Trina's family has had an annual apple pickin day for decades. Yesterday we met at Ricker Hill Farm in Turner Maine. All the best tourist trap stuff you can find there. The apple cider donuts were still warm.

Hello Horse fans. We've all had a chance to get something cheap enough for no reason so, why not. And people say $50 don't buy much. However, it does buy a C120 sitting for 15 years. New battery and fuel line was all it took. Will get a bath and better pictures tomorrow!

You telling me to building something that uses them Joe?!?!? Usually pretty good but yes call ahead and tell the Squonky working there to go lay hands on on them before I turn the key for nothing ... even then..

So, do I get extra credit for finishing early? LMAO 🤣. Had the service truck so I used the torch to heat nuts, pipe expander to save downpipe and muffler.....

Wife just told me "It hurts to sit" I immediately asked if she had tried a laxative. I am now getting the death stare.

Today was largely spent working on the trailer. The whip to connect to the vehicle got damaged and I had to replace that, along with a damaged light. I had to run all over for supplies, the wire set I got appears to have had the wires installed in incorrect positions, so there was some figuring to do, and I am still not thinking as clearly as usual. I did grab new deck belts for both of the Rm-326 decks while I was out, and we coated the underside of the one that was repaired this summer with some POR-15 I had left over from another project. I would have liked to do two full coats, but only had enough for one.

If I were going I would take a garden tractor and a trailer. The grounds are huge and the flea market takes up about half of it. Here are a couple pictures of the trailer I took there a few years ago.

See quite a few of those "radiators" at our steam pageant.

I want to thank you in front for trying to save my back !! Each one of your revolutions is two (maybe 3) that do not need me !! Thanks Tom !! That does look incredable Mate.

Soooooooooooo...... How do you blow an engine put puttin around at a tractor show?

The last few years there has been this round hood WH “sliced in two” sitting in a huge shed. It has finally been displayed the way it should be!

Huge crowd! Perfect weather (no rain, wind or humidity). Only casualty was my son Brads Magnum 8 let go and his day was over. Well actually he just transferred his butt over to one of my rigs . Currently his Mag8 has zero compression. No hole thru the block though. That’ll be a winter project. Bought nothing other than a 6 gallon fuel jug with the old school nozzle that actually pours. Best part was just hanging with the WH crew. @wallfish @Retired Wrencher @VinsRJ @Handy Don @Chris T @grnlark @whtractors24 and a few others that aren’t membsrs here (bizarrre right!)

This is what we have done so far. I’m currently trying to build a weight system for the entire tractor.

Early morning with the Hotsy. Big believer in Citri Blast and Cascade. I did get everything cleaned and I think it's a good candidate for a repaint. No dents or holes. Surface rust isn't bad but, I do like the wet look. LoL 🤣. Also, I did get the original rear tires with it and do hold air, no cracking. I can see myself adding more C series to the collection. Show more pictures later! Enjoy your morning Horse fans! 🌞 Apologies for the hazy photos but I had my washer set at 280°. Can't stand greasy build up!

Look up a bit of information on anything on a "SMART PHONE" and for the next week you get ads for that product. That is why I like my old-fashioned phone.

Mowing season will be over soon .. got in done seat time on the 414/8 with a 42” RD today.

The difference between a 7HP Kohler & a 7 HP Tecumseh...... You torque the mounting fasteners on the Kohler. You use wingnuts on the Tecky - hand tight - makes it easier to replace later.

So the feature is “non-running Teccy tractors”?

Thank you Karl for giving the Euro section of other Brands , I will kick this off with my little collection of Trojan Toraktors Built in the early 60`s by Trojan motors . Thes tiny tractors are actually smaller than an Wheelhorse RJ 58 The have the Clinton 1290 engine. The story goes that Trojan bought a large amount of Clinton engine for a project that fell through & they were left with all these engines with nothing to do with them , so they came up with the idea of using the engines for a garden tractor & so the Trojan Toraktor was born .. They only ever made 500 of these tractors & theere were only 4 series of them ever made The MK 4 series was the most raest as they stop production of them during the making of the series 4 and so only a handful were ever built .

So I sent them these pics pretty much says it all right? Quite clear the pullies are for 4L belts right? Be interesting to see what their response will be.
