Winter chores don’t get better than this. In a couple years, we’re going to get a fixer-upper and rebuild it together. He’d spend all day around the tractor if he could.

Happy Birthday Big Guy. I hope you don’t mind me sharing once again one of my favorite pics of you and Emory... May God bless you both throughout the upcoming year!

I had to close a few airways, so I suppose I should create a few more near the bottom.

Didn't EB @ebinmaine just do this thread awhile back?!?!? I got mine to humor another guy on here who was calling me a sally because I got no callouses on my hands. Think I'll go switch it back to WHX99 now... Your a faster typer than me EB ...'spose now Craig is gonna give me grief about that

Thanks guys! You beat my wife to the punch. Before we left for work, my wife simply said “Is today your birthday?” Somehow I gotta feeling she forgot! You would have read my obituary if I forgot hers though😂!

Only the finest of people are born on this day 😂 Happy Birthday brother!!

Used to race motorcycles in the woods and, well...

My family sold Allis Chalmers tractors (dad , grandpa owners and I also worked there) I later on installed HVAC equipment. So there’s a double meaning for mine. Was wondering what the name change was all about Jim @Madgex21 .... only took four months to get the callouses and pipe dope of my hands. Doctors asked what the heck I did for my hands like that, so I told them I actually worked for a living.

So i have been working on my top secret custom the last couple weeks and i have been throwing around my lighting issues of modern vs traditional headlights, i have chosen HL5 's. I couldnt find a good comparison of filament vs led bulbs in the HL5 setup so i thought i would try some myself and share them with you. My main goals were brightness and low amp draw because there will be used on a pullstart motor and a small battery. I found these bulbs on fleabay i thought the led panel might be nicer than a bulb because of surface area they come with the interchangeable bases too. They fit inside nicely I will have to wait on the longevity test till it gets nicer out So here is the biggest perk, look at how small that amp draw is! Here are the light output comparisons the box is about 2 ft away across the bench Standard Filament bulb LED panel bulbs I hope this helps someone out if they are trying to decide to go to leds

Got mine when I did 4x4 off road comp's in my Land Rovers. Think it had something to do with my driving.

Presenting Richie’s finest, in my opinion...

I have no idea what would or wouldn’t fit, but have wondered why no one has tried to install a 2 or 3 cylinder Kubota in a D250.

The 1st 3 are the 857...the last one is the 876. terry, like Shannon said...you have to disconnect the throttle cable. You can adjust the engine speed by where that pinch clip pinches the throttle cable. It can allow you to pull the throttle out further by where you pinch the outer cable. check it out.

Heck, I would settle for twice that age!

Happy Birthday @dells68, we are all glad you were born!

Happy Birthday to @KyleLengerich! Have a great day! (but wear your raincoat ). Oh, to be 31 again.........

Before joining here I was on another (full size) tractor site gathering info on my Oliver model 2-44 industrial loader backhoe. So Oliver2-44 was my user name there, So I used it here too

I was almost ready to hook you up with a disguise.

My initials and my birth date also my favorite tractor

Yeah............I want to know more about this multiple personality identity thing here.......and how to switch back and forth here at RS!

This was my thought exactly!!! A nice lil turbo charged Kubota or Yanmar should shoe horn in nicely. If you don't like diesel power you could also go with a liquid cooled Yanmar gas. Either way I would think that most any engine could be made to work, with a little ingenuity. @mr biggs you may also want to go on to My Old Machine to see what kind of modification's the guys across the pond have done with their Gutbrod tractors.

Yup....Honeymoon's over!! Happy Birthday!

Yeah, I'd settle for that too!!!

Interesting way to bypass climbing up steps....or is it a way to get to the carport if the ground is too soft?

It beats video games! Learns so many skills and values.

It had been sitting quite a while since it last was run, there a slight chance it could have a stuck ring. Spray a good amount of carb cleaner down the spark plug hole and let it sit a few days. You might flick the flywheel back and forth a tiny amount to work the cleaner and rings Before you start it upsquirt a small amount of oil in cyl to lube it back up then spin it over with the starter to blow excess cleaner and oil out

Had a up close and personal encounter with a "Saw Palmetto" which is appropriately named. Several inch long cut on my hand, so I did what any self respecting Man would do and covered with on hand products, blue shop towel and electrical tape. ER nurse saw this and said "Oh look, a Man-Daid." I guess she has seen a lot of these home remedy band-aids in her day. She said she prefers electrical tape over duct tape as it is easier to remove and clean wound.Just an FYI if you have both tapes on hand.

There is NO WAY you can have this many belly laughs on FB!

