Each year the hard working leadership of the Wheel Horse Collectors Club produces an amazing gathering. I snapped a few pictures to share with everyone. @c-series don received recognition for his contribution to the hobby and celebrated his birthday at the show. Workhorse feature tractors were at the head of the line, even the pink one. Short5 ones Long ones Not all were red It was good to see @Mrs. Rules and @AMC RULES @Mike'sHorseBarn and @Handy Don were everywhere @Pullstart had a Kickstart that became a Won't Start so Rylee attempted to Yank Start it but it remained a Won't Start until Uncle Dan @Achto solved the problem. @squonk. @rjg854, @Achto, @WHX?? and @AMC RULES were solving the world's problems. Mine was not the only A-60 Electric at the show @Horse Newbie and his brother made the show This young man went through two tanks of gas and loved his Ahooga Horn.

Posting more pictures of some of our Wheel Horse family members at the Big Show! It was so great to be able to make it this year after missing last year’s show!

I spent the day in my flip flops, since Waldo called me the flip flop kid. I figured being near 100 degrees, the lack of PPE, or a shirt, would be for the best. I stayed hydrated and got the trailer unloaded! My biggest prize would have to be the hundred dollar utility trailer, and I pretty much pushed it off the big gooseneck!

what did you bring home? Memories Oh, and a 314A, a 42" SD, and a Trac Vac

As requested by @Wild Bill in VA - here is his special birthday interview with @c-series don at the start of this year’s tractor parade! IMG_1369.mov

Another year... Another close call... I am glad you were wearing your @Pullstart patented flip flops... available now on Prime...

I’m looking forward to next year already! Thanks to everyone in the club and all the participants for making this show awesome! Wheel Horse people are the best!

Having Wild Bill drive my Harley Burbinson was enough of a parade entry to me!

I unloaded a K161 in a pile ( had to supply my own tote!) a horse mask, bunch of small block Kohler tins, 3 new seats from KB, a Packers koozy, revolving emergency light, throttle cable and the free rotted 36" GD deck. Damaged canopy frame and bucket of tie downs. Emptied the cooler with 2 cans of pop. 6 cookies still intact and a package of smashed cookies I sat on.

It was a fantastic Wheel Horse Show for 2025, even with all the rainy weather we had in the weeks before which is the time most of us get ready for the show the turnout was fantastic! I got to see both Don and Jeff Kane who are the people that started the Annual Wheel Horse Show and make many new friends. For numbers we had a successful year with way over 1,000 Wheel Horses and the parade was only 10 minutes short of the record of 3 hours long on Friday. I thank you all for coming and enjoying the show. Wild Bill Richmond, VA

If that was the worst thing that happened while unloading all that stuff then I'd say you did good! 👍

Don’t scratch that girl

I can't believe it's been 20 years since I restored a commando 800 for our grandson but here it is in 2005 freshly finished. This morning I received these via text from our daughter. She said she thought I'd like to see them. Our granddaughter on the Commando. The ham on the Commando. And our daughters friends son on his first Wheel Horse voyage. I'd say the smaller Commando is sized perfectly for them.

I was doing some cleaning and rearranging and found this from my trip to that I wanted to share! Back in 1987 I went to the Wheel Horse School of Business at Notre Dame, and I'm wondering what other members ever went to this training? It was great training and I learned a lot from it! When I got there the president of Wheel Horse started out saying that he'd just come from Disney World, and how he and his family had to wait in a long line to get in there! Then he told us that "until we have people standing in line to buy our tractors, we have work to do!" C-85

@Handy Don on @ebinmaine‘s behalf grabbed a 520H roller at the show, purely for the swept front axle and steering. I ended up with the back half. Well, it ejected itself from the trailer today. I unloaded in memory of @elcamino/wheelhorse in my flip flops. I’m glad no toes were injured in the making of these pictures! I don’t know what I’ll use this for yet, but if/when I do, it will not need any of the broken or bent metal. No harm, no foul.

