dunk50 6 #1 Posted April 14, 2011 First you need to understand that the miles get longer as you get older. Got up earlier than normal yesterday had a cup of coffee and hit the road. South Bend to Traverse City 250+ miles. Stopped for fuel once and drove drove drove. Pulled into Chris's (munsonRN) housing area and saw the 417-A Shook hands, said Hi to his wife, said sooeee this is it. Looked at it for about 15 seconds and handed him an envelope with the money. Dropped the tailgate on the trailer and drove the tractor on. Told him I really wanted to get home and thanks a lot and off I went. Doubt I was there 10 minutes. Total of 8 hours round trip with 75 MPH near non stop driving. Must confess at one point I pulled over in a desolate wooded area to get rid of that cup of coffee I mentioned earlier. This tractor has had photos posted of it twice so I am just going to post a link. Over the summer I will do some work on it and pictures will follow. Thanks Chris http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?...topic=27256&hl= http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/index.php?showtopic=9802&hl= Now for Mentone Saturday!!!!!

dunk50 6 #8 Posted April 15, 2011 This tractor is in for an easy life. Almost retired like me. I will get it back to GREAT condition and then use it minimally. Blowing some snow and maybe pulling a small trailer once in a while. That's about it. I am liking it even with the list of fixes I need to make. ! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
