After selling my 1054 I set about looking for a round hood....something like an 854...753...you all know the type. What I came home with was quite the opposite! She's a GT1100 with a diesel transplant....not even close to what I was after . She's stinky and loud, not sure what I'll do with it or how long I'll own it....but it is cool as heck! A few pics Rollin Coal!! Mike....

That does it. I'm finally gettin a camera. either the phone is dead or I can't see what I'm doing. I had to throw out a bunch of them! On with the show! Thursday morning Howard needed a "little" help with the Mash pole. Solving the Worlds problems that didn't come up Wed. night. The Dino and Don (varosd) Roadapples Horse head Halloween mask complete with sound effects! 953 nut lining up for the teeter totter with out a tractor! Go get em Rich! Van and Wallfish discussing either how Rhubarb pie or gasoline tastes! Jay's extra loud machine. Hauled from NC in the back of a Caravan. When Jay unloaded it Van didn't hesitate to throw a For Sale sign on it This little guy looked lonely.

OK! Thank you so much for confirming, Live4outdoors! I didn't want to post someone else's picture! Here it is and thank you again!

...this many of our moderators...gathered in one place. From left to right...Sparky(Mike), TT(Terry), NYLYON(Karl), Casual Observer(Jason), Stevebo(Steve). Many thanks to you guys... for all the hard work, behind the scenes...keeping us up and running here.

Oh well chaps , I missed out on the Mod photo this year , maybe next year . I've been a bit busy recently working on becoming the next Prime Minister of Great Britain now that the job is now vacant . Watch this space .

In between all my goings on I got a few photos and videos. IMG_6359.MOV ken.MOV

First, thanks to who ever took and posted this pic, it's one of the best I have seen. So it's like this. As most of you know, I have advanced coronary issues. Next years show?? Yea, that would be a medical miracle. For the last 3 years, I have used this project, to basically stay alive. It kept me from just saying "screw it" and rolling over. Every day I had a reason to get up, a reason to live. Dad would be very proud of this piece, but, like me, he would have been even more impressed with the fellow collectors. A great bunch of people, unselfish to the max, and always eager to help and admire. I stopped twice on the way home and cried, I am so happy I did this, and was able to make the trip. I am very lucky and blessed to have met such a great bunch of people. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for a wonderful experience. Bob

more pics: This is nasty! Where the heck is that Bus? Easy rider Van! night time! Traveling in style, Joe Bob's rig A couple more; My favorite Large motorcycle procession! Steve wanted to join them!

Thanks to the WHCC Show for featuring custom Wheel Horse tractors this year. There was a great turnout of customs at the Big Show. I was not able to get my 1961 hot rod tractor finished and ready for this show. However, I did take several photos of these custom Wheel Horses on Saturday morning. Enjoy! My Wildfire puller... Gorgeous 1656... Liking the hitch on the 1656... This is a Wheel Horse "M-80" motorcycle made almost entirely out of 1960's Wheel Horse tractor parts...

Picked up a seat cover for my 753 from buckrancher at the show and I will say his wife did an awesome job! Exactly what my 753 needed! Thanks a lot!! First 2 pics are now and last picture is when I first got it.

A preview of the group pic ...

My daughter was bitton by the WH bug shortly after I was a few years ago. Her legs are still too short to operate my B100 or 520 with Matt's foot pedal. She found this Lawn Ranger during our 2nd walk around the show. She's got a good eye! It's hard to believe how original this thing is. Thanks to "Wild Bill" for the hauling help back to the trailer.

None of these characters but here are a few of mine....more come when I get near wi fi

@Racinbob Thank you for the headlight bezel's, my 416 is back to looking like it should. Yes it was the left one missing, but the bezel looks fantastic, I really appreciate you bringing them for me! @wheelhorseman1000 Lowell, I was too tired yesterday to put the new hydraulic cylinder on my C-160 yesterday, but first thing this morning (7:00am) I began to put it in. I needed to get a couple of cotter pins, but after putting everything together, the C-160 started right up (has been sitting for 2 years) and the cylinder and hoses are leak free! It's great to have this machine back together so it can join forces for lawn duty! @Fun Engineer Dave, the Keychain is beautiful your wife does meticulous work. I need to find a shinny key then it will have it's home on the C-160. Thank you! @Vinylguy Terry, my thoughts and prayers are with you with the loss of your Dad. Words can not express how appreciative I am (as are we all) for the work you do. It was awesome walking around seeing everyone's banners, and mine itself is beautiful. Thank you so much for taking care of RedSquare each year! Oh, and Pepper LOVES her new Wheel Horse Bandana.

I picked up a nice ARK 500 Series front end loader.

When you just can't get enough pictures of the Big Show

Okay. Here are several pictures taken with my camera. Please feel free to add your group picture here as well. As soon as I decide which one best shows as many faces as possible, I will add numbers to the pictures so we can start identifying you. Feel free to chime in with which picture you think best shows all the faces. Thanks Thanks to everyone for your help so far. Now the rest is up to you. I have taken some of Steve's pics and some of mine to find the ones with the most faces showing. Here they are. There are five pictures and each one is numbered. There is some overlap, but that cant be helped. I will start by identifying myself and several others. Please add to this thread with your names and corresponding number. I will edit them into this post, then when we are all done, the thread will be cleaned up and only this post will remain. 1. C-series Don, Don Oliver 2. Bob, Racinbob 3.

Although I missed out this year on what sounds like a great BIG SHOW, I was sent a picture today and noticed the evolution of the dinosaur We have all seen him on 4 Some have seen him on 3 Many saw him on 2 I wonder will we ever see him on 1? Just had to laugh, thought I'd share it with everyone cause your a great guy Steve!

