Here are a few pictures, I will Not be adding duels!!!!

Was finally able to christen the new hauler today. Thanks again, and was nice to finally meet both the Mr. and Mrs. Baerpath today.

Last year 2014 I made the special trip from UK to the Redsquare Row & I had one of the best times of my life , met some great people & I'm planning on making the trip again some time in the future . You are gonna have a ball

LOL, I wish thats what it was Mike. Truth is building two barns and remodeling my house since the 2014 Big Show has just about sucked my savings account dry. And of course buying another Bobcat skidsteer with some attachments did put any of the money back in the bank either. This year ol' Van has to fly coach to the Big Show instead of first class!

I have one of those 17 cu ft yard trailer/carts from the big box stores and that thing is worth its weight in gold for doodling yard refuse, but I've always wished it had a bit more capacity.... Sooo since I have had it several years and it was needing a 'freshening', I figure while I've got in the 'repair shop' I might as well try and add some to its capacity ability. Of course since it was needing paint it naturally was gonna some RED! put on it! I went to the H depot and looked at what was available, wanted something that was treated because the cart has to live outside and settled on round nose decking, a 2x6 for the uprights. and 6 of those handy support thingys. Construction was pretty straight forward - a drill, handfull of deck screws and a few lag bolts and --- by golly the dang thing looks pretty good! (Course that RED paint is what makes it look REALLY good) Think I just may have to get me a couple 'Wheel Horse' decals from Terry to top it off with.... Thought you guys would like it too and maybe get ideas for your cart....

I've got fun plans for this year. Instead of just coming up on Friday-only as in years past, I made reservations for a hotel in Gettysburg so I can participate Thursday through Saturday. Also I'll be bringing a diesel tractor or two.

Well, Ive got my favorite mug already packed...got my list of things I am hauling out for guys and I got my list of things I am picking up to haul back for guys. Looks like I will be hauling a trailer, so I will have to buy some raffle tractor tickets...I kind of hope they do not call my name...as room will be a factor. I have gotten into some meditation this spring. I was fishing the other day and near the shore line I saw this shiny thing in the water. It turned out to be a DVD for nude Yoga...the models are great. I can't believe anyone would have thrown this out. This is going to help me make it through listening to kids running Tecumsehs mixed in with Kohlers all day for 3 days at the show. :orcs-cheers: Om...Om...Om

My prayers and thoughts with all 3 of you guys.

Indiana's Bicentennial is next year. They placed me in the display area with all the Indiana made products ! I hate to say it but I would have traded my all my Wheel Horse tractors for that 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk behind me! What a ride! I also was across from a 1970 Chevrolet Cheyenne Super 20 that was quite a truck to see! Hard to believe that was 45 years ago!

That's ignorance speaking. The 15hp Command is An OHV aluminum block cast iron cylinder EPA friendly version of the old K & later Magnum series. It has a pressure oil system as opposed to the old splash lube. Unfortunately some engines leak and others never do. Just comes down to dumb luck. Just treat it right and enjoy.

This is as far as Steve got...

Moving the Christmas tree. lol

The piles I find laying around aren't nearly that nice. In fact, the piles i find are mostly organic!

1982 SK-486 8-speed.

taken down to bare metal, . starting to put back together, need to pick up new bolts yet and paint a few brackets Just have to put the rack and the guide wheels on and then done.

So while I was waiting for paint to dry...I installed Matts Hydro Pedal kit...It was fun and I can't wait to get it adjusted and try it out. Unfortunately it WILL have to wait, as I have more cleaning and sanding and painting. I guess you folks already know what I am finding out. In my first attempt at a refurb....The deeper you go the more problems one encounters. Found a broken seat pan bracket and my 48" mower deck has severe metal fatigue and a crack that is not going to last the summer....But anyway a few pics of the pedals and my feeble attempt at painting. I hope to learn enough this year, so I can take it down to the frame next year. So that gives me a year to learn to weld and paint...

My new building arrived almost a month and a half early.Good thing I've been preparing for about 3 weeks.I had to get rid of about 7,000 pounds of scrap metal.Cut down 4 trees and take out 2 of the stumps,take down my garden fence,move my chicken coop,and spread and roll 90 tons of crusher run.The three guys who built the building rolled into my back yard about 9:15 this past Thursday morning and unloaded their truck and trailer and started working.5 minute water break in the late AM.Half hour pizza and wing break about 4 PM.Building was done,mess cleaned up,tools and equipment loaded back up,and they left about 8:30 PM.I never saw 3 guys work so hard and fast.The building is all steel construction,30 ft by 30 ft.12 foot high walls.Two 10 by 10 roll-up doors,36 by 80 inch personel door.I'm going to use the building for equipment storage and to store some of my Horses that have been living outside.I'm going to put some metal shelving that I bought about 10 yrs ago along the side walls.No electric power,no heat,no insulation,just a crusher-run floor.Plain and easy storage.Here's some pics.

Very nice building. Similar to what I would like to build. I have the space, I have the need, I have a wife. No building.

If those guides are adjusted too close, they will not allow the belt enough room to disengage the pulley. Adjust them to about 1/8 - 1/4 inch off the engaged belt. May take some trial and error with a new belt to get the correct position. The belt must disengage from the engine drive pulley and stop turning it when you push the pedal so the gears don't grind while shifting. Make sure the pulley is clean and rust free too. Technically the tractor is supposed to brake when you disengage the clutch. You can loosen the nut for the brake band to delay this a little. The more you loosen it, the more the pedal has to travel to engage it. Sounds like it's adjusted a bit too tight. Again, use trial and error method until it's adjusted to a comfortable spot.

