Pullstart 59,736 #1 Posted March 18 Like the Suburban 400 I hung up a while back, my RJ35 has a mostly permanent home in the shop now! 3 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,736 #2 Posted March 18 I built a 1/4” thick bracket and used 6” nail spikes to attach it to the corner post in the shop. A 2” square tube hinged on a 3/8” bolt and I simply slid the tractor into place and built a jack post while it was in position. 3 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 8,852 #5 Posted March 18 Ill give you credit for a creative display! But it just doesn't seem right, so I gave it a emoji. At least he didn't use a hangman's knot! Poor tractors To each his own! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were in the back, in cold storage. This will keep them away from mice, keep them in the warmer shop, and be appreciated rather than ignored. Like I mentioned in the video, the RJ35 is quite slow and slightly impractical. It is however a wonderful piece of history and a crucial part of Wheel Horse’s legacy. I’ve brought it on the show circuit. Though I don’t mind those who do, I prefer to mix up my show tractors. It’s not worth putting cash in my pocket, but it’s better than a dark barn. At the end of the day, it makes me happy 8 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,611 #9 Posted March 18 Get an iside bet with myself how long it takes until another Tractor was „ learning to Fly“... is this the new storage system for cleanout the Shop? or was it a loosing bet like - one tractor must leave ... ok gimme 24h and it will not touch our Ground? i have questions.... but it looks Cool. At least it is much better than selling or dump. 👍 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,644 #15 Posted March 18 How about this idea, I am sure from time to time good used Ferris wheels come up for sale. You know the small ones used in carnivals. Could one be put in the shop and have tractor replace the seats and them rotating on display. Like an oversize wiener cooker. Those small Ferris wheels fold up for transport like a trailer and it could be towed to the show to display all the horses. Yes, you can call me super genius! 1 1 1 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blasterdad 2,564 #18 Posted March 18 I love it, the sign next to it is a nice touch . You mentioned getting your shop the way you want it when you "grow up". Personally I've been refusing to do so for almost 60 years. My shop is my fortress of solitude & it has to be functional & FUN I probably could've restored another with the time & money I've spent organizing & decorating it. I don't think I'll hang a Horse but I do have a SpeedEx I'm tired of shuffeling around, hmmmm.... I'll have to seasonally decorate it of course, skeleton for halloween, Santa for Christmas, ect... 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,736 #24 Posted March 19 You guys send riders, I’ll put ‘em up there. I think I’ve mentioned this before. No bill collector is knocking on my door. Taxes are paid. Tractors make me happy. So do Rat Fink things. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
