    Veterans - Thank You for your service to our Country. And for those in active service who will become veterans - Thank You for serving. Here's hoping all your "veteran" years are long and healthy! My dedication to this sacred duty is total and whole-hearted. In the responsibility bestowed on me never will I falter. And with dignity and perseverance my standard will remain perfection. Through the years of diligence and praise and the discomfort of the elements, I will walk my tour in humble reverence to the best of my ability. It is he who commands the respect I protect, his bravery that made us so proud. Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day, alone in the thoughtful peace of night, this soldier will in honored glory rest under my eternal vigilance. - Simon 1971 Creed all Tomb Guards learn in training.

    Finally got around to adding a ramp to the shed. I put the shed kinda close to the driveway. So, I made a fixed ramp using old and new boards (Recycle.Reduce,Reuse!) and 2 removable ramps.

    11-11-1978 The General Lee jumps into history On this day in 1978, a stuntman on the Georgia set of “The Dukes of Hazzard” launches the show’s iconic automobile, a 1969 Dodge Charger named the General Lee, off a makeshift dirt ramp and over a police car. That jump, 16 feet high and 82 feet long (its landing totaled the car), made TV history. Although more than 300 different General Lees appeared in the series, which ran on CBS from 1979 until 1985, this first one was the only one to play a part in every episode: That jump over the squad car ran every week at the end of the show’s opening credits. The General Lee was a neon-orange Charger with “01” painted on the doors, a Confederate flag on the roof, and a horn that played the first 12 notes of the song “Dixie.” It belonged to the Dukes of Hazzard themselves, the cousins Bo (played by actor John Schneider) and Luke Duke (actor Tom Wopat), who used it to get out of dangerous scrapes and away from the corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg. Scenes featuring the General Lee are some of the show’s most memorable: Luke Duke sliding sideways across the car’s hood; the boys hopping feet-first through the windows (the Charger’s doors were welded shut, so the windows were the only way to get in and out); the General flying over ditches, half-open drawbridges and police cruisers. Because practically every one of the General Lee’s stunts ended up wrecking the car, the show’s prop masters bought every 1969 Dodge Charger they could find (and there were plenty: the Chrysler Corporation sold about 85,000 in all). Then they outfitted each one for action, adding a roll cage to the inside, a protective push bar to the nose and heavy-duty shock absorbers and springs to the suspension. The prop masters also tampered with the brakes to make it easier to do the 180-degree “Bootleggers’ Turn” that so often helped the Duke boys evade Boss Hogg. Cars used for jumps also got trunks full of concrete or lead ballast to keep them from flipping over in midair. While “The Dukes of Hazzard” was on the air, the General Lee got about 35,000 fan letters each month. Fans bought millions of remote-controlled and toy versions of the car, and some even modified their real cars to look like the Dukes’ Charger. Indianapolis DJ Travis Bell restored the original General Lee in 2006.

    Thank you all fellow vets for your service and thank you all non vets for supporting us! For all current Service members The Watch For twenty years This sailor has stood the watch While some of us were in our bunks at night This sailor stood the watch While some of us were in school learning our trade This shipmate stood the watch Yes.. even before some of us were born into this world This shipmate stood the watch In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen brewing on the horizon of history This shipmate stood the watch Many times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family standing there Needing his guidance and help Needing that hand to hold during those hard times But he still stood the watch He stood the watch for twenty years He stood the watch so that we, our families and Our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety, Each and every night Knowing that a sailor stood the watch Today we are here to say 'Shipmate... the watch stands relieved Relieved by those You have trained ,Guided, and Led Shipmate you stand relieved.. we have the watch..." "Boatswain..Standby to pipe the side...Shipmate's going Ashore.."

    Couple notes: 1. No mention of the true star of the show.....Daisy. As a teen boy at the time, I'd much rather watch Daisy than the General. 2. Cool note that the trunks were loaded with concrete or lead to keep from nose diving. 3. People wrote fan letters to the car?