I was original looking for a 1955 RJ that had smooth hood with cast steering wheel but what I found I didn't want or was not for sale. Wondering around the least barn A to Z had a 1967 model 867 that did not look too bad, and the engine ran! The mower deck could use a new shell, but I cut part of my lawn when we got home Saturday. The lights work and that was road tested during the Friday Night Cruise. The tires are original, and I did need to find a few parts before leaving the show like another battery box (Thanks Lane), a correct choke cable (Thanks Daves Parts World) a hood ornament and a new steering wheel center cap ....... and I know where to get a N.O.S. cap. I own a model 1067 and 1267 so I needed a model 867 to complete the set. Wild Bill Richmond, VA

I picked up a few odds and ends, and the crowning jewel was my rj 58. Wanted one for years, but could never find one that I could afford. Have to thank Josh Vangalder for the red head caps, and the help getting rj parts. Thanks to Dave Trump for selling me the RJ. This girl is happy!!!!!

Parts for a rear rock shaft for my son's 312-H A pair of deck wheels for @ri702bill The swept axle & reduction steering off a 520-H for @ebinmaine Left over is a partial 520-H dash with the full wiring harness (ok condition), illuminated gauges (untested), and the warning light electronics that I’ll be posting in the classifieds

It's chocolate ice cream from the social.... So we are sitting there eating ours and where's Pullstart he's gonna miss out? Off doing what he does best ... yakking with another guy. He got there just in time to get the bottom of the barrel to get a chocolate shake. Which he proceeded to dump all over his new RS hat! Speaking of the cruise I left that to the younger guys it was pretty cut throat driving. So I was sitting on the throne and the concrete in the bathroom was just rumbling and shaking. I didn't wanna die on the toilet so took a shower and when done they were still going at it so I went and sat on the picnic tables at turn one. 'Till a youngster lost it and almost clipped the telephone pole there. I moved to the benches by the food stand and that was just as risky with them flying around that corner. The exhaust fumes were terrible and decided to go back to camp to die of alcohol poisoning. @Achto said he took a few laps on 'Fish's bike and that was enough!

Achto and I at least had the honor of parking our tractors in there at night but when you walk in and the first thing you notice is @c-series don 's display... that's a tuff act to follow. I would have like to have seen him bring some implements i know he has ... notably a planter but I didn't see a back door to get it out of anyway ... Don't worry Kev I did see some tractors of questionable lineage in there.

Oh great... I have both of those ...now I gotta go two years in a row. Wanna buy one Sparky?

Those don't go there!!!!!

Well for now, I de-flipped it and called it good!

Well it's hot out... so what better thing to do than some summer cleaning. Dragged the 3 Horsemen out for a cleaning. The little one came down and offered her assistance so we washed them up nice and finished off with a nice hand towel drying! Now to go melt in the pool!

953/1054 engine. Extra holes in the belt guard and the oil drain is on the bottom.

Bill, thank you for all you add to the show and a big thankyou to all of the club members who work so hard to bring us such a great weekend.

Wow almost forgot this one... the best!!! @Sparky gave me this right out of the blue since he knew I am a sub vet. Many many thanks Mike ... I have little to no sub shirts since I don't feel it's right to advertise one's service to his country but I'll proudly wear this one. The front has a Electric Boat logo which is a huge sub shipyard in CT where they build many. I worked there for a year or so after my discharge.

Three days at the show and hardly had a chance to get around but I did get some pictures! It was a very memorable and very appreciated show this year! Thank you to the Wheel Horse Collector’s Club and all the volunteers! 103 Photos posted so hang in there!

Always great to get gifts from Friends. I usually bring a strawberry rhubarb pie for Van ( @Wheel-N-It ) and @Jrblanke. I didn't know they were coming and didn't get one this time But Van brought me a jar of Strawberry Rhubarb jam. And @Lane Ranger I think was just getting rid of stuff so he handed me a " Vintage" 12V revolving light with the box ! I tried out the light on the 857 and it works!