Waiting to see the New Super duty's, from what I here the Super Duty's are suppose to be aluminum also. So my thoughts are 2017 Super Duty will probably be my last New truck. The 12' has xlt equipment so I'm going to step up to either a Lariat or possibly the King Ranch. I'm kind of hoping they bring the Lightning back. I would use that for getting around town besides that I have a few little dodge trucks that think they can't be beat!!! Let them dream! Sorry Craig, but I had too!!

In primer. Still have some little things to do and paint.

Sugarcreek Ohio Pictures.

Drive the Bobcat. Jay can ride on the tines/bucket!

Yeah, that'll be the day.

Here is the id plate. I do not know the history of the c160 because I got it out of a bramble patch! As you can see it was a bit worse for wear when I got it. I am slowly pulling it in to shape now but it's taking awhile.

That umbrella is quite the sight! You may need a red light on top for planes though!

I got the rear tires mounted on the 520 rims today. Plan on bringing those to the sand blaster this week then I can paint them. The fronts are all done. I used Navajho White I had mixed. Could not find canvas white at the store. I like the stance...I was able to buff the paint and then wax it. Came out real nice.

Craig, you just needed to find one like I have. A '74 C-160 with a OHV HH160 Tecky. Its got power, class, fuel economy, sound, etc. Can't go wrong Never had a 520, but this thing works hard and loves it.

Planning to be there again (three years in a row) with Jay and James. Gonna try the camping thing this time to get the full effect of the Big show. Difinetly looking forward to seeing all my Red Square friends! Planning to arrive Thursday as usual. Looking to buy maintenance items like fuel tank caps and shifter boots. I would like to see one of Bob's wheel stud conversion kits. Also would like to find some AG tires at a good price, and of course anything else I can't live without LOL

looks like you can set these while running with a dwell meter a much better way.

so, coming back from fishing this morning, saw this with some other steel piled in the front of an old house with a free sign. asked if I had to take it all and was told no, pick what you want. now the question, What do I have? I already have figuered out that it probably is not compatible with my 414-8

My new 2015 work truck arrived here today... sitting in my driveway with a total of seven miles on the clock. Wanted the full size bed, as I'm tired of only being able to rustle home one at a time. The only drag being...I'm gonna need a new rear window decal, really hated to see that go.

They are some nice tractors John... saw the mother lode of them today.

Nice dozer !!!! ( and sign )

Did notice my clock went past the 500 mile mark today.

Use the test light to check each of the 5 points shown below. Each point should light your tester. You have 5 minutes.... 'case that's all it's going to take. Let us know which position# doesn't light the tester.

I'm very sorry for your loss. It hurts to lose a long time friend when you were so close to them.

Had a few parts in the seat mount that needed welding. Its painted now and I hope to have the fender and seat on today. Also both foot pads. Hope to have pics by end of day. At some point I want to redo the footpads and use filler. Even tho they get covered up with rubber foot rests. I brought home a torn off mudguard from work and will use that. Also under the spindles on the 48" deck and the whole back of the deck was cracked. That still has to get to the SandBlaster...So its pretty ugly...At least it doesn't have to go to the scrap heap just yet..

OK but ifn I do, I better leave now LOL I can put Jay in a rocking chair on top of the cab like Granny going to California on the Beverly Hillbillies! Oh my gosh, that was not exactly how I had envisioned my first time in the Honeymoon Suite !!!

Nah , looks fine bro . But you should have put it at the top so the little grocery-getters can see it .

very nice, wish I had the room for a building like that.

If it runs with the key off you have a fault in the wire/switch that grounds the magneto. Start at the switch, unplug the wires and find the M terminal. Use your multi meter to see if there is continuity to a know good ground. If there is then the problem is in th wire from the mag to th switch (or in the plug it self that goes on the key switch.

For the most part I agree with that comment. I had a 520 with very low hrs on it that Steve now has. Long story short, you CAN'T beat a 520 that has low hrs. on it, but once them hrs. get up there you are always waiting for IT to happen. Next time I'm up we can hook a chain between a 160 and a 520 and see which one is the Big Hoss Man on the Ponderosa. Maybe even make a video of the event..

It can't get here fast enough! The fun continues after the show for us. We're heading to 3 story, 3 bedroom, 3 bath log cabin on a mountainside in Tennessee. Our daughter, son in law and 3 grandsons from Indiana will be there when we arrive.

Can you guess? Ha. Its been a little cutoff at the knees. Got a nearly complete 80's 520H that was in rough shape. Guy bought it for the engine to use on his Deere. He started parting it out but I was the first buyer and got the whole thing for a real good price. He was a good guy! Much of the tins and the deck were not salvageable so they were donated to his scrap pile. You can also get a peak at the really clean low hour Onan P220 I got from Carl (zieg72) today as well. Oh and the oil is from the tranny filter bracket the guy put in my bed and flipped over . At least now my rubber bed mat, ratchet strap and half of my rented trailer will not rust. AND i know. i know the trailer is the wrong color! Sunbelt can still beat everyone around for a half day trailer rental....

I dropped my "In Stock" completely rebuilt K90/91 into the frame to see how it looks. What a difference it makes having the engine sitting in there.

Well I know it has been a while, but here is a picture of the 'work' I had the old girl doing yesterday. Even with half a ton of dirt on at first, she didn't even break a sweat!

And to think that I set up right next to buckrancher. What am I thinking? @chex313 - All sorts of folks attend the show. Some to look, some to buy, some to sell, some to show, and others just for the entertainment value
