It was the day before Thanksgiving, November 25, 2009. I was researching Wheel Horse tractor parts as I had gotten the bug to restore my 1977 B-100 8-Speed. I discovered RedSquare. I joined. I am thankful. Happy Thanksgiving to all my many Wheel Horse friends and family.

I would like to take a minute to thank all of our Servicemen for keeping us safe so that we may enjoy this Holiday in peace, to all the members and families and especially MR @roadapples to keep him in your prayers and that we may all enjoy this Special Holiday.

I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and to thank you for all of the years of companionship and instruction. A special thank you to John @wallfish for his generosity and vision which makes me smile every day. Also a special thank you to @Ed Kennell for listening.Life has not been easy around here but it seems to be getting better.

Sporting the bling at this mornings Detroit Thanksgiving Day parade! In front of the Detroit Institute of Art (“DIA” to all us locals)... Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am also thankful that I found this site! Excellent people around here.

This makes life much easier. No concerns about breaking the cast iron.

So thankful that I found this site and the awesome friends that I have had the privilege to make as a result. You have invited me into your lives and I so appreciate those who reach out to me often to share something from your lives or to ask about mine... Achto! Dave Tallon and gang Papa Jim and the Dino on a Stick Caleb getting to drive Achto’s puller Steve and my lovely wife always enjoy conversation at PD Shynon and Prondzy (love these Minnesotan Plow Dogs) Me and Zeek! Two legends from the forum on their respective awesome GT-14’s and I count it a privilege to call them my friends (Aldon and Richie) Jeff (the Hillbilly) and Caleb Mike and Caleb Dells and the incomparable Emory (this kid is a trooper and one cool dude!!!) Of course—Mr and Mrs Rules Can’t forget my buddy Pullstart (the guy who welcomed me to the forum) and his lovely wife The Boys and their roundhoods! Ryan and his tribe. these are just a few pics that I have on my phone of some of those that I’ve met and made friendships with since September 2014. There are many, many more that I haven’t met yet in person but I feel like I’ve known you for a lifetime. Thanks for your friendship, help, advice, and concern. God bless you all!!!

From 1789, George Washington..... I found this to be most excellent: “Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor…. For the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed…” “And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions … to render our national government a blessing to all the People, by constantly being a government of wise, just and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed … and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord, to promote the knowledge and practice of the true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and Us, and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.”

This IS an excellent, friendly site! I’ve been here for just over a year...... it quickly became my favorite site! Thank you for all of the good times, and I hope to meet any of you face-to-face some day!

I am thankful to have found this site. Lots of helpful people here and and made lots of new friends as well ! Been around for a year and a half and a great collection since then .

Right on Bob. Here is one of my favorite memories made possible from this site. Happy Thanksgiving to All.

Should have just kept the goat. They make great pets. And lawn mowers And weed eaters Debris picker upper

So, to add a little interest to my Thanksgiving day, we had some unexpected visitors show up at the door. Three very friendly goats showed up and made a nuisance of themselves. A call to Animal Control and the sheriff showed up. We found where they had escaped from and we herded them back home.

I joined up about the same time as you did, Bob and I’m thankful too. Glad we got to meet a few years ago.

I'd like to take a moment to wish everyone here and their families a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.God bless America.

Agreed Trina and I have met some wonderful people because of a few little red tractors. Thank you to everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you as well. My wife is a nurse and doesn’t get today off...so we do our Thanksgiving meal on Wednesday when she is off. It actually works out, we get both our kids (21 and 24) and they are free to go to boyfriend/girlfriends houses on actual Thanksgiving Day. Me? I’m alone with a couple cats today and not complaining at all!!

And my azaleas eaters. No thanks.

Well guys I have a story to tell you today and then I need help tracking down a few parts. I have a 72 Bronco 14, I got it when I was 16, I'm 22 now, and fixed it up after it had sat a long time and then started tracking down implements.by the time I was 18 I managed to find a plow,deck and blower for this machine. As I started college I realized how much college cost so I sold the tractor much to my regret and missed it much. Fast forward 4 years I'm nearly finished with college now and newly married and I get a call from the gentleman I sold it to,asked if I want to buy it back.Absolutely I say but later found it was a bit worse for wear from disuse.After he bought it he used it 1 time parked it and didnt touch it again. In that time he also lost parts for it on top how rough he sold it back to me for. It is running again now but I'm needing to track down some parts with your guys help. Parts on tractor itself I need are hydraulic hoses, a fuel pump and a rectifier. The parts he lost for it though are for my attachments. Upon return I found the blade control rod is missing for the plow and the lift bar for the snow blower is missing as well. Thanks in advance for any help and thanks for reading my story.

