Master machinist at his best

[wovennut 45]

Was looking at some new tractors and low and behold look at what I seen in this guys garage. Its one of the finest pieces of equipment I have ever seen. He built it in his spare time. He might have it at the garden show in Sugarcreek, Oh. May 14, 2011

Well buddy I hate to tell you this but about all the owner built on that tractor is some fancy aluminum treadplate....... :

[puddlejumper 67]

Bob looks like someone is taking credit for your work... Did you know the D you built and is in Myrons dads hands will be up for auction soon?

[whfan74 2,072]

It isn't going up for auction Gene, he is holding on to it. :hide:

WOW! that tractor is out of this world. I can't even imagine where you came up with the idea for building it. All I can say is, you sure have skills. :WRS:

[refracman 167]

Are you sure thats one of yours ?

Maybe ya could post a couple of pics of the others. :WRS:

Scott I got a sale flyer last weekend and it was on the list... Did they change their mind???

[sorekiwi 761]

Yep, it must be time for the artic-tractor show. Dont you have a pic of all 3 together somewhere? (cant find it now that I look...)

To All

a friend of mine posted this and i was with him when we went to Don's garage where we saw this and Don stated that he didnt build it only added a few things...just a little misunderstanding. Don does have quite a collection tho, we went up to trade a redone simplicity powermax for a couple wheel horses and was shocked when we saw the amount of tractors hes got!

[whlpny 203]

AASTONEJR-Thanks for the clarification on that. I hoped that I knew Don better and it was 3rd party rumor.

Hmm- I do have the picture of the 3 horses together I'll try and transfer it into photobucket.

I knew Myrons dad was having an auction, he told me he probably would keep the D-4x4- I can understand maybe the novelty has worn off though.

I don't think the WH forum is the proper place to post pics of the 2 "other breeds " that were built through this winter. But- if anyone wants to see them they will be for sale at the Portland Swap this coming week.Also they are in my facebook photo albums.

[whlpny 203]

Ok- success with moving a picture of the trio. This picture was taken at Kellys show last August. Its been suggested that I post a pic of the lastest 2 builds in the "other brand sections" I'll give it a whirl.

[horsefeathers 15]

Are we in Vegas? 'Caus that's a beautiful line up of show girls!

Don't know how you do it, but keep it goin'!

Luv the JD and Cub also!

HORSEFEATHERS!

Here is some more of Bob's work:

Here is a hint on a project he has in the works (they all go on one tractor)

Awesome Horses. Do they perform as good as they look? They sure look Good! Bob I have been thinking about building an articulator for a few months. Any insight you would be willing to share? I'm not asking for all of your secrets, just a couple. Pleeeaase? bill

[whfan74 2,072]

I stand corrected..........I just talked to him recently and he is selling the D 4x4 at the auction with a reserve. He isn't going to give it away but has recently retired so most of the collection is going to find a new home. You are right........he did have a change of mind. He isn't able to get it out and show it off like he would like.

By the way if I am not mistaken, it is Bob's first articulated. It is the one that started the madness and in my mind is a real piece of Wheel Horse history.

[whlpny 203]

Yup Scott is was the first one. I talked to Myron and Vernon at Portland. Sure would like to get down to the auction but work will dictate what happens there!

[AMC RULES 37,196]

Looks more like a master articulator. Mechanical artwork.
