I was very impressed with my 1st time at the Big Show. So many tractors, parts and fun. But had no idea that my raffle tickets would win. 300 miles from home, good thing I always drive my pickup truck. Thank You for an awesome tractor. Now #36 in my Stables. Only had 1 Black Hood and it is a 1978 with the Fiberglass hood. 1st year of production.

Wild Bill did a great job moderating the parade .

Here’s a walkthrough video I took today.

The Saturday parade was not as big as yesterday's but Wild Bill's enthusiasm was! The 2021 raffle tractor ("C" Cab Truck) is under construction and will be a great prize to win. We even had a miniature model of the Pond Senior in the parade.

The tireless photographer here who just keeps on going... 20210625_180714.mp4 20210625_180714.mp4 skiing in the camping area! 20210625_180752.mp4 20210625_180752.mp4

Here are some of my favorite pictures from today.

No more 'BUBBLING OVER. Just insert a 12" long plastic drinking straw thru the funnel & into the gearbox to vent the air. Straw should be above the rim of the funnel. Use the Dipstick to hold straw in place. I changed 5 quarts of ATF in my Bronco 14 in about 5 minutes without making a mess. This will also work with 10-w30/40 motor oil or even thick 85-90w or 140w gear lube.

We have tons of parade pics and random show pics! I’m going to try to put together a YouTube video of them all when we stop for the night or return home. I can say, if Italian Village ever kicks us out for good... this place about a mile away from there is AMAZING! Great food, great service! Rylee was a bit tired apparently!

Some Friday pics: Early Morning Fill it up and check the oil my good man! Wallfish Towing Service! Cruise

Stop by and look at this beauty if you are at the show. Dan @Achto is a very talented builder. So many little details that went into this build that make it a work of art. It not only does it look great, it runs even better. Thanks for taking the time to tell me all about your awesome tractor.

Ava and the ride away senior model tractor which is just one of the amazing models that she and Eston and their company make! Bill was funny asking if it shrunk in the wash!

@Achto , @WHX24 and Cindy - Thank you very much for your hospitality and for sharing a spectacular home cooked dinner of rich and spicy mac and cheese and the most tender and delicious smoked pork -ever! THANK YOU!

Here is the 2022 Raffle tractor under construction. Now for the rest of the parade.

Picked these up today. Deck for either the 857 or the 1075. It's missing a blade and the rear wheel. It's been patched. The bottom plow I have no information or knowledge of them. Any input I would like to hear. I got them cheap enough.

And as we say goodbye to old friends and the new friends we made at this show - we thank you all-and Wild Bill for another set of awesome tractor parades- they are so much fun and informative for us all! Also thanks to him for donating his trademarked and autographed shirt for the raffle! Check out his cool pinstriping on his truck! Take care, Have a Happy Fourth of July and hope to see you all next year!

to the Bones. The 208-3 is a vertical engine three speed lawn mower. It is not a garden tractor and should only be used for mowing. Should you buy a non running lawn mower? If the price is very cheap and you have the capabilities and desire to make the necessary repairs and are willing to gamble the purchase price. The vertical engine Wheel Horse mowers do not normally have a very good resale value. Good Luck.

@Maynard What a pleasant surprise to see you today! So glad you are well and made it to the Big Show! Do you know of plans for a group picture tomorrow? Thank you!

So nice to see a happy couple on a tractor with a seat made for two! ❤️

More pics of people having fun on their wheel horse tractors before my second battery dies! Enjoy!

Stevebo, Amcrules, Brian- and Taylor representing for the ladies - on Seniors! So pretty! IMG_8387.MOV

Home sweet home, in Freedom, OH for the night!

I wish I had been out and about more for more pics! But i did manage to catch @Achto and the excellent finishes on his ornaments, and saw @BHunter and his sparkling hood and his ornament. Had a GREAT time visting with everyone who stopped by. Got some nice new wide rears for Dug(gonna need some spacers and a seat pan lift!) And of course @pullstart and family were a joy! And special thanks to @roadapples for taking blame for the micro TLB project! Mrs had a great time visiting and roaming and is ready to go get herself an RJ!

Congrats. on the win. You may want to flip the side extensions on the thrower before the snow flys. The leading edge should be parrallel to the side of the housing to make a clean cut into the snow.