    The 5010 was the 3-piece case trans last used in the 401 only in 1961 The 5007 was the first 2-piece case trans used in the 551 and 701 in 1961 Have never compared the parts but in 1962 at serial number 62-02856 there was a bend added to the shifter to clear the HY-2 hydraulic pump. That may be the only difference in the 5007 and 5025. The 5025 was replaced by the 5046 in 1964 because they no longer considered the shifter a part of the transmission. That may be the only difference in the 5025 and 5046. Garry

    Just became a SUPPORTER..! Well I feel Finally dragged it home and now trying to decide what to do with it. Definitely leaning towards parting it out or sell it all together, or keep it if the Wife say I can...lol. Idk yet. Like I said before got it all for $75. Working on the plow right now, but I did try to get the Clevis Hitch off, with no luck so far. After all that going to clean up the deck and make sure everything is lubed up " that's what she said." Well enjoy..!

    Hey guys! Any thoughts as to what this D180 might be worth? Or, I guess, what would you pay for it? It supposedly runs and drives well.

    Well here in the Harrisonburg/Staunton I-81 corridor of VA I should say, seems like garden tractors of any brand in really decent shape goes for a little more than what most on here snag them for but WHEEL HORSE doesn't often show up around here and is usually gone in a few days just my experiences here,... And with ALL that's in the first picture if sold individually would probably net more than the $2-2500 I said...just my thoughts/experiences, one more thing now we all know a craftsman snow cab will work on our so that could out some others looking for a cheap alternative to the WH/ orginal cab,Jeff.

    No expert, but there was one on Michigan CL last week for $1500 - way better shape looks wise, with a deck - and its gone now (no idea what it actually sold for), so...

    WVHilllbilly is close on what that would sell for here in VA.There is a lot of great looking attachments.The tiller tines look decent and that adds value for sure.As I see it my biggest problem with scoring a good deal on these things is the fact that it is a relative that will require many dollars to keep him in a nursing home.I would not like to be in the position to feel that I didn't do the right thing by my aunt or uncle.Doing what's right for family is a definite consideration.Just make sure that someone doesn't come in and and steal this for a couple hundred bucks.JMHO,Luck,JAinVA

    I can't give a value, but, I do like the way most of the metal looks straight and nice. I see the ding or dong on the right rear fender. Always liked these Big D machines. I missed a refreshed, very well done one a few months back for 1400. I should have leaped, but I slept. Will follow the thread, see what the pros say. Best of luck. Glenn

    Fix a flat is nasty when you do go to replace tires. I would echo Tankman's comment and get new tires with tubes...I just did it this past year and am very glad I did...

    Tubes is probably your best bet unless you pick up thorns in the tires, then Green Slime is the hot ticket. Randy

    inside a nice cab of course! I think we will have to start a thread again this year on 's moving/blowing white stuff! Yes no hurry on the bracket 'billy... I am thinking about getting it in the shop (when I have room and get other projects out of the way ) and going through the whole thing and doing that auger bearing conversion thing and an electric chute rotator. I still have the trusty single to get me thru this winter plus a walk behind and the 4 wheeler plow.

    It's going to depend on the year. In 1976 and 77 the B-series had the 45.5" wheelbase like the C-series, prior to that they had a 43.5" wheelbase. The other differences in the 76/77's are as follows. 22-7.50 vs 23-8.50 rear tires, low back vs high back seat, 13" vs 15" steering wheel, headlights optional vs standard. Other than that, they were identical. I bought a new 76 B-80 and after a few years 'converted' it to a C-160. Everything was a simple bolt on item.

    That's a good tractor as well! It's actually on my list of tractors to get. Of all the posts I read here, anyone who has one seems to like it. Sorry that one fell through for you! I know what it's like, believe me!

    You mention that the tractor has not run for a year or so. Before you buy a fuel pump, take the gas line off at the fuel tank and make sure that the screen in the tank is not full of crud blocking free flow of gasoline. I know it sounds a little simplistic but there are times when it is just that easy.

    Thought I would add one more to the mix... What I use when I paint my wheel horses is code pr4,my dad matched this to the nos hood that we found for the tractor,this paint would be a 03 crysler red. You can get it mixed at most any auto parts stores. Here is a pic of the 401 that was painted with it.
