@stevasaurus WHERE IN THE WORLD IS STEVASAUROUS ???? WELL LETS LOOk @857 horse @953 nut @squonk

The 2017 Big Show Parade was a big hit and "Wild Bill" Pearson did an outstanding job narrating the event.

Hope the sun comes out

Thanks Richard, here are a few more. Thanks for the clock Terry. See Y'all tomorrow.

@953 nut here's the pictures of Ed that you didn't get because you filled your card in the camera.

I had plans to at least attend today, but Mrs. Sailor and I just returned yesterday afternoon from a 12 day Baltic Sea cruise. My body is still complaining of the 7 hour jet lag! I am up at 3 am because it thinks that it is 10 am!!! Thankfully it was uneventful as we spent two days in St. Petersburg, Russia right after the political demonstrations, and then there was the US surveilance plane/Russian fighter encounter over the Baltic right after we had left the area. Tallin, Estonia just returned

Boy steve, you sure eat alot at the big show

Finally found some time the last two weekends to reinstall the K301s I had rebuilt a few months ago. Everything hooked back up and tonight after work she went on her "maiden voyage" mowing lawn. Did a great job.

As far as number , no , not a lot of them left around . It was a one-year model of course and in '67 it was pretty much a top of the line tractor . In my opinion , one of the best looking Wheel Horse ever made and very simple , yet extremely capable of doing any task . This one I had picked up to have two 1277's , but ended up selling it since I really had no use for it at the time - never should have done that but at least it went to a member here . This is my first one and will stay no matter what - this tractor has done so much work around here and around town I could never part with it . I need to fix the frame and give the old girl a new paint job and address a few things , but it still fires and runs well although the old K really needs to be rebuilt . Sarge

Good thing you missed me or I would owe you a new lense!

So, where is Steve On A stick going to show up next?

Here you go @stevasaurus

Stevebo is awesome but he has not yet paid the tab so it's first indication that steve on a stick is not actually steve. Not to mention some very direct feedback from Chris who is the actual puppet master.

I'll speak for myself and Dino...we are bumming. @c-series don yes take pride of your offspring..before you know it you will be an empty nester like many of us and then what?!

For sure it's not the same without you here Steve . Heck this is my only second show and definitely not my last . Everyone here is so willing to help each other out . It really is like one big family . For example when returned to the show after dinner @stevebo came up to me just to say hi , next thing I know he's wet sanding and buffing my 1057 and a huge !!!

Just sitting here earlier this evening skimming CL for a steal and found and bought this Brinley "potato" plow (as he had it listed) about 15 minutes from me for $50, he also had a single gang disc same price but I have 2 already do passed on that and the plow I scored last year ($75) was in really rough shape so off to see and bring it home, everything seems nice and tight on it only thing I see is a bit of rust on the moldboard and the very tip is slightly tweaked, you guys think I did good on this one? ,Jeff.

Well here it is all painted. now have to wait a few days to apply decals. i am going to let it sit in the sun tomorrow. This dumpcart is not perfect. it was pitted beyond beleif. i filled has much of the pits in i could with jb weld. Its not a show peice but looks alot better than before. I wanted to preserve it for years to come. its even getting different tires on it. that are in better condition.

Thanks so much for all the pictures, they take some of the sting out of not being there.

And Steve those are horns I gave you . Not playboy bunny's ears as others are probably thinking.

Boy or boy, that Steve sure gets around. Lightning fast he is. That hard lemonade picture he seemed to be having the biggest smile.. why is That? Glenn

I was all set to go last year & some crap came up. Swore I was going this year but more crap came up. I swear I'm going next year!

@953 nut this is Jeffs wife Angela we would like to possiably take Steve touring to for a few if we can

Been super busy, so no time for posting. Finished for the most part at 2am this morning, and left for the show around noon. Made it to the fairgrounds around 7pm. Have an issue with either the new carb or governor adjustment as it is not making full power. So if anyone has an idea as to what's up with it, and up are around the tent area in the morning, stop by. Am in a long black and red tent, first one on right as you come down the road to the camping area. Black Jeep Commander next to the tent. Have to clean it up from the rain and put the decals on in the morning as well.

I wonder if Mike Martino is there? That Straight from the Horse's Mouth tractor is slick!

All loaded up, heading out in the a.m. Friday/Saturday are my days to shine.

