My '70s c-series battery boxes never hold batteries well and I've had it on my list to go by a truck repair place for some mud flaps to rip down for filler strips. Wood blocks just annoy me for some reason. I saw a comment recently by @ebinmaine that got me to thinking. I think it was about felt pads so I went to the garage and knew I had these expansion joints for concrete. I'm going to rip some down and think they'll work well. Anyone else have a good solution?

Fellow approached me at the Steam Pageant. Said he has a B-80 sitting in a barn that needs a home. Hadn't used it in years Well it's crusty, dusty and poopy. Shot tires but I have spares in the parts dept. Can't believe the seat is nice! Gonna get that off and hit the tractor with Dawn Power Wash and let it get rained on. Got to de- mouse the engine before going inside. Center spindle on deck needs work but the shell looks solid!

Nice find! My 1977 B-80/8 speed is one of my favorite tractors

Back in June, I had my C-141 Automatic out for sale in our yard sell. I had all of them setting out to attract more attention. A man and his son were looking at my tractors and the son (looked to be about 8-10 years old) started going nuts over them and begged his dad to get him one. They asked me which one would be best suited, and I recommended the C-141. Solid running with no issues. I let them drive it around the yard and they agreed to buy it. Yesterday, when I grabbed our mail, there was one envelope with nothing but "Mr. Doug" handwritten on the front. Below is the letter that was inside. We just finished loading the snow thrower in their pickup. I let him have it for $50 and gave him some tips on how to attach and detach it, along with a printed operator's manual and parts listing. Pretty cool to see a kid so enthused about his Wheel Horse.

Not to give Pullstart any ideas but ...

Taking 4 flights tomorrow to get to the other side of the world. The longest trip I’ve ever taken, one flight is 16 hours in the air. And this came in the mail today, great timing! Some good reading material! Wish it had a WH on the cover but that’s fine.

You should take your picture of you and that magazine on the other side of the world and send it to them 👍🏻

Learning to drive before power steering on a very heavy vehicle, an early lesson was to be rolling before trying to turn! I still have that habit and I cringe (silently, of course) when my spouse cranks the wheel while standing still!

Did you hear the one about the non-binary gold prospector? They dug a fortune out of them/their hills.

Today after a surprisingly short shift at work, I volunteered to mow my parent's lawn as after talking to my mother we thought it needed a trim. My father has been working with my brothers and was short on time. My youngest brother has also been short on time as it's also the busy season for him at work. I mowed where i could reach with the tractor and did some weed wacking for him as he's one of the first people to assist me with something if needed. The 312 and the new PTO belt got a good workout today.

What type of horses only go out at night? Nightmares!

Anything I get is tarped on the trailer and a bug bomb set off under it before going into my shop. Don't want critters coming in.

Matched set

Dozer blade frame was going to be my first choice but I didn't have a spare. I think what you've got will handle considerably more weight

What is a horse's favorite sport? Stable tennis!

First clean up. Waiting for the rain for the 2nd go round.

For some reason I only have a few facing from the rear. All good.

They are great little tractors!

Sounds like something that would "fall off" when I rebuild a wiring harness.