More pictures as people started packing up but were still having fun with wheel horse tractors at the Big Show!

These two young men were in today’s tractor parade sharing what they knew about their Tractors and having fun with Wild Bill!

Kevin was in both yesterday’s and today’s tractor parade! He came to the Big Show with his brother, Shawn, Aunt Jeryl and Uncle Dave - and a great collection of wheel horse tractors!

Jay is back with his satellite dish seat tractor.!

Brian is an amazing machinist who makes a lot of stainless parts!

Andrew and his Q1955 rj 35. With brakes!

Set up day. Decent crowd.Things still kinda weird. Some restaurants you can eat-in some you can't. Not a terrible amount of wheeling and dealing but a nice selection of parts and vendors. Snapped a couple of pictures. My new Packers chair! Thanks WHX24! Trailer Tractor . Missing you!

Had a friend move to a new place on a couple acres, the back ditch needed some major attention so we put the 312 on it! Took 3 passes as it was worked down but came out good. He's now wanting a horse of his own...

Surprizes the whole week. Heavy rain and hail hit on TU our shop at about 16:00, fortunately only slight damages. Yesterday at 13:00 we sit with a coffee at the Balcony and decide what to do at afternoon, we see a calves herd they running straight to the Road. I see no Fella arround and decide to catch them to prevent a disaster. They seem to be lucky to see a Person, and et directing them extremely easily to the Shed. I give mart‘l a call, if he missed few maybe. He started immediately a roundcall to find out who‘s the Owner. As a Thanks, the Calves help me at Mowing and enjoy the Grass. Mart‘l jokes me if the owner wouldn‘t be found within a Day, the Calves would be mine. He meant hey ya have now a huge Areal, you just must take care of them and pray the owner will be found. He uses his honest facial to joke me - and yes he had Success. The Calves can be easily directed in a Save Area, we use 2 wires to keep them in until their Owner was found. 10 Trailer‘s later all 22 Calves be back their home save. Another Country Story what just can happen outside any City. They be running 80Km far from their Home just to visit me. I like them and i decide i will may be visit them once with the Wheelhorse.

OK, now which one of you guys TP'd Grey's seat?

So I applied these today. Big Block, Short Frame, Special Edition, Tall Stack, Baby Moons, Side Flames Wheel Horse 1075.

Good seeing you Kevin. Had a good time. Be safe out there on the road.

I missed a plenty of familiar faces, but so many first timers stopped by as well! A handful of people took me up on the offer to drive the lever steer and senior, many were afraid they’d break them. They didn’t make it 60-70 years by being weak! Hope to see you next year as well Jim!

Heck! I don’t even need to take any pics myself! Just add these to my phone! Great job Mrs. Rules and thanks

Can’t blame the guy, I want more than just one of my own! @Snoopy11 that’s a very nice looking machine you’ve got there. I love the shine.

Ethan is sharing his 1961 701 today! No parking brake!

Riley’s back with this commando her dad got in 2018!

Luke and Ben are here at the Big Show with their mom and dad having fun at the tractor parade showing 2 tractors

Brian showed us how his D 200 worked great!

That would be a fun project, building a loader - just need to get my welding skills up a notch! Never actually thought about searching for wheelhorses on the auction sites, I tend to just be looking at farming machinery. Another project (add it to the ten mile long list) is to buy an old Self propelled sprayer, cut everything off the back, chuck a Hiab on it and use it as a fencing/maintenance vehicle around the farm - I just missed one on Ebay and have been intrigued ever since...see pics.

A little test fitting so I can set up the hitch rack. Not the tractor it will go on, but I needed a functioning machine for proper fitment.

Thanks for all the Picts Mrs.Rules, You do an Outstanding Job, thanks for again. It is definitely not a 100% the same as to stay there, but it heal the wounds a little.

Made a bumper for the L-157... Don

Oh yeah, Showtime!(on a seperate note, "Showtime!!!!" Was the motto of one of my military platoons.) Light setup Thurs for a few hours, going full setup with printer today. Kevin got me all lined out and edjumacated on the FEL and got it all installed on Dug! VERY pleased with it, and even the patina matches really well with Dug.thans @pullstart!!!!!
