No it doesn't stand for the lastest craze in wrestling organizations. It's Women on Wheel Horses! So if you have any pics of you wife, girlfriend, significant other, daughter, SWMBO, shackup, better half or whatever copping seat time here's the place for them! I know there some out ther ladies so don't be shutterbug shy! I actually encourage my Missus to get on one as it's ALOT less friction when I drag a new old one home! BTW this was all @Mikey the Monkey's idea when I mentioned she does most of the mowing so if it flops he get the flogging!

Great thread @WHX24, even if it wasn't your idea. I had to do a lot of digging but I finally found a picture to add to the thread. A picture of the love of my life, with my wife at the wheel.Truth be known I'd be a lost puppy with out my lovely wife. This pic was taken shortly after I restored my first .So with out further ado, a picture of the Horse that started my addiction and the saint who puts up with my crap.

Not to many pics here...

These are the most important women in my life on Horses... Mom: Ok—so she’s in the wagon, I’ll find a pic of her on a horse somewhere in my archives unless @pullstart beats me to it my princess: She wouldn’t be happy that I shared this photo from a few years ago because she is so grown up now! These are more recent: playing in the yard! my queen: The wife on her 523D. Better pics to follow as I can dig them out...

Drove my 854 today for the 1st time ever! I picked this up back in August from the closed dealership we cleaned out. It had to have been there at least 25 yrs and the dealers wife had no idea why it was there. It had the side covers off the left and right sides but appeared intact otherwise. Bought it , brought it home, cleaned it up , and started investigating. Replaced all the wiring, new Kohler points and condenser, and we had spark. Pulled the carb off and it looked like brand new inside (sat so long it never saw this horrible ethanol gas ) . Cleaned the glass sediment bowl under the tank and replaced the seal , new fuel line , put in a battery , and it fired up like it was used last week! But it wouldn't shift. Loosened the set screw on the shift lever, pulled the lever out , realigned everything , reinstalled the shifter, and life was good! Looks like it still has all the original belts on it too. Even mowed a small strip of grass with it . The first 2 pics are where we found it, #3 is out of the garage for the first time , # 4 is after a bath, and #5 & #6 are today. Other than what I paid for it , I have $3.00 in it.

Love it @WHX24! One of my favorite memories of last summer was when we both got on separate Horses and rode around our property and pond. I had our 1 year old on my lap on the B80 and she was riding in style on the C120. We never got any pictures but it sure was fun/romantic/heart warming...now she's pregnant again due May 1st

Some nice looking machines on there so far. Talk about digging through the archives, this is from 2010 when I didn't need a cab and the visibility was much better than with one, but as age creeps up nothing like a cab when the wind direction changes and I would come walking in the house looking like frosty the snowman, enough is enough. Enjoy the pics and thanks for the topic.

I dunno man.... They let me in....

All right, all right, guys! Photos to follow! But it sure is great to be back and thanks for the warm welcomes! I've got a lot of catching up to do just in finding my way around the site. The forum format has changed incredibly (for the better!) in my absence, and the quality of the members, like a fine bottle of [insert your favorite poison!], continues to be first rate! Thanks to all!

Continued prayers for Scottie, your family, the doctors, nurses, techs, and everyone involved. God is good, and I love it when an unbeliever or even someone who is indifferent to the Lord can be shown the power of prayer!

Did get some horsing around done today tho.... Whomever said a different tractor for every attachment is spot on. Took me four hours to swap blowers on tractors but did not help that I am a newbie! Fitted the deuce up to the main squeeze and put the single on Mr. Backup. I think somebody said once those deuces are heavy! Finnish up the chute rotator and some skids be ready to rock. Put some weights on that @PeacemakerJack loaned me and good to go...... hopefully. .