I don't post my " OH NO......NOT AGAIN" moments because it the wife don't know it happened I sure don't want her to find out here!

I think we all have that plaque, we just don't go around sharing it

Ya know you ain't too far off Digger... just to please the SWMBO I once watched a program on the boob tube with her on judgeing dogs and livestock. It was said that if a animal has an HONORABLE scar it cannot be used against grading the animal. That said being injured during resto of a horse HAS to be honorable right?

This has always been an interesting thread, here are a few old ones too. Posted December 29, 2014 What can I tell you, I am Nuts about 953s.

You can change your name 3 times in a 30 day period. The name change will follow all your posts past and present. Click on your name next to avatar top right hand corner. From the pull down > account settings>display name>change> save. When I first signed up I was WHX3 as I had a meager harem of three tractors...two were/are verts.... Geez was I a greenhorn back then...worse part still am! We should have a name change day where every one changes their name and we have to guess who you are! Sounds pretty stupid fun doesn't it?!?! See my thread in bumps if you wanna know about the Madge thing. @Achto thinks I'm in the witness protection program shhhhh it's a GT Mafia thing...

Worked at a place the guys called me Julio. In the mining business most all people get a nick name. I can remember "cannonball" "kung foo panda" "Big Z" "Smirf" "3 left" (that guy cut two fingers off of his left hand) "cherry joe" to name a few. (real tough when someone dies sometimes they don't but it in the obit). Anyway, I was getting an email account and hundreds of Julio names were taken. I just spelled it backward and added my age at the time oiluj52.

Little stinker is just a few years away from his own Lawn Ranger. Mine somehow ended up looking like Paul Bunyan and care more about playing college football so oh well, still not gaming in the basement. Kids have a way of coming back around to the old mans way of thinking. Not sure thats always a good thing....but mostly so I hope.

Tell her I said to quit being a nincompoop and no more silly stunts! Don't tell her the boys like to spark & court a girl in a cast!

A lot of posts with great photos of kids and tractors. Undoubtedly they will be the next caretakers of these machines.We should create a section just dedicated to kids and their tractors where they could also participate. In the very least lets create a calendar just with the kids.

We find that green always grows where we don't want weeds and the grass never grows in the very few places that we would actually like it too. if I could figure out how to switch that around I probably would become an instant millionaire.

She took a spill on Sunday night. Ice packs and ACE wraps haven’t done much help, so it’s time to get it checked. We don’t want gymnastics or skiing to do any more harm..

Oh no, I have a countdown.... errr.... deadline! I don’t do well under pressure of deadlines!

So a discussion of air filter options left @953 nut with no choice but to generously donate a NOS Kohler air cleaner to Frank. That guy, I tell ya what. He’s such a nice man! I found out it must have been for a smaller carb, so it will need a little massaging. No worries, I rebuilt an ignition switch recently and I discovered it was a similar construction style.

Your never on FB

Do you WANT me to cancel that check I just sent you for that fuster cluck gear?...

for The help I’ve recieved on the site becoming a supporter is well worth it. This kind of experience and expertise anywhere else would cost a fortune. Here are the rest of the pics I wasn’t able to load earlier

Fixed

did you mean this plaque?

Theoretically it was time for a Pic. yes in theorie, but i forgot to Fill some Diesel in my Supporter, firstly it do a small testride in the Fields, to look how it goes into deep Snow without Chains. I was amazed, 4WD and diff lock is absolutely amazing.. but short befor i was back, it runns out of Fuel.. 😎🙄 i must recover it from an unpleasure Stay. if i finished, it was to dark to make a Pic. Have to put it beside, because our Neighbour wants to move the mass of Snow further in the Fields and he was take care not to hurt my loved Machines with his Big "Monster" Honestly it was sure a funny Pic with the small Horse pulls the bigger supporter... It's not moving fast, like more a "try to dig" with it on Hook but finally my little Horse Managed it. i'm proud of my Horse and the Engineswap was a perfect decision. ok, tomorrow i must kept some Fuel, once Diesel for the supporter and Once Super for the Horse... - have bad taste about bleed the Diesel... damn.. 🙄🚜😢🤔

Let's plow a bit... after a small Breakfast we have a look outside... ok, just a bit Snow..😎 Kati tries to shovel but it was wet Heavy Snow. The max. She can pull the Shovel... let's start the Engine... aaaaaaand Plow with the FEL... did i told you fellas, i love my Wheelhorse. here you can see it in Action.. finaly my Horse made it's job as usual. after space running out, the Neighbour comes with his huge Fendt and cleans my Mountains, but my smyll FEL builds immediately new.. today's count 40 Shovels until now, and it still snows continousely.