I have a '71 Bronco i just purchased; am new to all of this...you will find much help, here😊 Here is a link to help; they have those hoses you need; maybe much of the other parts too. Also, AZTractors iscaplace you may wish to check for implements; ive bought from them as well. GoodLuck and Welcome to one of the best forums and group of people on the 'net! https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/hydraulics.html

to See the WIKI Discussion for WIKI 953 on the home page it will provide you with the history of the 953's. They are really great tractors and as the others have said some of the small items that are incorrect are not a big deal and can be corrected. One thing to note is that that tractor has a hydraulic lift that makes the use of attachments a dream. The handle on the right side controls the up and down of the lift. When you go and look at it check the handle its spring loaded, when moved front to back and you let go of it the handle should return back to the center position. If it stays in place the spring is broken, the lift may still work. The rear tires are original and look to have good, they are hard to find!! If the front tires are Goodyear then they are original too. Even harder to find.

If you read the side of an ag tire "backwards" is for turf use, "forward " is for dirt fyi

Some of us get our Dozing in after the turkey, I got mine in BEFORE the turkey! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I usually go around with my echo handheld blower (which I’ve had since 1985! And has just short of a billion hours on it) and clean around the house and the trees. Then I ride around and suck them up with my 416-H with 60” deck and Peco vacuum. Recently added a buddy seat so I can bring my little girl with me! She rides around with me and seems to love it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

A happy thanksgiving to all of you and your families, from my family. Enjoy this special day. As the years pass it becomes more important to me. God bless you all. Glenn

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. We should all be thankful for the wonderful forum we have here and the good people who keep it running smoothly. Hope you all have a great day with friends and family. And thank GOD for the Country we live in.

I am looking at this cart just curious if it is actually a W/Horse cart? I know the tires are not original. Should it have a I.D. tag on it. Owner has had it for about 20 years any info would be help full. Can send better picks later. HAPPY THANKSGIVNG TO ALL.

After some thought, I developed a procedure for removing the steering wheel that is well controlled and easy on the steering wheel. Follow along: Step 1. Purchase a steering wheel puller from Amazon... cost about $15, and a pair of 5/16" x 2-1/2" lag bolts with washers from HD or Lowe's Step 2. Drive out the roll pin at the base of the wheel through the shaft with a 3/16" punch (this is the hardest thing to do). Step 3. Remove the snap-in cover on the top of the wheel. (Probably gone anyway ) Step 4. Using a 1" hole saw, drill into the top center of the wheel and remove the "plug" of material that covers the end of the steel shaft. When you're done, it will look like this (after spraying your favorite penetrating oil into the "well" as shown in the photo.) Let sit for a few days, rotating the steering wheel occasionally so the oil soaks into the entire circumference of the shaft. More oil as needed. Step 5. Drill two holes into the steering wheel hub, correctly sized for the 5/16" lag bolts to bite into the plastic. After some experimentation on another wheel, I found these two locations (1:00 O'clock and 7:00 O'clock) are the best to prevent drilling into the radial ribs (which are NOT at the same location on the bottom side of the hub) Step 6. Install the gold puller hub onto the wheel with the lag bolts Step 7. Thread in the puller's center rod and turn with wrench, as-intended. My wheel removed with some minor complaining (from the wheel, not me) Step 8. Clean up the center hub I.D. rust with a fine Dremel sanding drum; use sandpaper on the steering shaft. Step 9. Step back and savor your victory over rusty oxidation.

Little update.. First of all, thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. 5 days of continuous chemo, 2 to go. Still feel fine except for starting to lose my appetite. They tell me you bottom out a few days after chemo is done. Talk to you all later Jay

We are very glad you found RedSquare too. You have helped so many of us through the years, we are thankful that you joined and decided to stay.

