This is only pic I took of pushing snow. Lost my son on 1-26-26 and just now getting back to some sort of normalcy. Appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for me and my family. Im pretty sure @cafoose meet him when he brought me back a tub cart from Big Show and we picked it up at his place when he got back with it. Hope everyone is doing well. Mods if this is inappropriate post in any way feel free to delete/move if need be.

I can as I lost a daughter and the old saying time heals all wounds was made up by someone who has never lost like this. Speaking from experience there are ways to ease the loss. If it helps you can hang on us. Thoughts and prayers Squirrely.

Sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine it in any way.

Just spoke with Richard last night, he's in rehab to get his strength back and on his feet, may be a week, maybe more, depends on how hard he wants to go after it. He thought he might be posting within a couple of days. He sounds good and is in good spirits. so please continue to keep him in mind.

Found a gallon of reducer and enough hardener in my double secret stash. Sometimes it pays to be a hoarder.

That was my problem with the clear. I try to forget the number of red finishes I destroyed trying to clear coat it per the manufacturers destructions. Ignore those and do it Mikes way. I'm sure the durability isn't up to using hardener but I can't help but believe it's better than without the clear. I with I would have had the courage to try it when I did my 400. It's being pampered sitting on display in a three season front porch on SR 331 so I guess it really doesn't matter now.

Very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I know exactly what your going through. I lost my son on 12/17/23 at age 27. He left a wife and 2 kids under age 3. The past few years have had their rough moments, but time will dull the pain some. I see my son in my 2 grand kids every week. I know it's hard, but hang in there. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Jim That was very nice gesture on your part. Sgrlgtr I can’t even imagine how that must feel.. You are good people. Stay strong.

Was not aware of this.From our Hearts to yours and family, God bless. We have had the same happen here. Step son passed 3 years ago at 31. Patti is at the Cemetery every Saturday morning for a visit except Winter time as the Town does not plow it. Take care my friend.

Showing your age Plunge ... The only clear I had any luck with is this. Thought it would turn ugly like a car rim. I have a Onan screen to a paint maybe I'll play with some clear. The thing with the paint that Dan uses it has a amazing gloss right out of the gun. The thing I notice with the Van acrylic is the first coat doesn't gloss but then hit it again and it just pops. Note the 30 Minute recoat on the can. I'm done with the RO in regal. Tired of tossing a half a can caused it plugged up. Not that I don't like the shade of red it produces but it just doesn't pop like other stuff. Apparently with out clear anyway. This is the stuff Dan uses except out of a gun. I really love it. Unfortunately they quit making it in acrylic now just a strait enamel.

Never had that issue. I think the Rusty Cans pic up some negative vibes from you. Maybe be a little bit nicer too them! Next time you come to the show bring a couple of small parts to paint and some Rusty Regal and some clear. You paint one and I'll paint one. See what happens. Craig has a personal page with nothing on it. Here is the picture group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1504576093451185

My deepest sympathy. January was a tough month. Prayers for all.

I just read this and became aware. I dont have fitting words. But I do offer prayers for all. Condolences.

i was also unaware. please accept my condolences

Most likely wrong rims but yes might be replaced spindles. Might be some very thin shims but nothing considered spacers. Measure the length of the spindle then we'll know if the spindles or the rims are correct. If it doesn't matter for a correct assembly ... yep get some spacers.

Rim widths did change alot over the years and spindle lengths with them. I've used spacers up front on several machines to make up the distance. I don't think Wheel Horse ever used them but they do come in handy if your wheels need replaced. TSC carries packs of 3/4 machine washers that work well for smaller gaps, and 3/4 collar locks work well for larger ones.

So sorry for your loss, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. If there's anything I can do to help let me know

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

So sorry to learn of your loss. My condolences to you and your loved ones.

A terrible thing you have my deepest sympathy

Very sorry for your loss. God bless.

I was also unaware. My family will be praying for yours. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss. Nobody should have to go through that.

Thoughts and prayers for your son, you and your family.

So sorry to hear of your loss. God bless.

Might be a good time to sell my air conditioners.

Back in 2016 (?) Trina and I traveled to the Midwest to visit an old friend of hers. We flew to Minn/St. Paul and she drove to Mandan ND. Having both been born n raised in New England we were FLABBERGASTED by the lack of rocks out there. Every several hundred feet there would be a pile. Some that would fit in a pickup truck. Most a little larger. The biggest pile we saw was about half the size of our ranch style house. And that was HUGE to them.

I was surprised to find that the spindle on later tractors, in this case a Raider 9 or a 1976 B/C series, are shorter than an 854. You can see the shaft collar that I used on my 854.

Any loss in your clan is devastating. A parent should never have to go through that. So sorry for your beloved loss. Thoughts and prayers my wheel horse brother. Stay strong and live your best life in his honor. All my best!

So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Plowing snow, wicked cold, other family vehicles breaking down, things have been a slow process. The transmission is in, along with the transfercase, and I’m working through the challenges of a custom cooler.

Though that way too, but with the millions of live stream public cameras, just think it is a bit of false concern. Now I could see if someone had done something of less and facial rec would pic them up. I always joke when them folks put a profile pic on and use their dog. Could be just plain not that attractive IDK LOL

No he really doesn't ... think he's addicted that stupid FB now. Maybe we should round up a posse and go after him ... bring him back from the dark side. Used to be we couldn't get rid of him. He started a page/group or whatever there called cool wheel horse pics. I'm still ticked off at him he wouldn't part with those nice HLs he had on a pull start tractor with no battery at he BS.

Prefer you did pick what little is left. Like to see a bro go off half a$$ed educated than none at all...

I just bought a Kohler replacement pump for my 314-8 in case it was bad. It was only $50. Came with a few different gaskets and a big snap ring. Didn’t end up needing it, but I’ll keep it in the cabinet because it will be needed at some point.

I like that its Ed's fault for selling Bervac & not my fault for buying it!! 😆

My 98 Saturn is parked right out side the garage door. Maybe I should move it? Hate to get over spray on that classic machine/work beater/chick magnet.

I can spray paint outside in the summer on a calm day. Park my truck 5 blocks away upwind and still have red paint on the clay bar when I detail it!

Spent some quality time with my spray gun today. It has been almost a year since we've been together. Sheet metal all received a generous build up of urethane primer. Seat and rims are now blanketed in IH Off White.

Interesting…they just scrambled up the letters in KOHLER and settled on REHLKO?

Spending a cold, dreary Saturday at the office:

I coulda used one to find my leaky artery last month. Probably save enough to buy 50 tractors.

with one of those I could do my own colonoscope well, maybe not!

Ok, went out today to get in a couple of sled runs before it warms up next week. Braved the biting cold to make a video to prove it! This run was from midway down the hill since I needed one hand for the camera and runs from the top are so fast I need both hands to hold onto the sled! IMG_7093.mov

A 1 hour walk, a 30 minute nap, then made the Swedish(venison) Meatballs for the Christmas Eve gang. They'll be in the freezer till Christmas Eve morning, then go in the crock pot with the grape jelly, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

Well the tractor is a 657…but the motor is a Kohler 8. She’s still nice and thrifty though
