Specialwheelhorse Jimmy Rodgers has gone to a new stable in heaven 07/25/17. One of the TRULY nicest humans on earth. Such a sad happening, but he suffers no longer. Keep his memory alive in your heart and a prayer for his wife and daughters.

Last week my daughter said she wanted to do some mowing. I've had the generator on the 314-8 so I took that off and installed the deck. Today I came home from work late and "caught" her mowing the back yard. She was pretty proud of herself and was having a blast. I love when the kids run the Horses. Last night she took the 606 Rat for a ride around the neighborhood for about 20 minutes. She was gone so long I almost sent out a search party. The video is from today. Sorry if it's rotated...The pic is from last year in case the video doesn't open. IMG_4618.MOV

Allis Chalmers garden tractor - $2295 (White River Junction, Vt.) Can't post the link but you can search if interested. I thought this was so neat that I just had to post it. Someone hear wants it but I knew others would enjoy seeing it! That is SO ugly that you just have to like it! For some reason makes me think of a Dung Beetle! Ain't it awesome!

I would suggest you use a small pipe wrench on the shift lever while you are turning the shift knob; pulling the two toward each other so the shift lever isn't being torqued.

My son decided to work on my franken 606 today too. Can't go anywhere on my tractors without him needing a ride! I'm pretty sure he has the illness too.

Some of you know that I sold all my tractors this year because we bought a RV to tour the country for the next 3to 5 years. BUT I still have this one to work with I put new wider tiers on it front and back. I think it`s a keeper good little tractor. I did all my landscaping years ago and I did all by hand = young and dumb. So I do not need a large tractor any more. I still keep my eye out every day for a good deal to flip. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I may only have ONE but I still enjoy this site every day.

You may want to invest in a pair of wheelie bars and a Sumo Suit!

Prayers for him and family.

The term "Wheel Horse Red" is quite ambiguous. The Ponds liked a variation of International Harvester Red for their early tractors. Through the years, many different paint suppliers provided their formulas for WH Red, each one slightly different than the next. Most of the early tractors were painted without primer which will produce a different look to the top coat than one with primer. We have seen that some Wheel Horses appeared to have had a yellow primer. The color of the primer made the top coat appear lighter or darker. So find something that looks good and as long as it's red, and it's on a Wheel Horse, it's Wheel Horse Red. Just my 2 cents worth.

I've had this 701 for about a year. It ran nice but didn't look the greatest. This summer I decided it was going to get a make-over before our local tractor show. The following pictures show it before and after.

hi everybody, im back on here after a 5 yr absence. lm looking to get back into this and build me a big puller. heres some pics of the last one I built but had to sell because of divorce Looking for a 12 horse to begin with again, raider, c120, 312-8 if anybodys close drop me a line. interested in running or not. would also love another lawn ranger for a pit tractor

Steering may need some repairs

"Ran when parked"

Prayers coming from Pa. Rest in Peace Mr. Rodgers.

RIP Jimmy... you will be missed brother.

Prayers !

Teach your children well, their fathers past is all they go by.

@Govlarry dale Interesting enough....it is your tractor and if you are happy with the color you use, that is all that matters....unless you are married!

Great to see the kids outside having fun instead of sat on the PlayStation great pic

I would like to thank everyone for your help. C- 195 gear reduction steering project is complete. It's unbelievable how much easier it turns. 😆

I had something trying to dig under the barn at the back of the barn. I had previously bought one of these traps on sale and decided to use it. It is very easy to set with a big screwdriver for leverage. I set the trap, put chunks of very well done [to give off more odor] hot dog inside just enough to cover the trigger, and placed a few chunks around and on top of the trap..https://www.ruralking.com/duke-dog-proof-raccoon-trap-510.html Caught a big 'Possum the first night. I did a little research and found out that that this trap [the Z-Trap] will catch critters whether they are pushing in or trying to pull the bait out. The draw back for coon trappers is catching more 'possum and the occasional skunk . if all you want to catch are coons, the Duke brand will exclude more 'possum and skunk

Just completed a lean to off my shop, 30' x 9'. Seems a 30' x 30' shop with 6 WH's, 2 project WH's, 1 Zero Turn and 1 ATV does not leave much room to work.. Will be adding some crushed limestone Friday, complete the side panels and calling it done. Material was extremely affordable, one of my boys is the Sales Manager at a steel building manufacture here in town, d and the labor was very reasonable. Win, Win. Is nice to be able to walk around without having to step over red stuff! Dennis

I'm guessing most all of us have something to sell from time to time and most of us know how important it is in this day of visual multi-media to spend some extra effort towards delivering a great photo. Now you may have other pointers and examples, and please share, but I just had to share this one: It hits the mark in SO many ways that I will just leave it to you without any of my comments!

So I sold my two other tractors. Unfortunately I just don't have the room. I kept my first. The 3/12. Why? It's in great shape, 12hp magnum runs perfect and what's tougher than a cast iron kohler? The 8 speed is simple, needs a clutch spring but other wise perfect and this tractor has the 1 1/8" axles. I put a facet fuel pump in last year and am very happy with it. Changed fluids and that's it. I kept the 8" wheels off the work horse and put deestones on today. Looks awesome. I plan on adding 8" front wheels, arear rock shaft and some other stuff too. I have the mower and bag for it and the 48" plow which was awesome last winter. I will also put my 2" receiver on this one too. Forgive the mess we are still unpacking and I still have to set up my shop.

