I didn’t even know this was available!! If I’m not in the garage, then I’ll be doing some light reading!! It comes with a DVD. The whole story of Cecil Pond! I got it for a Christmas present.

Hi from the uk here are some of my horses.

There’s actually three different editions, all from the same author. I’m fortunate enough to have all of them and even more fortunate to have them signed in person by Cecil Pond and Michael Martino. Huge added bonus is that two of them were on my birthday! What a great present ! Michael certainly did his homework on this, these books really are a wealth of information.

Got the subframe built up for the charger loader today. This little harbor freight welder seems to do great with 3/16 thick tubing. I am still learning how to weld. Never been taught and the only time i gain experience is when i need to build or fix things. I think im doing it right lol

I have about 2 1/2 feet so far . If you can get here with a trailer , i'll help load .

Have you seen the picture of my commando 8 pictured at Stone Henge in UK . I spent a week with Mike and his family in 2014 and whilst I was with him I help him box up all the black special final edition and had a signed copy no1 from Mike . Very special book to me

Free snow. FREE!! And help loading! The generosity of our members never ceases to amaze me.

I may not have done it at home, but we have all the powder coat needs at work.. I tried out the powder coat chrome on the steering shaft in the battery tie down in the brake and clutch rod too.

This was Thursday before the disappearing snow act, or at least 80% of it. And yes @Sparky the Brook is passable, way easier than snowshoes to get to the cabin. Good call.

thanks slowly building up the collection currently have 11 and 7 running

Pulled the head on a non-running K301 I picked up a couple years ago. Big reveal always wonder what the piston will be stamped. STD .010 OK .030 parts pile...Had to clean off some carbon for the big reveal .003 cylinder wall looks good. This one will get stripped down and off to the machine shop for bore and grind...

Loader swap done. 522xi with power steering oopd forgot the front tires

Sidetracked Saturday again. Cause everyone needs a little coal forge to mess with

Girlfriend is catching on! Got me this sweatshirt for christmas. Hope every one had a good holiday and enjoy the long weekend👍

Been working on Trina's Pigpen 867 a little the last month or so. The starter/generator has needed a bearing replaced for a looong time so I got that done. Replaced both bearings and cleaned it up some inside. Brushes were fine. Changed the engine oil. Last night I started adding a light circuit to it. Had headlights originally. I've ordered replacement sockets for the stock headlamp setup. I'll be adding some 3/4" white LEDs at the back and a small set off 2" round black LEDs at the front on magnetic bases that'll point out at forward left and right angles.

Stick a business card between the pad and the pulley and apply the pto. Hold pad tight to the card and tighten the bolts that mount the pad. Release the pto and remove the business card.

Looking for at least 1 more fore 1/1/21 dark time... the trails I made dragging a bed spring really pop with a white dusting.

I just bought a Wheel Horse 416-8. The body parts need sanding and paint but engine and trans seem to be in good shape. I found a tag under the seat listing the model as 73420 and the serial number srarting with 59001. I am soaking the dirt off to get the rest of the numbers. One of my questions is what color red do people use to repaint their WH? I am sure that I will have a lot more questions as time goes on. Thanks Pete

A few photos of my 416-8.

Very nice! But SOMEBODY should have wiped their feet!

Today was ‘build a tractor’ day. Progress pics!

It took me the afternoon on the day I received mine great story to be told! Congrats, I started over here and there a week or so ago..

Ours melted away, hopefully that was enough for the season, I am ready for 80 and sun

It's been like 8 months since I was last on here... So I'm building a 1/16 scale RC semi truck. It's going to be almost 6 inches wide not counting the mirrors and almost 7 inches wide including them, almost 20 inches long, and 7 inches tall. The frame will be made of 4 pieces of 1/4" aluminum square tubing, 2 stacked on each side to get each frame to be 1/4" wide and 1/2" tall. For drive, it's going to have 2 crappy RC motors geared together, with a 2 speed gearbox with a crawler and a "road" gear, then it's going to go to a transfer case to give it 6 wheel drive. For tires, I'm going to try and find the 2.5" OD, .5" wide, and 1.5" rim tires and I can't I'm going to get a pair of wider solid tires and cut them in half to fit the rims. Most of it will be 3d printed, and even still it will weight a lot. I'm pretty excited.

