Attended the Evansville Indiana Southern Indiana Antique Machinery Club Show this past weekend. This poor 702 was on a trailer for sale the whole weekend. I decided to pull the trigger and use it for my next YouTube series. Hope I can bring it back to life and not get parted out. Haven't really looked at it much as I'm waiting to reveal most of the tractor on the first video. My buddy Zach helped drag it back to the trailer YouTube Short Teaser Video

It can be done ! My 701 before and after.

National Apple Strudel Day on June 17 has given us an excuse to indulge ourselves with the sweet treat. Apple strudel is a Viennese dessert made from thinly rolled out dough sheets, apples, sugar, and an assortment of spices. The world-famous dish is enjoyed as both a breakfast item as well as a dessert at night. It is also paired with coffee and tea for evening snack time. It can be accompanied by a generous dollop of whipping cream or a dusting of icing sugar/cinnamon. While ‘Apfelstrudel,’ as it is called in Austrian, is a sweet dish, it can also be savory when the apple is replaced with spinach, cabbage, or other vegetables and herbs. The word ‘strudel’ comes from German, and it means whirlpool or an eddy.

Post up all your loaded up and ready to roll photos here! I will start off. I am hauling the new toy hauler and my son will be following with the open trailer. See you all at the show. Safe travels!

Mike - I for one find it way easier to move trailers with a front mounted hitch. I use it on the C81; made it out of an old mule drive idler and a HFT ATV hitch that cost 11 bucks... Problem solved (unless he has a Round Hood without the Tach-a-matic)

With the BIG SHOW coming up and family coming into town Sunday for my wife's birthday I took a swing at the "Honey-do-list." The list was too long to accomplish in a couple of days so I asked my wife to prioritize the tasks she hoped to have done. I managed to complete tasks 1, 3, 5, and 7 today. She asked why I hadn't done jobs 2, 4, and 6 I told her I only do ODD JOBS! Looking forward to seeing everybody at the show.

Here is the new to me 1975 Simplicity 7016 I did some trading with my neighbor. It was his Dad's who passed away last year who was our neighbor as well, that we were pretty close to for the amount of time we lived here. So it has some sentimental value as well. Especially for his son who lives there now, knowing it's being taken care and close by. It has the tiller, a front blade, and a deck which probably to far gone to save. Also some wheel weights I did wash it before the photos. The sticker is not right I did check the model number on the tractor and it is a 7016. I did check the bevel gearbox and it doesn't have to much slop it's still within acceptable range. After checking this tractor out I can really appreciate the simplicity of the Wheelhorse tractors (pun not intended haha) That said I do love the look of the tractor with this particular hood and the light pods on the side.

I was just wondering how many other Work Horses will be coming to the show. I’m really hoping that we can make a good showing. Being the very proud original owner of my GT-1800 I am happy that the Work Horse has been chosen for this year. I think I heard something about the guy on the left being there as well 😂 I’m looking forward to seeing everyone!

I’m bringing my 1984 Work Horse GT-1600.

Mrs 8n and I had skin cancer screenings with the dermatologist today. Both came out with a clean report. I'll repeat in about a year, Mrs 8n in 2 years. Remember, don't be shy. A bit of exhibitionism sure beats a fight with skin cancer.

I've made a couple of trips to Germany. There, i discovered kanderi (SP?) - shops that serve coffee and pasteries. Wonderful places to obtain fresh apple strudel and coffee. There was one near the Munich cathedral. Was a rainy day and we were waiting for the rest of our group to gather. I remember standing next to the cathedral wall and discovering that one of the gargoyles was drooling on me.

No all hitches must be removed for a tiller. Except of course the axle bracket. Not terrible unless the trailer has a very heavy tongue weight.

You've found the friendliest GT forum around. Lot's of help and some kidding go on around here. Wow, I grew up in La Grange (45 miles away) and never heard of a WH back in those years. Those were the C1x1 and the C Black Hood years. I have a “few” projects, mostly gear drive stored in a barn down there. I'd offer to show them to you. But with the semi scarcity of Wheel Horses around here, I couldn't let you leave alive once you saw where my barn is Anything in particular your looking for. Any chance you have a pile of NOS parts from your dealer years? Did you have a dealer decal you put on the tractors you sold? Any chance you have a picture of it?

