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.

Anyone have tick issues? I went out and moved a couple of splitters (with the WH) I'm working on, then went back in the house. Sat down on the couch and had an itch on my shoulder. Went to scratch it and it was a tick. I think the wet spring brings them out. Permethrin seems to be the best answer. As soon as the rain stops, I'll spray. I'm sure I'm not alone here.

Not looking too bad really. Plenty of shade trees around if it gets too hot .

Here too. Pretty much at least twice a week me or my dad has one on us. Try to keep the grass low. But in the back field where we pretty much only cut it once a month with the 8n and brush cutter there crazy out there! Like @ebinmaine said Permethrin is the best.

D series scavenger hunt at the show: Gas cap Lift cylinder D160 and 200 wiring harness (wish list and will probably be making them) Seat(s) hydro lines for rear 3-point lift maybe a few more things as I did dig around... Let me know if you have some that you will be bringing....

I will be bringing one ! Not sure I want to sell but you might talk me into it! It’s a nice one . Has lights, horn and Firestone sawtooth tires in back. I will send you more pics after my wife goes to yoga and I can move it out!

@ri702bill like your set up ! often refer to ball hitches , have them on every hook up , makes things very simple , for a back up , push down to ball , your done . also leave anything set up with a height holding rod , for quick swap .REPEDITIVE USAGE , SHOWS YOU THE WAY , also do that on problem areas , make a change and eliminate it , only me , pete

As long as it ain't green with a running critter picture on it you will be OK.

Another late entry - is anyone looking for a real nice 36” rear tiller? Tines are probably 85% or more. I’ve not seen one with tines this big. Complete bolt in for C series or similar, from the mid mount tensioner, belt, axle hitch, loft assist spring, and such. 2 of 3 idlers are cast iron and good shape. I will not haul it without interest first. $425 SOLD!

If it is NOT pumping fuel, disconnect the fuel line at the bottom of the tank to see if you have fuel. The screen on the petcock inside the tank may be blocked.

Cold drinks and shade.

Looking like a cold snack Friday!

I talked to the weather gods and that forecast is wrong. Sunny and low 80’s is the correct forecast!!