Hello, I had never heard of Wheel Horse until October when I saw an RJ58 on eBay. I have a 3.5 year old that loves tractors, so on October 20th I purchased the tractor for Santa Clause to deliver. I was not able to pick it up until October 30th because I had to drive 3.5 hours one way to Fastenal in Enterprise, AL. I wasn't able to study the tractor until November 1st because I had damage from hurricane Zeta. What I found was a total piece of junk that the seller lied about, misrepresented, or failed to mention certain things wrong. I have attached pictures of before and after. It took 5 weeks to get the tractor in working order and presentable. I will continue to look for the correct parts and re-do the tractor when I have all of the parts.

Replace...Painting and body work are not my hobbies.... I only do things I enjoy

19 too cold Ed?!?!? Guess I can't call ya a sally tho my stand is heated ! May have to try that stew ...looks really good. The Cabelas #22 grinder had no problems with 20 lbs of meat yesterday. Took longer to clean it up than to grind. Cindy got this grinder for me for Christmas quite a few years ago and has all the stuffing tubes too. I think the motor is like a 1 HP! An expensive grinder at the time but worth it. I have never canned Jeff but made give it a shot should I get a doe. My dad used to can and always had a jar in deer camp. I don't think he churched it up at all, maybe salt and that's it. I should get out there today as these girls were in back of the shop last nite. Pic was taken out the kitchen window!

Great read! Even the second time...!

Super awesome gift!!

Spray can chrome always seems to look like you used spray can chrome...... I have a can of old dupli color chrome high heat engine that I picked up somewhere. I used it on some small parts didn't look to bad.

Keep it there

An pullbehind plow, atleast that's what we use it for, i guess its more for grading. And My Wheel Horse leaf sweeper. OEM fabric? Pics of more attachments coming!

I always have some carb cleaner on hand, and use this when needed.

Wow..Ijust finished posting the above when Mrs.K called me for dinner. This is what she served. One of my favorites ..deer stew and it is fork tender. Just substitute venison for the beef and follow McCoricks recipe on the back of the packet. Easy peasy.

Thanks, wallfish! I did buy a lift cable from them. I should probably post detailed pictures of the tractor and a list of things I know that are incorrect. Here are a few more until I can take better pictures.

@Oldskool FYI on gearbox in "original" packaging Ready for USPS @ 16.5lbs

IH red is used a lot when sprayi g with enamel and regal red with spray can. I would suggest getting it mechanically in tip top shape before worrying about paint! Be sure to post pics, we love pics!! Randy

To keep it away, do what I did 7yrs ago. Built a snow plough. Only had snow once and just a dusting.

Hard to defend! How? If it's a random isolated act then I suppose it has already ended. But if it's organized? And just the beginning... I'm glad I live pretty close to the middle of nowhere!

The foot we had in the Hartford area is now gone after the Christmas day rain storm and 60 degree weather. Of course this morning is 26 degrees.

Jim's Snow-envy gone! But I'm still willing to share. Let you plow our yahd.

I never use starting fluid, instead I have a spray bottle with gas and two stroke oil mixed. A little bit of that oil can’t hurt and this way I can shoot a little in my old chainsaw and not worry about it. If the tractor has been sitting for a while I usually pull the air filter cover off and give it a shot. This way I’m not killing the battery and the starter.

Merry Christmas Peace on Earth.

I never canned myself Jeff, but when I was a youngster my Dad always had deer meat canned (in an actual tin can) by Yoders butcher shop in Meyersdale,PA. It was precooked and just needed heated. It made the best hot deer sandwiches ever and the juice made great gravy. When I left home in 1962, I inherited around 12 cans. I opened one every New Years Day for the next 12 years. The last one was as good and fork tender as the first.
