These are pretty short

Well folks .. The Calendar Production Professional AKA BBT AKA Trina will be making the Redsquare Calendar again this fall. The theme she's going for is.. Pairs. Two. Double trouble. Trina will be looking for: Original or close to original appearance. Restored or patina or Still in the Work Clothes. Post your pics of TWO TRACTORS. All seasons. All environment. NO humans in the pics please. Animals are ok. 🙂 Recommended "Special Days" may be requested and will be approved by The Moderators before addition. She will be accepting the pics until Saturday November 11th ONLY. The calendar will be released shortly after. Thanks!!

Definitely not in pristine condition but it seems run smooth and the deck is quite as well. My first magnum. Cleanup and check over upcoming. Hoping to use it to replace an IH Cadet 81 for mowing between the yard and the field. The hood is a little banged up and missing one of the bezels that surround the headlight. Deck is in need of talc but is solid with nothing more than surface rust.

Just wanted to let you all know I'm still around . Been pretty far away from the tractor game for a while but wanted to bring you all up to speed : Picked up a new wheeler ( my 1st brand new one ) last season . Outlander 850 . took it home and started ripping it apart . Kenda Bearclaw HTR's Elkas Tune HMF Q series pipe A few other mods And i found this 1977 Everest E in a storage trailer and figured it would make a nice project .

Loaded up my trash... went to my Sportsman's Club and did my chores... Proceeded to town transfer station and this is sitting on iron pile. Yipppeeeeeee!!!! Life is Good! Tony

Here's a few you could try on Colossus!

Got the tranny back together this morning and a few parts cleaned up. I gave the seat a couple coats of satin finish clear instead of an oil treatment, hoping to keep the seat of my pants clean. The rest of the tractor will be an oil finish.

Happy W-H halloween!

Are you talking about a low back like this one which is the original off a 76 B-80: Or you can get these (slightly) padded covers for either a square or round pan.

Like sitting on an HD Road King at a long traffic light in July with temps in the 90's on a sunny day. @953 nut

I had a 78, bought in 88. Plowed with it too! I think I only had it for a few years and finally sold it because it got around a solid 8-10 miles per gallon!

this kid is STOKED to get Blackbeard ready for plow day at the J&C ranch! Cat 0 3pt is now installed…🙌🏻

This is going pretty far back, but here are some favorites of multiples if not pairs, and no people A single of Putt Putt jumped in there, I really like that one. Yeah, not many originals here…

Couple to choose from…

Here is a link to the 856 parts manual. Circle the parts you are looking for and attach it as a picture. https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/1843-tractor-1966-856-da-om-ipl-wiring-rev-snpdf/ If you can't do that, then just list the page, item number, and part number you are looking for.

Unfortunately many look only at the pros and ignore the cons. Some form of energy must be used to turn those electric producing generators, sun, wind, hydro, coal, oil, gas, nuke all have some cons. The 16 lbs. of lithium required to make a typical electric auto battery requires the mining of 300,000 lbs of earth.

How about the "AIR HORSE"? They have two padded No-Back seats.

Not quite, the Road King has a comfortable padded seat.

I certainly would not want a hot Onan between my legs. I wondered that myself and have nicknamed them the ball burners.

I always have a couple rigs set up for winter snow clearing. My tractor isn’t ready yet but the one I leave at the in-laws so I can clear snow at their place is now ready to ship out. 308-8 with inside and outside weights plus 4 link chains (prefer 2 link but it’s what I have on the shelf so…) The plow is a 42” so I don’t over stress the little Magnum 8 power plant .

No cracks so far my tires might be to big lol

Yeah, online sales delivered to your door is definitely the new thing now. It's just too easy and plenty of impulse buying too. Shuts down the small business guys as they can provide exceptional service but not at the discounted costs. You could've saved 2 hours of driving around and clogging up the streets to make room for ALL of those delivery trucks. LOL My daughter, SIL and grand kids order stuff all the time and some days there are 4-5 different deliveries. So much for carbon footprints, greenhouse gasses, pollution and climate change! All of which they complain about. There's always pros and cons to everything.

Okay since I’m on this fire truck kick I figured I’d add this, our 2000, 2500 series Chevy. Still in service and has 15,000 miles. Looks like this would fit in perfectly @Pullstart’s collection!

"This is not what I was expecting nor how quickly it to happen to me.", my 88 year old mother told me yesterday as we were walking the the hallway of the assisted living home we had just moved her into. Since August 16, mom has been in the ER or the clinic pretty much every 2nd or 3rd day. She has endured 4 UTI's (Urinary Tract Infection), a mild case of Covid and this week a she will have an MRI of her liver. She is on her 6th or 7th antibody. I didn't realize how much UTI's affect the elderly (no pain like we would expect but intense confusion and forgetfulness). I mention this because our older parents can suffer physical and mental issues so quickly and their quality of life can degrade right before our eyes. It behooves each of us to be vigilant of the people who loved us unwaveringly. Mom has been very active. Until a couple of month's ago, she lived alone and mowed and maintained her 1 1/2 acre yard. She still gardened and would jump in he pickup to head to the city to shop a will. Mom did most of the driving to the family farm three hours away when we went there earlier this summer. We are hoping that rehab and careful watch care in the assisted living home will restore mom's health and mental function so she can return to her home. She is looking forward to getting the keys back to her pickup (She and I agreed that the keys and medicine she was taking should be removed from her grasp while the UTI induced confusion challenged her judgement.) so she regain some of the freedom she is accustom to having. May I suggest: Keep a close eye on our elderly folks! By the way, for those of you who pray, her name is Erma.

I was just wondering, the older tractors with the engine right between your legs, doesn’t it get too hot to drive it?

Looks really nice so far. As Glenn mentioned, reinforcing the "F" plate with a piece of hot rolled steel & longer bolts is the way to go. I added bolt in braces to stop the flexing and welded in the plate - years ago. No issues.

So much for carbon footprints!!! Over here , one of the larger delivery/carrier companies send out emails informing you when your package is likely to arrive. They also give you the option of reducing the ‘Carbon Footprint’ by driving to their nearest depot and collecting it yourself?? How does this work if I make a special journey to collect a package deliberately left behind at the depot that would have otherwise been keeping company with 100’s of other items, in a vehicle that most likely would be in my district delivering anyway?

Good for you! I love the smaller HP machines, and a Magnum 10 is a great motor