Trina had a big karate event this past Saturday about 2-1/2 hours from us in Woodstock VT. Free Training Day. Put-on by one of the other black belts from her school. 12 Masters of their own craft taught classes for an hour each. 2 at a time for 6 time slots. I participated in 4. 1500s European hand weapons. Kempo/ Jiu Jitsu defenses. Board breaking. Thai chi. I BROKE BOARDS !!! I've put the board breaking videos on my YouTube channel. We decided to make a weekend out of it and play tourist. Friday we stopped at Quechee gorge to look around. It's a 1/2 mile or so and 200 vertical feet to the bottom of the gorge. There's a hydroelectric dam upstream we also walked to. Bottom of the gorge at the end of the walking trail. From a nearby point to the end, looking upstream. See the bridge... The hydroelectric dam. Closeup of the left side of above dam. After that we went up the road a little to the Vermont Institute Of Natural Sciences. They are a rehabilitation facility for birds of prey in particular, and others as well. These Bald Eagle pics are NOT ZOOMED. This female was just a few feet away and Trina was able to aim the camera through the cage wires. Great horned owl Male snowy owl Peregrine falcon Barred owl pair. Screech owl. These little guys are only about 8 inches tall. Rough legged hawk. This the new elevated walking path through the trees. There's a tower where the pic is from that's 81 feet from the ground. We're above the tops of many of the trees Now for a bit of rest.....

took a picture of my Lawn Ranger today

Here here you go guys. I normally link them right into the thread but they hadn't finished loading when I was putting this on.

Thank you Joette for the update. My heart continues to ache for Scottie and all that he has had to go through since the accident. I prayed for him and your family once again, moments after I read the above post. It is hard for me to put into words the physical, emotional, and mental strain that you and Lowell must be feeling through all of this. I keep reminding myself though that God was so gracious to spare his life in that horrific accident. Because of that, God has a plan for his future. It is my earnest desire that one day you all will be able to look back on this difficult time and say, “now I see why we had to go through this challenge!”. Scottie—the Stertz family will continue to pray for you for complete healing and that the Great Physician would continue to make believers out of the earthly physicians attending your case! Keep your eyes up and on Him through your most difficult times. Whenever you wear that hat I brought you back from Kiev Ukraine remember that there are folks praying for you in Wisconsin and also across the country as a result of this great forum. And remember the Lord’s promise, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee!”

Air cleaner pressure sensor.

Well after a couple years away from RS to take care of some life issues, I'm glad (and long overdue!) to be back among you fine folks! During my absence, though, my tractors didn't sit idle and still continue to run and work flawlessly. Love these rugged old machines! So.....went to an estate auction a few weeks ago and a clean 1990 520H came up on the block. Given the type of estate there weren't many tractor buffs around and I got the machine for a very fair price. Aside from needing cleaning and a new battery it appears to have been maintained and runs extremely well with a whole 425 hours on the meter (that works!). Now as some of you may remember, when I "clean" a new-to-me machine I really mean I tear it down, sometimes to a full frame-off rebuild. Don't think I'll need or want to be quite so picky with this one. Question for you, please: when I pulled off the air cleaner cover and housing I discovered a bolt in the bottom of the housing with a hole drilled through it and just outside the cleaner housing there's a hose attached to said bolt. The hose doesn't connect to anything at the moment but it looks like it may have been attached to a plastic nipple that broke off somewhere. Any ideas??? I can provide pix if that helps to better describe what I'm talking about. Great to be back, and thanks for reading!

Hahahaha.... No no. That was one of the auction finds from August '18. I can't remember if that was the one we babysat for @buckrancher or the one traded him for Trina's 867. Super cute but we needed something a little more practical and larger.

That is a good pic Dan ....Haveta dig thru the archives ...I know I have pic of her or your niece on the 520 at a show .... What's up with the cherry early RJ EB?? You holdin out on us???

'Ow do, Duff from over 'ere. Hard t' stay away, init.

Nailed it! Made a trip over to the C-120 just now and it’s the same. Guess I have a spare. Thanks guys.

That seems to happen a lot to me! I am at the point now that I hide stuff from myself. That cover looks like 70's gear drive?

Father in Heaven, you are the giver of life and the great physician. You know our needs and wants. Please heal Scott and comfort his family. We know that his body has been damaged and the physicians are doing what they can, we know that with your healing hand on him Scott will be cured. We also know that you can make him whole again, you can repair damaged tissue, you can enable him to continue to serve you on this Earth. Lord, hear my petition. Be with his father and mother and all family as they experience this storm in their lives. I don’t always understand your plan for us, but I do trust that you work all things for the good. I only ask that it be your will to give Scott good health. I ask these things in the name of your Son and my Savior, Jesus Christ. All glory and honor belong to you. Amen.

factory water injection only 33 1/3 had this rare option stopped detonation at high load and rpm - in excess of 7 grand - especially when engine temps climbed or was it the factory nitrous set up ... ? ...