If I counted correctly, you just used up 8 of your 9 lives. Looks like you have two options : 1. hire a lawn care and stay off your tractors. 2. buy a big life insurance policy, use your ninth life, and cash in on the insurance.

66 Allis Chalmers B10, 68 Allis Chalmers B112, 64 John Deere 110, 77 John Deere 210-Custom

I only paid $50 for my vice grips, but mine were pretty rusty. I still use the vice grips, but not for throttle control on the Commando 8.

Or $100 pliers and a free tractor!

The 68 Allis Chalmers is getting repainted in a few days. For those wandering about the Daffy Duck on the hood of the 210, Daffy was her favorite cartoon character. I lost her 20 years ago at the age of 16 in a car accident. It's a tribute tractor for her. Sorry, I am referring to my daughter.

Thank you very much. This is my 77 B80 and my custom 633. The 633 is a tribute tractor for a close friend friend who lost his fight with cancer in February.

I think I would stay off the Craftsman mowers , I don't think they like you.

I suggest it's just "Today!?! We are pushed to do SO much that we don't have time to reflect. (a nice way to say "Think about it!" first!) Pressure! Get it done now! Next! Savor the fact that you are alive and basically unharmed. Ask yourself would you like to stay that way. Would slowing down help? It ain't rocket science, just old time common sense. Git it done, but live for the next task! OR IT DON'T COUNT!

You beat me to it @KC9KAS . Here's a picture of @WHX11 on one and a link to the post you just mentioned @DennisThornton . http://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article60444281.html

"I haven't tried to start this fine tractor" ... In other words there isn't a snowball's chance in H___ that it will run without pouring a bunch of money into it.

Allis Chalmers "G" model. Allis-Chalmers Model G The Model G is a small implement carrier tractor that was made by the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company. At the time of its introduction the Model G was unique for its rear-mounted, Continental N62 engine. It was a four-cylinder engine with a 2⅜ × 3½ inch bore and stroke. The Model G was designed for small farms and vegetable gardeners, and had its own line of implements specifically designed for it, including ploughs, planters, and cultivators. The design of the Model G allowed for a great view of the belly-mounted implements. David Brown Ltd. in the UK introduced a very similar tractor in the mid-1950s called the 2D where the tubular frame acted as an air receiver for the compressed air implement lifting system. David Brown were also disappointed with the number of sales.

Hey guys, Just thought I would give a little update on the damaged pulley situation. I mentioned that I was going to work on a temporary fix to try and save the rounded out pulley. I have completed that fix, and have successfully completed a full mow with the modifications. In case anyone is interested, here is what I did. First I took the damaged pulley and drilled 3 holes all the way through centering the hole in the groove on the pulley. This allows for the heads of some bolts I will add to press flatly against the pulley surface. I then used the existing spindle bolt, and drilled a hole through 2 3/16" steel plates that I made. The corners of the steel plates touch the edges of the pulley outside diameter. I took the 2 plates shown below, and welded them together for a little extra rigidity. I then welded the spindle bolt to the steel plates, and drilled some holes to match the holes that I drilled into the pulley. This allowed me to put 3 bolts and nuts through the pulley and secure it to the steel plate and screw combo I made. I made sure the spindle bolt was as centered as possible to the center hole in the pulley. Finished assembly shown below. I finally had to cut the excess bolt off of the new fixture and install back onto the mower deck. Here is the final assembly shown below. I don't know how long this will last, or if it is the best solution for this type of problem, but it has worked for me so far, and was a worthwhile attempt at saving the pulley since I could not find a new one. Thanks for all of the previous help as well!

Gotta get them outside!

Funny that the Julian build date stamped onto an ID tag for a 1979 tractor would be 6171, indicating that it was built in the 171st day of 1976. If the C-81 were all original with it's K-181 engine, I would value it at around $400.00. The KT17 (series 1) engine does not add any value. Just my 2 cents worth.

Godspeed.

Thanks for letting us know. My prayers for him and his family.

My thoughts and prayers to family and friends

"You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave"

Ok, again here's what I see.... top arrow points at black dot visible over hood, once again likely a motion control lever making this a hydro tractor. short right arrow.. factory headlight panel long left arrow... hood decal from 70-73 model tractors (likely replacements) and no visible gas tank sticking out beyond the dash. long right arrow... Tecumseh powered tractor. bottom arrow... no front mounted belt tensioner. Add all this together, and I think this was a 1968 Charger 9 or Charger 10 with replaced hood decals (maybe even a whole replaced hood). As with all things Parts are so interchangeable between years/models that without complete documentation the best we can do is guess. Good luck with finding and restoring one. I shall enjoy watching the story here!

Sorry to hear about your daughter, Jim, I can't even imagine.... I just saw your post about your custom 633. It seems you have a special talent for "tribute" tractors, nice work!

I used regal red on my last job with gray primer. But the next time I'm going to use red primer with regal red it's make it a little deeper red.

Your 3rd gear is shot from shifting on the fly. Easy to replace and the vendor wheelhorseman has them ready to ship. Check the vendor section for his link. Wheelhorsepartsandmore

Take a look here, you'll see a few of us made it... http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/171-2017-whcc-show-pictures/
