you asked for it...

06/03/2016 Restoration begins !!! I'm sure questions will be forthcoming . lol

Make room in the living room, or see Craig for a "magic shed".

Ok Thanks , looking foreword to it rain or shine . My birthday is June 24 . So happy birthday to me from me!

You can always ask us at the show what we think if you find something you would like but are just not sure. We are all lined up across from the food stand. Stop by and say hi.

welcome to Red Square Pretty much, every thing is for sale at the show. Buckrancher would even sell his Stainless for the right money. The good deals...you will have to see. Sometimes, a good deal can be had at the end of a show (they don't want to take it home)...sometimes the deals happen at the start...sometimes playing hard to get works...but never druel. Cash is best.

Buy, buy, buy; you will get help securing the load. Besides, the higher the pile is the less likely you are to be tailgated.

Will there be many better than good condition WH for sale at the big show? Looking to buy my first tractor period. Grass and snow plow will be used year round . I live 3 1/2 hours away . Do you guys think there will be a lot to choose from ? 1970s 80s 90s Thanks Dan a new member, future WH owner

just finished this up my new toy "RAT TRAP" RJ58 RAT ROD

TIGman, The one thing I have not commented on is your welding.Outstanding!!!! I had the honor of working with some talented certified welders over the years.Guys that could weld with mirrors to see their work.I learned a lot from them.Nice to see that pride in working with one's hands still exists.Luck,JAinVA JimAnderson Gloucester,Va

Does that mean I won't have to work anymore?

Some of us may sell ( donate , give ) Squonk away. No return policy on Squonk.

Bob, when I saw the title, that's what I thought of too! but you could have used a redish one! I found this one back in 2008 when someone asked about a c-130! Isn't it ironic that the two images are at exactly the same tilt? Must be the good side? Yes... the C-series were numbered based on the horsepower... there were no 13HP engines used. If you're seeing it in an ad, it's most likely a mis-key for a C-160.

Reason enough... to bring 'em into the fold.

well i figured i ought to get it so i did their she is geting a bath, once we got done we put her in the yard to get some fresh grass and dry some.

Wrapped up my sons tractor tonite so we had both out for some pics....

If you take the tires off and situate them just right you can get three in a short bed and close the tail gate, wish I had taken pictures.

Ain't that the truth. This is my storage garage, got more at home!

Box off a truck. I purchased one (cheap) years ago. Had both a side door and a rear roll up. Set it on railroad ties. Couldn't set it down where we wanted it. Rolled the box into place using round fence posts.

I just picked up this Charger 10 yesterday. I just need to know any good information about it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My foreman says I should put this 18hp Briggs& Stratton V twin in my 875. This is one he is in the process of building up for one of his pulling tractors.

TIGman, Go for it.Just make sure you have wheelie bars.Years ago I had a Speedex and a good friend back flipped it.The sight of the steering wheel bouncing off his chest 45 years out still haunts me.Both survived but man what a sight.Luck,JAinVA

Photos as you remove the parts and the contents of each container of parts and notations on the photos saved to a removable storage device like a flash drive.

I run a .5 cu in 5GPM pump on my homemade Power King loader. You have to match the pump output with the cylinder size. loader boom length, and engine RPM. If you have a hydraulic specialty shop near you talk to them.

The "ElCamino" with a back seat and covered trunk? Oh dang I meant 1978 Malibu Classic with a 406 SBC solid roller .614/.621 cam forged flat tops with 10.4-1 CR backed by a TH400 reverse manual valve body, 4.10 posi Trac rear....uuhhmm $ pit had it since 2001 my 30th BD present...Jeff.

Click here, for samples of the fun you'll find there.

They even have a loading dock there... to help you squeeze 'em in like sardines.

I am saying What. I have had almost every C-series ever made and never heard of a 130

Even the lawn chairs might be for sale on Saturday!

Traction is the bug-a-boo when pushing snow, not horsepower. You'll want to get some chains and add some weight to the rear.

The way they work when my foreman gets done with the motors I would be pulling wheelie's with the "1875" lol

Car ports are relatively cheap 12'Wx21'L starts $500 installed my 18'x21' with sides was $12-1300 installed, and holds 2 vehicles plus some, Jeff.

