I have no idea where we're at Dan's driving. Mid OH I guess. Took a little MI side trip and dang near got to Kev's before we figured it out. Shoulda stopped for gummies...

I have no idea what I am forgetting...

This is my friend Als setup that will be leaving tomorrow morning. Its a mini fifth wheel built in Medina,OH. Probably a one of kind and custom fabricated.

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

It’s plenty muggy here!

Work Horse in the Chevy, and 520H in the trailer. Also in the trailer two Briggs twins being sent to @Bill D from @kpinnc. Will be bringing a mower deck back to @kpinnc as his share of the trade. Pulling out around 6am Wednesday morning.

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!

It didn't look good. Two weeks of stomach virus put me in the hospital for a few days. But I escaped and got home in time to mow the hay, load Dons C-101 and hook up the bucket trailer. It was still loaded from the Hershaul Park show. See Ya in the parking lot line up.

Made it to Gettysburg last night. Met up with Brandon701 this morning. See everyone tomorrow.

I have a funeral to attend today starting when we normally leave. So the Tinker Toy WH Hauler will be rollin hydrocarbons and H2O a bit later. Hope to be arriving around 5-5:30

130 miles in, got rid of my used coffee and a strap check. We rollin’!

A little late posting cause we are already at our airbnb. My hillbilly rig setup. 🤣 Made it here safely so that's what matters. Ran into a bunch of rain on way. Tractors will need washed.

I think i lost a 5 gallon bucket of sweat loading up, but the trailer and truck are ready to go!

Small load for the trip down..hope to have more coming home . Just the 520-8 and a cart. My sons truck and my trailer this year.

We are in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania! Left Greencastle , Indiana at 5:30 am ! Vernon Perry, Rodney Burger ,D.J.Harrison and Lane Ralph are here for the next four days for the Wheel Horse Collector’s Club Show at the Adams County Fairgrounds! I am posting pics of my Wheel Horse load (black trailer) and D. J. Harrison’s load with is 8 wheel Hydro GT 14 articulated tractor! A big , multiday Ford contingent on a Civil War Battlefield tour!

Started loading the trailer at about 4pm yesterday. I got one 701 loaded and the heavens opened. This drainage swale in front of my house rarely has any water in it. It rained 2" overnight. The good news is, my grandson Mason will be here today to help finish loading. We'll be on the road at 6am tomorrow, eating breakfast at the Apple Bin at 7:00, and in line at the fairgrounds by 8:00. See you all Thursday. Edit: The lastest Big Show Forecast

Loaded and ready for tomorrow's ride

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

On site trailer repair for Ken B. Lots of testosterone flowing in the pits!

Packed and ready to leave at first light tomorrow morning...now to shower the PA humidity off...

Made sure to leave some extra room ,just in case 1 1/2 drive for me not bad .Have a smooth trip everyone

No pics but I loaded up in the rain this afternoon and got soaked. Fit a 401 and the bike inside the van, no trailer this year. I'll be passing you CT boys somewhere around Scranton PA! LOL

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.

OMG...WHX?? & Achto missed the INT 80/90 turnoff and stayed on INT 94 ?? Didn't you guys realize you were going up-hill, instead of down?? Did you go through Paw Paw, Mi?? Stop at any wineries?? Maybe I should have left my truck at the Restaruant and rhode out with you guys. Let me guess, you figured it out and got onto INT 69 south back to INT 80/90. Just guessing, but Holy Cow Batman !!

Welcome to Pennsylvania, the land of high humidity.

We are down the the final 3 things to do! Here is the updated list. FINAL 3 things to do 1. Paint the red in the hood 2. Put the decals on the tractor 3. Put on the grippy stuff for the floor boards. Today I got the seat mounted.

I'm leaving work early today in hopes that it will stop raining long enough to get loaded up and strapped down! Taking the 1hr and 45min trip to Arendtsville at 7am tomorrow!