I'm not sure how to explain this but.... You figure My dress white pants on me Friday morning at 7:00 am and I mill around the South Mountain Fairgrounds looking at Wheel Horse parts and tractors (7:00 am till about 10:30 am so 3-1/2 hours) then work on getting some of my Wheel Horses running (almost 2 hours), get a quick lunch (about 1/2 hour), now time for the parade (2 hours and 50 minutes with about a zillion tractors going by me) Now time to buy another tractor (let's say 45 minutes) alright it's dinner now (so that's about 1-1/2 hours) Hummmm next was the Club meeting(and that's another hour) Now ice cream social .... it was quick at 40 minutes. Now is the parts I can't explain, add up all this time that I had on my white pants and they stayed clean! SO WHY IS IT AFTER ONLY 1 HOUR IN THE FRIDAY NIGHT CRUISE NIGHT MY PANTS LOOK LIKE THIS! Wild Bill Richmond, VA

I’ve been fortunate to have found a senior cart only 45 minutes from home . The rims are the same as 1955 rj-35 rims with spot welds & schenuit tires. After looking through literature I’ve been able to locate the advertisement . As of now i have been able to verify there is two carts known. One here in Connecticut and one down in Georgia.

I don't know which is tougher you are these tractors, my money is on you "Hey lets be careful out there folks".

At least it happened at home and not in a Chick Fil A drive through! Waldo was watching over you! When Randy and I were zig zagging on Rt. 11 in C-Burg on our way to the Hickory Ridge I could hear him laughing when I said "Where the heck is this road going?"

De-bend it. Solved.

I would not use a blue tarp. It holds condensation and will cause more corrosion than leaving it out in the weather. If you have no other choice, you can place the tarp in a tent configuration so air can circulate underneath the tarp, it will be much better.

Pink Flamingo Day is a holiday that is celebrated in the United States on June 23 every year to acknowledge the popular lawn ornament. Pink flamingos are used as decorations in many homes and gardens. Usually made out of plastic, the birds are most popular among working-class homeowners. Eventually, due to saturation, they were considered a bit tasteless. Some people had issues with them because they were unnatural and mass-produced. They argued that they were detrimental to the environment. The pink flamingos have now become a symbol of rebellion, irony, and contradiction.

Day two, all the shenanigans happened! @clueless scored a killer deal on a utility trailer and passed on the savings to me! Thanks to Mikes Horse Barn and Allie for the assist with that big RAM! @Chris T found a Maryland score that needed some evictions too. It’s always great catching up with him and Rose, when I should be sleeping!

It was great to get this running at the show! Huge thanks to @wallfish and @Docwheelhorse for tuning with me!

If I’d have known we were close to the record, I’d have gotten in line! I figured you had enough of the heat and could use the break

Saturday afternoon they had all lanes in both directions on I-77 closed due to a tanker roll over with a chemical spill. I went on to I-26 which added some time to my trip but not too bad.

It was good to see you and @AMC RULES As for the Wheel Horse Tabernacle Quire serenading Don, I don't think we are ready for prime time TV.

Today I took apart my original seat, it looked like a pancake so I cleaned all the old stuff out of it and re-stuffed it the best I could. I’m not good with these type of things but it looks ok for what it is.

Must been the show for gifting ... Lane gave me this really cool booklet packed with cool vintage stuff. I also got some of his creamer caps and put them on the 701 until I could find some of the regular caps. Not gonna even look for caps now they will always remind me of this show! A great conversation piece for future shows ... Figured I best leave ya a trinket for letting us hang under your tent ... Dan and I have a tractor buddy whose wife's mom who is part of our camp. She makes that kinda stuff and sells them at fleas. It got a little scuffed up from Dan's $100 black hood trying to mate in the trailer...

The new owner of this awesome tractor is VERY happy.

Too hot for visuals...

I have a 1055 that could use some cosmetic work and a 1075 let’s just say I think one of the previous owners liked there Budweiser and mowing . This is the third year in a row that I missed the show because of grandchildren being born .

Kev,I hope that trailer works out for you, I have the guys phone number if you need it. Great meeting you and your daughter again after 11 years. Hopefully see y'all next year.

I do agree with you all and I have seen unfavorable remarks on other forums about this design as well. Yes, I do purchase the shirts every year to donate to the club and collect for myself. My understanding is that design was generated by AI, Stephen Hawkins the renown astro physicist warned us to beware of AI and I can see why. Wild Bill Richmond, VA

@ebinmaine I know your referred to as Bear, but did someone happen to get a pic of you working in woods??