Had an hour with the C121 today, dropped the gearbox oil which was old contaminated and cream like flushed out and replaced. Engine oil very low and old so changed that.. brakes are not good so adjusted but better to change the lining I think so will have to source one, new air filter and seal reqired, tires are shot so need 4 new ones currently Carlisle on all four corners at the moment, engine mountings are shot the list goes on but a good wheel horse in the main ... made to last. Still not had chance to get it running but will shortly as I've decided to run it before a rebuild... the wife named it "Rocky" today as she said he looks a tough cookie who will make a come back.... so "Rocky" it is...😉

Nice pictures Thanks!!

I think he has a lot of clones.

I adjusted the high speed jet and got it staightened out, runs great now.

Looks like he's gettin' around

Just about have tears in my eyes ... really enjoyed last year, but just got a defibrillator installed, and DR said no driving, so here I sit!! ANOTHER example of the unbelievable Wheel Horse family, ... I found a D180 that I would like to use for the V8 project, ... AZ Tractor has it, he is bringing it to the show, and JPWH is going to haul it to his place in GA for me!! Hopefully I can get cleared to drive first of the week so I can go up and get it!! Again, fantastic people!!!

Oh the pain of not being there. This helps though. Nice pictures.

Sounds like you are in the right place for a hand in getting it running right!

Those pictures are fantastic, BIG THANK YOU ,, makes me miss it more. Glenn

Martino is there! Minus about 75 pounds! So pay close attention as you may not recognize him. Btw. Jason offered to assist me with detailing a special RJ35. In the pic, Hadin is detailing the RJ35, that Martino brought to first show. Thanks Jason. That's my buddy sitting in pic hat has opted out of the wheel horse phenomenon for the moment. But his favorite model is GT14.

Awesome picts Jeff... thanks for sharing. We will be seeing you tomorrow.

I'm on my way!

953 nut my truck is in the background of the 13 pic I was just unloading and

HERE'S TO ALL THOSE WHO CAN'T ATTEND - A TOAST, FROM MY C-105 TO YOUR 'S... TO THOSE WHO ARE THERE - THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE PICTURES!

Cool beans (kind of dates my age huh?). I'll take care of you. We've had a blast! Emory has really enjoyed the trip and is planning for next year already!

Had it planned out, but with shift change and now a new position/promotion at work, I had to back out, really bums me out since my favorite is this year's featured, and so along with theme "maybe" next year, Jeff.

Funny you should mention that -- I've been planning to clean up mine as well. I have a potentially bad connection somewhere for my fuel gauge. I've left the 9-pin connector undisturbed so far, but eventually I'll have to open it up. I like PB blaster a lot. It's good for cutting through corrosion, but I try to keep it away from plastics when possible since the solvent in it is a little aggressive. I had a problem where my headlight switch was almost impossible to move because the internal contacts were crudded up. I shot some electrical contact cleaner (relay and contact cleaner) into it, and then followed it up with some DeoxIT D5. The DeoxIT is expensive, but very effective. I start out by flushing it with cheaper stuff, though, and then using DeoxIT to work on the rest. It took a few applications to get the switch freed up and stay that way. When I get to the 9-pin connector, I'll probably use just the DeoxIT -- the connector's cleaner to start, and I'll want the best corrosion-busting behavior without risking it attacking the old plastic connector. ...And I plan to have plenty of replacement connectors or a good automotive multi-connector ready to replace the old one.

Me too... I've got dibs on him this afternoon.

Thanks Richard for great start of the show. Looking forward to see more.

Longest day picture update... Potatoes nearest the camera, then sunflowers, sweet corn, a gap for winter greens, then butternut squash. The other side of the wind break are beans, onions and garlic. I'll update with another pic in a few weeks.

Dave, I'm a Newbie on this site, I'm Fred Siegfried, 57 in New Cumberland, Pa, South of you by 5 or so hours, By the way all these Fellows type, Your a Wheel Horse Guru, by myself joining this site i hope to pass on knowledge that i gain from Men like You & all you others. I'm sorry you can't make The Big Show, I'm Positive all your Friends From Red Square have a lump in their throats, i sure do 1 I pass my strength to you my Friend ! God Bless America !

Notice...Steve's not smiling.

I'm a big fan of the old Wagoneers, Jeep pickups and the CJ's. I've owned 3 Cherokee Sports that were all great and my wife had a 2013 Wrangler. My every day is a 2002 Grand Cherokee that I've owned for over 10 yrs (a record for me) that has been a great vehicle. I bought it with 40,000 miles, it now has 200,000. it still looks good and I'd drive it anywhere. I've only had to do regular maintenance on it. Pretty hard too kill the 4.0 6 cylinder. I'm thinking of semi retiring my Grand Cherokee so my son Cole can have it to drive next year. I think I'll look for a low mileage Grand Cherokee, I know any quirks they have and you can find them reasonably priced.