Doctor told me I need reconstructive surgery on my ankles. Will have to be off them at least three months each. I came up with this hand-clutch so I can continue using my tractors while recovering. It is not elegant, but it works well. Can fit it to both sides for either the clutch or brake.

That's about a complete 180 from a round hood.

@857 horse Howard was so tuckered out from tending that Mash Pole, he earned a well deserved rest. BTW way Howard, great job on the pole! Howard's Mash Pole could now be a regular fixture at the show every year. The WHCC was willing to store it in their shed so it could be set up for future shows, but I think Howard took it home to make some improvements so it can handle more signs. Great seeing you again! And THANKS for your sense of humor too for authorizing a post of this pic! I would've gladly deleted it if you said so. " Oh how nice it would be to have a Kohler in that hot rod tractor of mine! Vrooom Vrooom"

I picked up these 1956 and 1957 RJ-35s from R&B Wheel Horse Stables, and I also picked up a 401! The RJs weren't running at first, but thanks to Jason ( @whtractors24 ) he got both of them running great for me by doing some carb and point adjustments. They start on the first or second pull. Thanks a lot Jason I appreciate it! I also picked up an original RJ35 brake kit from Vin ( @VinsRJ ) for my 1956 RJ-35. Thanks Vin! It was very nice meeting all fellow Redsquare members this year. To all Redsquare members, the show had an amazing outcome. Whoever hasn't been to the show yet, I highly suggest you to make it next year, you'll have an amazing time!

That tractor is a work of ART. SOOOO many small details and the craftsmanship is top notch! THANK YOU for bringing it for us to admire!

I understand from comments of certain members that due to my absence on Friday that my name show be " where the H _ _ _ is that guy, or has anybody seen that S _ _?" I any sorry that missed Friday but I really enjoyed meeting you guys and spending time with you on Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning. While looking at all the tractors and items for sale I could not chew gum and walk. I forgot that I had my camera never took a single picture. So thanks to everyone that did. Still trying to decide on the name change. I hope I can make the show next year and meet more of you.

...and, what we all see... when you guys say, just look at the black camera.

A Squonk and an old man.......How much Racket can we make ??? loloolo

When i start my Diesel, flowers wilt,, small birds fall from the sky. Women Faint and Strong Men cry. When i pee, a faint oily sheen appears on the surface of the water. When i fart, the other guys think it is a Jake brake. So, Yeah, i like your tractor

The raffle tractor at the big show this year was a unique machine, I know I watched the progress pictures of Eldon working on the tractor. so many people came together to make this build possible, including Ken donating a really nice 16hp onan that was installed Wednesday before the show... the ticket container was packed to the point that they were pushing it down to fit more tickets. One person said that they bought $350 worth of tickets, I know of another who bought $170 in tickets. I myself bought $40 (my usual each year.) then about 10 minutes before the office closed I decided to use my last $10 to purchase a few more tickets. 2:00 on Saturday rolled around and everyone sat in anticipation of the raffle tractor winning ticket would be picked. I waited through the raffles until someone needed a trash bag which I happened to have, I handed the nice lady the bag, and found that I was the one who won the last raffle prize so I got the honor of picking the winning ticket...I did not want to because then there was no guarantee I would win I faced the crowd and pulled the winning ticket, not even looking at it because I knew there was no chance that I would win. Wild Bill then scanned the room, looking at my husband Jim and I thought no way he won!! but then he looked back at me with a smile on his face and that look in his eyes. Then he turned the ticket over to show the name on the back, (one of the tickets I bought right before the office closed)...my name NO WAY NO WAY I screamed with delight, my hands started shaking and I could not stop smiling or making what I can only describe as happy squeaks (Wild Bill made sure that everyone heard me by placing the microphone hooked to the PA system in my direction. The funny thing is that by my noises eveyone knew who won...lol needless to say I am still in awe and honored to have the custom, it will be at every show I make it to, and I love riding it around, and I think Jim likes it just as much. We stuffed a raider Jim bought along with my 401 in the back of the truck to make room for that tractor.

Someone take the pole! Someone take the pole! I think the bus stop has some competition! Howard you HAVE to stay at the Comfort Inn with us next year!

They say " what's been seen can't be un-seen" .

I picked up some RuGlyde after work Saturday and used on the 1054 tires when I cleaned her up. I really liked the results.

For those members that could not make the show this year.....enjoy.

His first ride on my "dibs" tractor was pretty cool.

No one from the bus stop wanted a ride?

Great picts, and many thanks for sharing them... was very nice to finally have the opportunity to meet you in person. Both, the Mr&Mrs Rules are hoping to see you again next year.

Just to add to the pic of Steve on the bike, here is video of that now famous ride! IMG_0892.MOV

I got a Turbo Bagger, a very nice 42" RD Deck Shell, High Back seat [non-WH], R/R, Lower Dash panel with good Volt Gauge and Switch, some Mower Belt guards and of-course some decals from Terry. Good buys on all. Had a great time!

Howard is one of the nicest people at the show. You guys should be ashamed to do this...but as long as Howard said it was OK.... "Caption This" Remember to tell Steve..."I have something for him that I know he does not have." Does anybody know who this is?? She was driving by when my wife was taking pictures, and Howard asked her to pose for a picture. Howard...excellent year this year my friend.

I got over 90 pictures from the show and my wife took a bunch of them. I thought I would share these two here on this thread.

@wallfish

I'm attaching a few pictures of tractors that caught my eye.

Oh stop! It was an honor and a pleasure and so much fun to get to meet SO many great people who let me take their pictures to share the joy that and the Big Show brings to us all-both in person and virtually!

One night time pic of the MASH pole. What a great day , great people and great tractors! More to come tomorrow!
