I have been searching for an original 754 for a few years now as it is a rare bird that I have wanted for some time. Finding a 754 is difficult enough but when this one came up for sale locally from another member here I had to get it. Motor was bad in it and will need a rebuild. I found a replacement 8 that was recently rebuilt from another local member. After swapping parts and some paint here she is.... I do plan on rebuilding the original motor at some point but it needs machine work etc. That will be a future project.

Went to menards for light bulbs and picked up this cheap denver model menards plastic semi. Sorry Menards it's now a Wheel horse Hauler.

I was going through some of my files today and found a copy I have (that I did not know I had). It is dated August 1, 1987 for the Rahrig Sales, Inc. of Forest, Ohio. It is many pages but I have scanned several items that I think most of you Red Square Members will like to see. If everyone who now wants a Kwik Way Loader for one of their tractors bought one in 1987 Kwik Way would probably still be on back order! First , four pages of the KWIK Way Loader sales handout. Second, The Lawn and Garden Equipment Six page color pamphlet used to sell some attachments at dealers. Third, A price list for carts, cultivators, dethatchers, etc from Rahrig Sales, Inc in Spring Summer 1988. Fourth, Several pages of dealer sales policy issued by Wheel Horse to the dealers and the incentives for "floor plans" etc.

Actually I picked up 2

@Ed KennellKennell Requested pics in another thread so here's a few of our walls. Yes the levels, are. My grandfather that got me interested in Tractors in the first place used to use that big sickle. The saws were his as well. I used the one at the top just the other day. My other grandfather liked birch trees, as do I. There are several other paintings with birches. Various tools from inheritance and other finds. Trina's wall of karate including her Black Belt certificate. Yes, she knows how to use those "decorations" along with several others. And the dog's favorite indoor spot. Her name is Meeha. Feel free to share your own pictures!!

I finally got the 701 put together and out for some pictures today!

Sunny and 60 degrees today. Time to spread last winters collection of wood ashes and finish splitting next winters wood supply.

This was made and used by my wife's Grandfather. And a few hole makers I have collected.

I was able to get a bead to seat on This old, crusty wheel to seal using JB-Weld / sanding / paint: No tube, no seam sealer and so far no leaks.

Just noticed...the Daffy Dills are pushing through the @roadapples.

How 'bout one that says...if a Tecumseh shakes it, the Squonk will break it.

Sounds like a lot of hot air

WOW! Who did the graphics? They look great!!! Must be a very talented guy!

It is, but for some reason over the last several years whenever “epoxy” is mentioned I think of the clear stuff. PC7 has been ordered. Will be here Tuesday. Oh - thanks for the video & other YouTube videos links. Impressive.

30 years ago I when i was a cub scout and i took home the grand champ trophy in the pinewood derby, 30 years later my 7 year old took home a 2nd. thought it made a cool photo.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I hear you about the non ethanol fuel. Fortunately we have lots of places to get it.

Almost any thing can be saved. I was able save this rim by doing some "noodle welding" with a wire feed welder followed by a lot of grinding.

I think JB Weld being two part mix "is" epoxy....

That should work but you would have to be real careful remounting tire to be sure you didn't use the tire irons against that part of the wheel

I don't do cosmetics my horses each have their work

Clean it up paint it and use a tube

Glad I could help......

Only thing I can think of to say is ...You fellas just ain’t right!!!!😂

Bought from original owner. Parked in barn between 66 & 68. Pulled out of barn in about '08

Nice job! PM me your address - I’ve got two for you to do.

Cordless drills before they had cords...

Very nice work and outcome...Tube would have been a lot less work

OK, The only cutter I have is the one in the tool. The only chisel that is marked is the upside down one...it is Stanley. The four fold rule is marked Made in England. The metal folded rule is a Lufkin. Yes, that is a leather strop. I threw in the Stanley Butt Hinge Gauge. Now details on the Brace / drill. It is marked K D 110 Interesting, with the drill handle removed and the ratchet engaged on the brace, it is possible to bore a hole square to a wall and 1.5" from the perpendicular wall. Oh, I did get the knives sharpened.

We learn new stuff every day! The best part of being a knuckle dragger is that I have lots left to learn

You could build up the damaged area with a simple two part epoxy.