Well it certainly is not my first time at the show however Mrs Bo will be joining for the first time! This should be interesting😜

That mower deck your hauling back my son is hauling down! Heavy sob!!

We left this morning (Wednesday) at 3am and made a few stops along the way. Almost bought a new camper at Camping World in Hamburg but got out before I signed on the dotted line 😂 Then stopped at a really nice car and motorcycle cycle museum in Intercourse, called Barry’s Car Barn. Made it to our Air BNB around 6pm. We will be at the fairgrounds tomorrow morning at 8:45. Here’s my rig loaded up and ready to go!

I loved reading through this thread. I work till 12:30 tomorrow, then its hammer down north bound!

Kevin, I was at breakfast with Jim & Dan when you texted them about your breakdown. You could not have broke down in a better area to find help. The boys are probably about 1 1/2 hours from Toledo at this point.

We took the scenic route today, no turnpike. Broke down Youngstown OH with a massive fuel leak. O’reilly to the rescue, and we’re on the road! 4 hours out

Yeah, on some things others sometimes (body parts) need a bit more finesse.😁

Agreed!!! I go every year and she usually finds a couple precancerous things to burn off. Wear a hat... you hair isn't as thick as it used to be

Massaging... what a funny term for vigorous use of a BFH!

That reel mower looks familiar! Have a safe trip! I am in Bristol, VA tonight. Be in Gettysburg tomorrow.

I haven't even washed the tractor yet. In fact, I can't even get to the tractor. There are too many tents in my garage.

I admire folks who are able to do these types of modifications,engineering. Anything is possible with some knowledge and skills….excellent work .

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!

Put the hood on Artie and lights. 90 percent done, needs cup holder and FEL. In the shed for now got to work on paying jobs. Custom Grill This is how it started with an Idea. started sub frame 522xi body on sub-frame clips Clips located to hold body Lots of close figuring (ciphering) Found a place for Hyd Tank Body work my favorite.....Not

I know I've seen some generic and 100% not WH carts and trailers around at previous years. I even brought my black plastic one in with me one year, just to round up stuff I'd bought through the day, and nobody said boo. It seemed to me that there is a silent acknowledgement my the organizers that yard trailers are very useful at the show for collecting and transporting purchases, and that WH branded ones can be hard to come by these days. But yeah, showing up with one that has a running critter might get you shot at. Or at least your trailer. Wonder what would happen if I rolled in with my 855 sporting the JD K181 I have on a shelf.

Once a set of hubs get worn and loose there isn't a way to fix them. The taper lock hubs from A-Z Tractor will fix the problem. I replaced both of mine with the taper lock on my Raider .

I believe Teddy has a Piston To Piston Sunstrand in the C-160 with a needle valve type tow valve. It has to be unscrewed. (The older hydro gears used a port valve which you could remove as a unit.) \Piston to piston tow valve If you get it too hot you may damage eh o ring...I have some if you need them

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

A whole lotta staring and thinking goes into something like this! At least that's how it works in my shop.

Today between hanging out with my nieces and nephews, I got more work done on the Frankenstein C-141. I got the frame ends welded by my father, and assembled the rear end up to the fender mount. I also installed the upper dash and started to figure out how to get the throttle and choke working. All I have to do now is hook up the throttle and choke and change out the fuel pump on the K321 and it may run and move.

They've been plentiful here too. Permethrin. Light colored clothing. Check and remove them OFTEN in areas where you have the lonestar or other more dangerous ticks. Up here - so far - no lonestar. As long as we remove them every 12 to 24 hours we're in very little danger of sickness.

Here is my forecast. Wed 18 PM Thunderstorms 86°/72° 35% SW 8 mph Thu 19 PM Thunderstorms 88°/68° 39% WSW 11 mph Fri 20 Partly Cloudy 82°/63° 16% WNW 10 mph Sat 21 Mostly Sunny 84°/66° 16% W 7 mph