Tonight, I opened up the remaining throttle slot for the C-141 and test installed both choke and throttle. I may need to drill out the throttle lever pivot to flip it as it’s backwards from normal now.

Always figured that a flail mower on the front of the tractor would be more useful than a sickle mower. Specially if you have tall grass with unknown's hiding with in it. I have seen some on the front of garden tractors but have never really seen any for sale. The right sized one should be easily adaptable to a . One example of one. They seem to give a good looking rough cut.

Heck yea guy . Beautiful setup Steve ! Hitting the road tomorrow am see you there. .

Strapping the totes down, and we’ll be on the road at 3:30!

More done today. Painted the seat bracket today. Also got in the skateboard tape and seat in today. And the best part is! The holes line up perfectly in the universal seat with the wheelhorse seat springs!

Today's forecast from Tom Russell and CBS-21: Flood warnings tonight into tomorrow morning, heavy storms possible through lunch, clearing around mid-day. 90 and humid for Thursday, cooler, breezy, high around 80 for Friday.

Then you can haul more C series tractors..,

Those just tubes on the front wheels?

IM SO GLAD YOU GOT THIS TRACTOR.....MUCH BETTER THAN SITTING UNDER A PINE TREE FOR 15 YEARS !!!!

I hardly notice the difference in the steering effort. But - I usually just pull the trailer out in a straight line, cut the grass in that area with the 854 and push the trailer straight back. There are times I have moved it onto the driveway - steers well. And - I am terrible backing up a trailer with a short wheelbase tractor using the rear hitch!!

There is an interference with the hitches and the tiller. No go.

Being a hydro drive you would think the implement lift would have been hydro also.

I've seen many homemade trailers and carts. As long as it's not promoting another brand. Not sure these are all Wheel Horse.

I don’t make the rules, but I would think as long as the trailer is attached to a WH it’s fine.

I've always wanted a flail mower attachment. Mounted front or towed would be fine. A sickle bar cuts very well, but leaves the full height of the material cut left behind. This is good for tedding and bailing hay, but not for clearing brush. A flail mower pulverizes whatever is cut, and is less likely to be damaged by obstacles. It is a true clear cut machine.

This is our weekend!! If there isnt a Briggs between the fenders of your Work Horse it doesnt count! See you guys Thursday!! Tony 20250616_100853.mp4

Not too much done today but finished up 1 thing I forgot to add to the list. Put the mid attach o matic back together with the hardware and springs I got from Brian at K&B horses parts. More parts hopefully coming in tommorow and definitely back at it Wednesday.

Mine doesn’t count either. Kohler KT17.

I'm glad you're OK and we were kind of worried about you. So glad you're gonna be going to the show and looking forward to seeing you again as always

Cas, there is no need to apologize for anything, we are just very happy to know that your life is headed in the right direction. Many of us have been holding you and your wife in our prayers.

Wheel Horse seat for Megan’s 310. I ordered the Vevor seat and when it comes in will swap it out along with a 400 series adjuster.

This has been offered as a trade to a Blazer I have on Marketplace. Any thoughts on value, attachments, etc? It would be fun to add to the Pond family, even if it’s on the other side of the family feud

hi JoeM, love looking at the fab/build stuff. keep it coming! i think it is safe to say that we all can appreciate the incredible amount of time and talent that it takes to produce something as unique, functional and beautiful as artie. regards mike

We ran into them on our Ky. property last week when we were working there. Mix of brown and lonestar ticks. On the 2nd day, I started wearing a hat. It seemed to help. We were using Deepwoods Off and Off tick spray - seemed to slow them down. We showered when we got back to our hotel room after working in the woods - we usually found 2 or 3 ticks then.

Maybe that guy with the giant gas-powered fan will be there again.

Well played!

Dang, tempting

I’m gonna need a bigger truck …

Had a shed moved…

All these wheel horse tractors all shined up. I wish I could go this year but most likely it will be next year for me. Maybe I’ll have mine shined up by then. New tread and painted wheels go on this weekend. Getting front tires mounted tonight and then I will finish painting them. steve

I’ll have this fairly nice 1642 at the show. I’d like to have $750.00 for it. Runs and drives good. New carburetor and fuel pump. Make a reasonable offer. Least I can say is no. Could be open for round hood trades as well

That's normal. Last year was HOT!