This is the same design plow my new neighbor uses. VID_20181224_163135.mp4

WOW this is getting better by the minute. Owner definitely knew his his tools and from what I see knew how to use them. That brace is extremely rare. It looks similar to The Millers Falls probably made by them. Oh, actually Stanley 67 spoke shave. Should have rosewood handles. They can be removed and inserted perpendicular to the other one in the threaded part above blade.Another pricey item. Good news on chisels too. They look like a version of the Stanley ever last except for handles. #95 butt gauge with box. Box is important. That is an older one. That box seldom found. Wet Grinder sweet too. Some good stuff there. Enough there to buy a pretty good tractor.

Good day work is done... Firstly i reworked the Battery Terminals looks much nicer and more savety shortened also the pos. Wire again at 10cm. less resistance. then i also reworked the Ground Terminal. given the Startersolenoid also a new Connector, was not propperly crimped. bind all wires to a harness and clean it up While cabeling is done i searching for a hole for the C2 Light.. found a Light that fits above the Flasher Switch, i think sensfully Place for it.. put my Trailer on and Check all lights. All works perfect, sooo lets do a Testride in it's real Habitat.... so quick to the Owner of the Forrest, if he allows me to drive thru. Yap, you can, but please have a look and inform me where are huge Stormdamages if you see some. Ok, i'll take a look.... The Testride looks good so far, 2 Hrs ride and have some fun... Firstly 2WD, later 4 WD fantastic, where this buddy climbs.. this ricefield Tyres make deep impacts on normal grass, but they have a ultimate grip uphill. Think i will keep them. After that first ride i asekd him for collecting some firewood and told him, there are several Stormdamages and one wich is maybe critical. He meant if you block the Way for walkers on that section, yes you can collect, firewood, also Stomdamages if you like... he looks at me and meant "you can grab all what is Horizontal... as long as you can bring it yourself out of the Forrest..🤓 Your Chainsaw is just allowed to shorten wood, 😅 prohibited is to cut any Tree. 😂" Ok, he maybe knows me very well, but he knows also i'm honest in promises. ....or it was maybe not my best idea to ask that, with my Chainsaw in Hands...😂 Who knows... Oh, found some Firewood, i can have it, if i can get it out.....😂😂😂 with no use of Chainsaw to cut - only Storm damages.. I have just to shortened... Yeeeeeeeeeees 😎

We’re through 70-ish gallons of sap so far, much quicker than Wednesday’s bout! We’re starting to get some amber color toward the end

Looks factory but better then.

Make yourself some alignment pins makes removal and re installation a lot easier. 3/8" NC Bolt cut off head taper it a bit and make a slot for a screw driver.

Only because I've had great results replacing lost material using this stuff...

K161 possibly? I think K181 is 8 hp and 161 is 7.

@Tractorhead run over flattened bread pan + hatchet = heat shield you called it buddy, the blower shut down on heat overload, so we’ll be extending the pipe eventually.

Not sure about blue paint spots. Replacement Kohler motors did come new with a blue paint on the tins. Kind of a Chrysler Blue color. Post some more pictures of your RJ 35 find CoryB! We all love to see wonderful originals found in someones place of revered storage!

SWEEET! Great job

No plans on pulling with a wheelhorse. I just thought it was an unique piece of farming history. Did some research, found this:

She’s starting to look like a tractor again.

wow! nicely optioned too

Finally found time to get over to O’Qinn trailer and look at their trailers. When I got there, I knew I recognized the salesman, but couldn’t place him. Finally realized it was Danny O’Quinn who used to drive for Jack Rousch a few years ago. Nicest guy you’ll ever meet. I ended up getting a tube top 76”x16’. Really nice trailer, but it didn’t have the heavy duty gate. I didn’t want to pay $600 more for the same trailer to get a heavy gate. So, I just made my first mod - reinforced the gate by boxing two uprights and adding cross braces for ramps. Most of my welds looked like bird turds since it has been so long since I did that much welding. Finally started making decent looking welds when I was almost done. Last pic is the before of the gate. A few more mods yet to come. I’ll post more on them in the days to come. The trailer hit me at $1895 with another $149 for the toolbox. Pretty fair price for what I got I think. Time to wash the welding stink off!!
