My wife thinks I'm doing something questionable. I found both my "straight from the horses mouth" and they were perfectly fine as well. I also found all our documents safe and sound, and all the photo albums were dry and undamaged other than having a bit of smell of course. We have been very lucky all things considered.

Fallowing the thread I added above will allow the safety switches to remain actives with no major wiring changes. Looking at the battery 103990 switch next to the magneto switch 103991 I decided to see what would happen if a 103991 (Magneto) switch was placed in a Battery Ignition tractor. With the exception of a frustrated person wondering why nothin works the outcome would be rather harmless. In the OFF position the R and A terminals would be connected Ground, no big deal. In the RUN position the I, A and R terminals would be connected, nothing would happen but no harm would come of it. In the START position the S an I terminals would be connected, once again nothing would happen but no harm would come of it. On the other hand, if this situation were turned around and the 103990 (Battery Ignition) switch were placed in a Magneto tractor things get a bit more interesting and a whole lot more expensive. In the OFF position none of the terminals are connected and all is well. In the RUN position the B, R, A and M terminals are connected and magic smoke will be released from the Magneto. In the START position the B, A, S and M terminals will be connected and the engine will turn over but there will be no spark because the magneto already is toast.

I got a photo of the morning flag ceremony And I also got a photo of Kevin wrestling the block of ice cream

@squonk had a great idea, why not include a 20th anniversary RedSquare banner in the Big Show Raffle! One lucky person going home with a #3 of 3 20th anniversary RedSquare banner, will that be you?

I had one for 20-25 years before the move to Florida in 2000 when it was sold in the auction. After coming back up here in 2017 I started looking for another one. Finally, after running an ad, I found one less than 15 miles from here. A guy bought it in an auction and after realizing seeing that it was so rusted solid he must have figured it was unsavable. I didn't see it that way. Here's the thread. Sickle Bar Finally - Implements and Attachments - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum If ya need one you'll know. Mine runs at about a 45° angle about 90% of the time. I keep the briars that intrude on the paths out back clear. The Wheel Horse model doesn't angle down but a very few degrees. I've heard the Haban will go more but I can't verify.

My home caught fire this afternoon. No one was injured (one cat had some smoke inhalation) but the house is not habitable. Shockingly, my garage area and tractors was the only part that recieved no damage. The fire was in the attic, and only two rooms were badly burned. Unfortunately the rest of the damage came from putting it out. Ceilings were pulled down and tonight when I left, whatever wasn't torn down was falling from all the water required to put it out. Not sure what comes next but I ask that those of you who believe will keep my family in your prayers. It's gonna be tough for a while on us just having somewhere to call home. And thank God for first responders. They were on site 2 minutes after I called 911. Amazing individuals! And thanks ahead of time for the prayers. The fact that my family is safe is a blessing in itself!

Thank you very much. I think my daughter set something up but I have no idea what yet. But thank you so much for the thought. Greatly appreciated. We did find out today that they are approving a camper on site as opposed to putting us up somewhere else. This is a huge blessing because we will be at home instead of driving all over the place. Given we have so many critters to look after, this is awesome!

I saw this joke post on FB… ”I recently read that the average person owns 2 vehicles. I am 4 people” I have 3 1/2 tractors so by that logic, and that most people have 1 for mowing. I’m 3 1/2 people?😁 I think….

Well then, that explains my multiple personality disorder.

if you flip that hitch over, the hitch ball will probably ABOVE the axle centerline. Pulling something attached to a tractor above the drive axle centerline encourages the tractor to flip over backwards. Be very very careful if you use it this way. Leave the toung jack an inch or two above the ground - that will act as a wheelie bar to help prevent a back flip. The hitch I built for my 14-8 places the hitch ball above the axle. The front end gets really light, really quick. This is encouraging me to make a hitch to mount to the front of the tractor.

I've got a ditch on my Ky. property where a sickle mower that could angle down would be really handy - except for the rocks that are in the ditch.....

Finished and mounted receiver hitch today. Worked out great. Will flip hitch over and it will be just about perfect height for my trailers. . I had mentioned having angle iron turned differently then the one @76c12091520h Brian Badman sells but pretty sure either way will work with the hydro filter on the Eaton 1100 rear.

Glad no one was hurt. You'll be in hour-by-hour then day-by-day mode foe awhile. Does anyone here on Red Square know how to create a Go Fund Me Page?

They will work just fine ,only raises the front about 1" with 8" wheels. I have two 312-8 with 6" spindles and 8" wheels.

I get the need for speed when rains coming in. But I enjoy mowing and the seat time it gives me, so a slow WH is just fine with me.