That's something we should take to heart coming from a founding father. He is definitely one that knew why and how, and what for, this great nation was established. GOD bless the USA!

No, they related to weasels, same Family. I Found yesterday a K30 Chevy Pickup 6Cyl. Gasoline Engine short Bed shift Gear and called the Guy to reserve it, the price shall be about 3000, and it looks interesting on the Pics, nice Patina I come in a hurry and we started immediately, but 90 Km depends it‘s time and if we arrived 1/2 hour later, he told me it was already sold about 5 min. Ago.🤪 I looked at a local marketplatform via ipad, because i need a Car to go to Work however, and one of the first offers was an exact similar car at 18:00 local time - just in different Color in complete opposite direction. Same Car i had, with just 183.000 Km on Tacho except the „Luxory“ of Central Locking.👍 So Kati fired „the Big“ and we „fly in a hurry“ for a quick checkup.😎 that was my quickest checkup i did at any Car purchase, because the seller want’s to close his shop, I buy it as a extremly cheap „Winter Car“ with a rest of 3 months TÜV, than we see what happens with it, if it‘s worth to be repaired to get another 2 Years or not. If so, i will upgrade with Parts of the Old White one, i had allready prepared for TÜV, if not i keep my Parts for the next. Tomorrow i go to registration Office and get Licence Plates and in the later evening i grab the Car, and bring it home ( hopefully) I hope no troubles will occur, and it runs as expected, but I payed just a Few bucks, so i‘m ok with the situation. That was my cheapest buy in my complete Car history....😎 i dealed it for just 370 bucks, but i just need a Car immediately to bridge the Winter season and the Seller wants to close his Shop. Engine fired right up and it runs smooth like mine ( no rattle noise, what is normal known at most of that small Engines) Oil is dark but doesn’t look too bad, ( finger Test passed) Coolant was Clean and it runs smooth even at a 15 minit run. I have allready a brandnew Waterpump in spare if needed, buyed it for the White, because it dribbs a bit. The Gearbox switched smooth, and the Clutch seems good so far, the only found issue in a 30 min, checkup was a non working Handbrake, i can Deal with. guess just not correctly adjusted, or Bricks close to finish, also a known issue. No big check about Rust, because i buyed it as Wintercar for 3 Months. Let‘s see if i did right or not..😎

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and don’t forget your Tupperware when you visit the in-laws!

Got your message. Will ship one out tomorrow.

For those who want to build their own. Notice the fine thread bolt. Increases the pulling power. Also makes it easier to turn the bolt.

I’m happy that you remembered that Eric! Here it is at the big show, not the best backdrop but here it is!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you... You make this a unique and remarkable place...

Got some new benches. All 1/4 inch steel. Weigh about 400 pounds each. I got these awhile ago but haven't had a chance to upload pics until now. Bill

I have the 50” mid-mount on a work horse GT-1800 and yes it works great for scraping up packed snow. Also works well for grading my dirt road, spreading topside etc. It’s one of my favorite attachments. I also like my two stage bower, and the dozer blade, and loader, and Sweepster broom, and the....., wait? Now I cannot decide!!! 😂

Happy Thanksgiving!

I don’t know any “politicians” today that could even put together sentences and thoughts like that, much less acknowledge Who our blessings come from.....

I happened to see a Fram oil filter on that hydro unit, you may want to change that to a better suited filter for that transmission. NAPA 1410

That is 2" tail tipe tubing with nothing in it. The runners up are electrical tubing . The muzzel brake is a 2 1/2" washer with a 1" hole and two 2" washers with a 3/4" hole space apart with drilled out 1/4" nuts. It stopped the high pearsing sound. It's not quite or too loud. It's on a 18HP Briggs Vanguard. I forgot the pictures, got busy with something else.

Excellent to read this day.

Scraped with a sharp knife then I used a flap disc on a angle grinder to clean up the inside of the band.

couldn't have said it any better

MTD as a company has no fault here. They're a contract builder that manufacturers exactly what the buyer asks. Brand name doesn't seem to make any difference nor the original price of the tractor or other machine. Some folks just don't maintain things the way they should. The owners of the machines are who's to blame.