And this guy is not focusing on his dance partner...

Well today was my B- bay and wasn't expecting much. I new my wife was probably going to have some family and friends over to ,eat ,swim ,and let the kids drive some horses and have some fun . So when my cousin told me he was going out to start the 753 I thought nothing of it. While I was eating some cake I seen my son on the 656 drive by. A little while later my cousin wanted to go out in the garage to see what he needed to fix the hood on the RJ58 . We're sitting there talking for 5 , 10 minutes all the while the 656 is running, sitting out in the driveway. That's when I look up and see the hood ornament ! It's not a 656 it's the 1075 I called on earlier but someone was there buying it . Well that someone was my cousin and my son . This thing is raunchy , dirty, and just flat out cool in my eyes. . I'm really loving these short frame square hoods . And to top it off I also got a tee shirt ( there's no mistaking who I am at the show ) ! Enough talking here's some pics.

Garage In A Box.

I've reported this before, but since you asked the question, I'll repeat it.... My 1974 C-120 w/ a HH120 Techy that I bought in 2000 was my first WH. I used it for all my mowing and snow blowing for over 10 years, and it never failed to start and run perfectly. I have never done anything to this engine except routine maintenance and it still runs perfect today.

As some know i was asking about a fair price on a 400 suburban and i the doctor gave me my medicine for over the summer. So i picked it up a couple of weeks ago and now is is siting in the garage ready for the pro restoration. rusty was the first restoration but this one we are going to go show worthy. i have wanted a suburban forever so now is the chance to do it right. pictures are coming but it we haven't done much yet besides taking the deck off.

Tigman my coworker here has been at the factory for 45 yrs 30 of them Tool&Die maker and Blacksmithing on the side has made 1/4 scale civil war cannons in his home shop so yes it's not all schooling you learn as you go everyday,Jeff.

Believe it or not, only school classes were High School and Junior College. And all they taught you there was Arc and Gas welding. Like you say,the rest was all on the job training. 38 yrs in Tool&Die, 19 of that the Full time welder. I seem to weld alot of "Government" for people .....lol

Awesome welding, I play with the Tig basically just butt welding and fair with Mig and stick, never took any real classes, just Vo-AG/FFA and what I can learn in the machine shop at work,and play machinist too all on job training no schooling,Jeff.

I fell in love with El Camino when I was about 16 in 1964. Always wanted one , always a day late and a dollar short. Finally in 2001 need to replace some piece of junk. Not sure which one I had so many , wife said find an El Camino you are always talking about them. A few weeks late in a strip mall near home and there sits a black 1984 El Camino Choo Choo SS. Owned by one of the store owners. Took a ride , could not wait to dicker on price. I wanted it now, so no dickering. Spent $2800.00 on paint on 3300.00 car. Rest is history. Broke my back in 2006 so all work done by local garage since then. Carb rebuild and other numerous repairs needed on 1 visit cost $1,700.00 . I think my current list of needs no wants is about $1,000.00 . O well I will leave car to Granddaughter , she is 18 months old.

Grew up in 78 Malibu station wagon, then when I turned 16 we put a built 355 in it . My best memory of this car was a neighbor wanted to race my brothers 66 chevelle . We took the wagon and blew his doors off . Never did ask again to race the 66 .

The mind plays tricks on you at times. It's just like when I am typing buckrancher's real name, I will invariably type Brain instead of Brian...but really, I guess that's not wrong after all.

I think any deck from 1973 "no names" and "B" and "C" series will fit.

Northern Tool has a few. I built my own loader with this pump and a 6" pulley, but it might be just a bit too powerful, the bucket moves a little faster than I would like. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200329712_200329712

I think that would most likely be the route to go on this one, but the horse the wheel would be going on has a loose fit go kart wheel on it, so I am leaning towards just buying one outright and saving hassle altogether. Nonetheless the information I got here will certainly help when it comes time to do my lawn ranger wheel removal, and my good 656's restoration!

If adjusting the tension on that friction collar and nut doesn't solve the problem, have a look at the left side of the hoodstand for a fairly common issue. If this lock-down tab is broken, the shift lever will slop around almost by itself.

You guys are great. Genuine advice AND comic relief wowee!

Like @JimD said . There is no cure , just more horses !