This is what I use for acorns.

My honey/Trina/BBT and her mom have been building us a roughly 6 x 8 foot wood shed. The only help I've given was standing up the roof assembly and securing it. ALL spare parts from past projects except the siding they started putting on today. Note the spaces between the boards. They're about 2" gapped for air flow. The bottom of each board has a nail driven in part way to hold them out 1/2" or so. The water will run from the bottom of each board to the face of the next.

Actually a good idea Mikey ...thanks Congrats Monkey....I think or I hope.... say breaking news here .... doctors now know what causes that condition!

Rick, I can't say anything about a tall chute but my short chute had no problems last winter. Didn't seem to clog to me .

Found this going through my dad’s leftover parts. I have no clue as to what it went to. Can’t remember any of his tractors without one. Anyone know what it fits?

Finally made a test ride over the weekend, everything went good for the most part, few tweaks need to be made...

Luckily for me that's nearly impossible to do.

I’m not so sure we’ve met, so.. Hi, I’m Pullstart/Kevin! back to !! I have all kinds of fun with my wife and daughters on the tractors, my now 10 year old even bought herself her own 1076 in March! Most the stuff I work on gets customized from mild to wild and my kids have been shop helpers for pretty much their whole lives. I can’t wait to see your “clean up” work!

Prayers just sent for Scottie, your family and the medical team.

There is a sensor that detects a clogged air filter and turns on the indicator light on the dash. Unfortunately the sensor has a very weak nipple that very often gets broken off. I only have this hooked up and working on one of my machines. So long as you keep an eye on the air filter it really serves no purpose. Sensor is a square block by the left side of the battery.

Hey, Sparky! Great to be back, and reading through some of the posts I realize just how much I've missed this place! What's really amazing is to see what the membership numbers are up to! Hard to believe I was #49 way, way, way back in the day! Sure is a credit to you folks that started and keep this forum running. Thanks!

Probably skunks as they like grubs a lot.

Did that for a plastic edge and a replacement steel one. i use the old edge that has the square holes you need to anchor the carriage bolts. Easier than trying to make square holes.

I put the boosted 522xi to work today around the yard doing firewood and tugging logs. I cut and split about a quard of wood this am by hand. It feels like it's about 10 degrees out with the wind. This log has to weigh about 2k+ pounds. Now the xi scales in at 10 pounds shy of 1500 lbs. It tugged it like a champ though. Was worried about it rolling don't into the driveway on the left and into my trailer then further down rolling to the right which is about a 4' drop into the neighbors shed and taking the tractor with it.

Looks just like the one I had on myC141 with front mount deck that died on the far side of the pasture (only a very few hours on it less than 10).. Better luck with yours!!!

Finally started to put some red paint on the seat tray, looks good but a few more coats yet to get it as I want. I'm not doing a showroom job but I do want it to look pretty tidy. I am brush painting the tray but I think I may spray the bonnet before attaching it. Not sure as I dont have an indoor space I can spray in. A bit of dry weather would help out here lol. Busy day tomorrow with meetings for the community group. Mick

Here's more pics from today. Trina and her mom are working on it some more.

I have a shovel if it comes down to that but the roof goes on last I want all the support on the sides I can get while I'm putting the roof on. I'm not a little dude.

Prayers sent for Scott. Wishing you all the best.

The 6th digit is a 6 and not used except to determine the model year. 6-5=1=1971 You will find a 6th digit on attachments at the time also. 7=1972 8=1973 9=1974 Here is everything we have on the model 1-0420 https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?&q="1-0420"&type=downloads_file&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy Garry

Just a load of limbs.

Well I did get the engine cleaned up and replaced both crankshaft seal because they were leaking. No pics yet I need to get a new starter/generator belt first. I did get a few more pieces wet sanded, and even got out to see @wheelhorseman and pick up some adjustable tierods New wheel bearings And now shes back on her front feet again. hopefully I will get the trans done soon do i can put her back on all 4. My progress as of tonight:

Didn’t like slipping all over when the last snow fell last week so I got chains and installed them today. And fixed the chain the broke on the thrower.
