My life is kinda...messy...at the moment. But spent the last few wks north, up by my folks, just to...regroup. Did a lil 'tractoring' too. Hadda be sure the 'new' (stole from my 160) front tires n rims, which my Dad helped me mount, workedout, ya know, on the 312-8 my Dad gave me in '17 that started this whole adventure. Come spring, shes getting full tuneup/cleanedup, & a rear discharge deck mounted, I hope. Thinking im going to do the rims up in gloss black, just to be different, lol. For now, nice for trail rides... And Annie seems to like leading it, on her runs, lol. I love this tractor.

Stumbled across this last evening thought I would share as I grew up on these old orange machines... @ACman @ebinmaine @Achto @PeacemakerJack @pullstart and any body else that likes all things tractor.... https://www.agriculture.com/machinery/tractors/the-tractor-that-put-horses-to-pasture

Getting better every day!

Well I bought another project.....a C121 8 speed. This one is a little rougher than my C161 but it ran great and has the electric lift option. I’m going to work on this over the winter and use it as a lesson for the C161 next summer. Think all in all it has good bones and should come out great with any luck.

Evening, all. Grabbed this dinosaur today. It's a Champion plug cleaner/tester. Has a little sand blaster in the top and various rubber plugs for different threads. It has a button hooked to a model T ford ignition coil, and a little mount with mirrors on top to see into the plug as it fires, along with what seems to be some sort of ammeter. So far nothing works at all, but I have hardly looked into it. There's a large rotating knob in the top that does .. something? Havent figured it out yet. The rest seems fairly obvious and its just stuck from sitting. Has anyone messed with one of these dinosaurs? I see tons of pictures online, but no videos of one working, nor any posts of someone talking about one..

I can never find one of these for my Horse. However, I built one for an Ariens by converting a 48" ATV setup. It is intended for light snows only, we'll see how it goes. I'd say it'd be a similar job converting one for a Horse. Frame cut down and modified moldboard ripped longways and test fitted painted and relocated new shorter trip springs

I picked this C-165 up today about 45 minutes east of me . The previous owner pulled the engine to use for his pulling tractor. I got it for 60 bucks but haven't decided what exactly to do with it yet, but have an idea or two. Just couldn't pass it up for that amount. I also picked up this 10 inch Brinly for 50 bucks along with a Cub Cadet sleeve hitch about two weeks ago. I usually see them around me for 125 on up. It needs to be cleaned up but its all there.

Thanks Pete, when I went to look at it I could see it had a future and as time goes by just looking at it parked I get idea's to do this and that. Having fun with it and not putting much $ into and very happy with the results, in fact it runs awesome compared to it's looks. Before and after pics so far.

Nice Horse.What's that white crap on the ground? Too early for that stuff.

BEHIND THE DASH... When I purchased this 1967 WH 1277 it had sat for several years. I cleaned out the mice nest behind gas tank and changed the ignition. After some other minor repairs I got it started. Now I wanted to drive it. Unfortunately, every time I disengaged brake to move forward it stalled. Throttle was rusted in place. So I’m replacing throttle, cig lighter, some type of red light and accessory switch. The red light rusted on for life I think,

@AMC RULES I hate your guts! You're setting the standard too high for the rest of us!

I was playing safe with two. Don't want Trina coming over and practicing her martial arts on me.

At the rate you go, you'll get two builds done, (or more), to Eric's one.

You never know, but I have been eyeballing a 4cyl Kohler from a 1955 lite plant generator.

Cool piece!

Cleaning up the old Power King.

Pressure washing this today to get ready for sanding

The Raider 10 needed a new positive battery cable today after the old one fell off. PO had a bad connection and burned most of the terminal away. I had it sandwiched with some oversized washers on the battery end. When it fell off after starting, I figured it was time to fix it right. Unfortunately, I needed to take the fuel tank off to get to the ignition. While waiting for the spilled gas to dry, I decided to do a little bit of cleaning and waxing. I think it was @AMC RULES that said they used Johnson's paste wax to make their old machines look good. I had a can around and got to work. Also grabbed my 303 aerospace protectant. Got the hood, fenders, seat, steering wheel, gas tank, engine tins, and air cleaner looking pretty decent. If I need to burn some more time I'll continue. Oh, and I unclogged the breather in my gas cap. I was thinking it might have been part of my problems getting this horse to run right, but it wasn't. Might try installing my other carb to see if it works better.

Nice save! Love the Black Hoods!

JCM, nice pick up on that , love the quick road check and heat up for a hot oil change , what a concept ! with that state of mind it won't take you long to go over it and give it a thorough , baseline maintenance. catching up on service is what its all about , good going on that , pete

Not trying to rush things, but before you know it.

I’ve always thought that an eight speed and electric lift would be an excellent rototilling tractor.

Oh snap, some1s havin a bad day.... prob the compact car owner.

electric lift will be nice!

It's still the weekend right??? Well shes all done and running now. Now to drill holes in stuff!

STEPNEY, BOY YHAT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES , back in the day at the garage there was always horsing around , hooked the same champion tester up to the front bench and waited for the next hit, usually a newbie , just jump up and sit on the bench , start talking and ZAP ! the response was always worth it , probably get arrested today

He's right folks. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Might as well pop a 4 inna 'horse.

Ok now THERE'S a crazy idea I like ALOT.

My 1974 Wheel Horse B-80 is my go to tractor for most any kind of work or project outside needing a tractor! I think this design was one of the best Wheel Horse made.

I woke up this morning cold outside went back to bed

So glad you're still here to tell that story.

Clocks go back an hour today in the UK. Guess who put his forward?

Years ago my neighbor and I converted a 64 Falcon 2 door hardtop 6 cylinder to v-eight with a 4 speed transmission.. I has Mustang engine, transmission and rear end. the 5 lug front end came from a Mercury Comet. We installed a Mustang gauges speedometer. A new Herst shifter and had to make the shifter rods and shifter mount. He still has it parked in his shop. A neighbor wreck a 67 Mustang is where the Mustang parts came from.

I guess so. Just never seen somthing like that. Definitely custom lol

Boys and girls I've next to no signal here in the mountains. We took a bunch of bunches of pics today. Well get em posted Sunday afternoon or Monday.

A Scotchbright & straight acetone finally cut through all the rubber gunk. Sealed the new paint with Eastwoods Diamond Clear coat. Certainly not perfect, but a night and day improvement over what I started with. Going to work until a better one is found.

Hi, my name is Brian, I'm new to Red Square not sure if I'm doing this in the right place. With that being said, I was wondering if there is a way to check a Wheel Horse for matching serial numbers, like the way it can be done with cars, I have a '77 C-160 that I got from my dads estate, I have owned it since the late '90's, not sure when or where he bought it. I think it has most if not all the original factory parts still on it and was wondering if there is a list from W.H. that would tell me if it is all factory original. just starting to get it back in shape and finding all these numbers, the plow, mower deck, transmission, tractor the motor all have serial numbers, just a curiosity on my part to know what I have.

I added a set of NOS cultivators to my 701 for a show this weekend.

And since I had an empty trailer, I picked up this beauty on the way home from my BIL... 1965 Honda 150 Dream!!! @ebinmaine - please note that it has a Black Hood on the air cleaner and gas tank...

Deal is done! WHrat WHrecker has a new home! @pullstart stables... All good!!!
