Thank you for your patience!

Picked up the 1054 at the auction this afternoon along with the 54" dozer/snow blade. Other attachments they sold separately. Got so busy with guys congratulations on the tractor did not hear what other items went for.... Told the owner I will send him a few photos when I get done fixing her up. His Uncle bought it new in 1964. PS it drives like a dream!!

Many thanks to Karl and his family for taking a minute to pose for a picture! THANK YOU for all you do!

The things you see after the show

@wallfish

Here's the item I was thinking of.

Or, perhaps a photo of a session of Congress after a joint!

Isn't that a rare photo of Congress in joint session?...

Fender pan back to one piece. More hammering, grinding and still need to make the mounts.

Do you mean to tell me that a won't run without gas!

I just bought a jug of the RuGLYDE and it worked very well installing and sealing new tires. The container said it can also be used on rubber to clean it as well as condition it. I also bought the little "mop" brush to apply the product to the tires...I'm operating just like the big tire shops now!

6-24-1966 Senate passes landmark auto safety bill On this day in 1966, the United States Senate votes 76-0 for the passage of what will become the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson the following September, the act created the nation’s first mandatory federal safety standards for motor vehicles. “For the first time in our history,” Johnson declared, “we can mount a truly comprehensive attack on the rising toll of death and destruction on the nation’s highways that last year alone claimed 50,000 lives….We can no longer tolerate such anarchy on wheels.” The Senate also passed an companion bill from the Johnson administration authorizing expenditures of some $465 million over three years for state and city traffic safety programs, including driver education and licensing, auto inspection, highway design, traffic control and enforcement of traffic laws. The House subsequently passed the legislation by another unanimous vote, and Johnson signed it into law on September 9, 1966. In its final form, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act established an agency under the U.S. secretary of commerce that would set safety standards for all new motor vehicles beginning with the 1968 model year; that agency became the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the Department of Transportation. Among the first safety standards adopted by the agency were seat belts, windshield wipers, glare reduction on interior and exterior surfaces, padded visors and dashboards, recessed control knobs, outside mirrors, impact-absorbing steering columns, dual braking systems and standardized bumper heights

Not to hi-jack the thread here, but thanks for chiming in here guys about dealers out west. Really don't here much of dealers out that a way. Come to think of it I did know of one dealer out I think it was in Eastern Iowa.

Not sure of the name of the establishment or the exact location, but an old timer friend of mine bought a Wheel Horse back in the late 60s/early 70s brand new from a friend of his who was a dealer somewhere here in NW Oklahoma. Not sure but my 1277 may have came from same dealer...I do know it was bought brand new by a doctor who was a lifetime resident of our little town. From what I understand there were not near as many sold west of the Mississippi, and it does make them hard to find out here, but there were a few dealers out west.

There's been a dealer in Washington, MO as long as I can remember. And I'm pretty old.

It's all about whats in that "coffee" cup!

You can get new replacement; Never mind, Craig told you while I was typing.

Click, then scroll down in this link... You'll find Glens items are all top notch.

Yep, too bad... I think those attachments are what made the deal, as they all appear to be correct items to me.

The show hasn`t even started yet, today was just set up day. Wait until tomorrow.....

Kinda looks to me that all three of them are liking what they're seeing in the lobby. I need to go out there.

Worth is a ?? but they sell from $300 to $600 during the 8 or 9 years I have been watching the prices on them.

Love the two girls tractors. Great pictures

Well, what happened? Don't leave us hanging!!! Nevermind, I see the new thread with your purchase. congrats.

For those fortunate enough to be at the show, when you are posting pics of members, could you please run an ID caption with the pics for us newer members here at RS who haven't been widely exposed to or met many other members? It would sure be a BIG + for us "no shows". Thanks, Steve

30 + years ago there was a W/H dealer in Mexico Missouri and that's about 80 miles west of the big muddy. And one in Centraila Mo. another 20 miles west of Mexico Mo. and for sure one in KCMO.

ok thanks for the help

JUST LEAVING TO THE SHOW. 3;30 A.M.

I cut my first lawn yesterday since repairing the ignition issues, it sure felt good to have this great tractor running well again. I also have to change the filter and oil soon. The weather has been great here in MA, all the bad storms have been going south into the Middle Atlantic states, and other fronts have gone into the northern New England states, however we are very dry, lawns are turning brown and we need to water the garden every day, luckily we have an artesian well. Hope you have a great summer also and safe from Tornadoes

Best of luck, that's why it's nice to get there on Thursday. Glenn

Iif you only knew what the conversation was about!

Waiting for the bus???

6-23-1989 Batman released On this day in 1989, Tim Burton’s noir spin on the well-known story of the DC Comics hero Batman is released in theaters. Michael Keaton starred in the film as the multimillionaire Bruce Wayne, who has transformed himself into the crime-fighting Batman after witnessing his parents’ brutal murder as a child. As the film’s action begins, mob henchman Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) is gruesomely disfigured after Batman inadvertently drops him in a vat of acid during a stand-off in a chemical factory. After killing his boss (Jack Palance), Napier–now known as the Joker–goes on the loose in Gotham City, wreaking havoc and trying to turn its people against the caped crusader. When Batman’s affection for a beautiful newspaper reporter, Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger), is revealed, the Joker uses her to draw his rival out into the open, with dramatic results. Controversy had surrounded the casting of Keaton (best known for comedies like 1983’s Mr. Mom) as Batman. An entire roster of prominent leading men–reportedly including Mel Gibson, Dennis Quaid, Harrison Ford and Kevin Costner–were considered for the role, and Burton reportedly wanted to cast an unknown actor (a la Christopher Reeve in Superman). Having worked previously with Keaton in Beetlejuice (1988), Burton liked the idea of collaborating with him again, and the producers agreed, after screening Keaton’s 1988 film Clean and Sober, that Keaton had talent as a “serious” actor as well. In a new marketing strategy that would become a trend for movies featuring super heroes, Warner Brothers hyped Batman as a major summer “event” long before its release. The results were stunning, as the film grossed some $100 million in its first ten days of release, including $82.8 million at the domestic box office alone. Reviews for the film were mixed, though most critics praised Nicholson’s scene-stealing performance as the Joker. For his creation of the movie’s impressive Batmobile and the dark, cavernous Gotham City, Batman’s production designer, Anton Furst, won an Oscar for Best Art Direction – Set Decoration

And don't forget the ferocious guard dog!!!

You got a screw for it Howard??
