Riley088 63 #1 Posted August 17, 2011 Wheel Horse C 161 that I recently picked up. It was stored in a barn for over 30 years. It was hardly used. Still has the nubs on the tires. When I got it home I gave it a good cleaning and hit it with some wax and this is how it came out. Runs great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,934 #2 Posted August 17, 2011 Wow. What a great find. It looks like new. How about uploading some larger pictures (640 x 480) so we can admire the details. Kind of hard to see those little ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,934 #10 Posted August 17, 2011 I would love to upload larger photos. This was the first time I posted pictures. I used flicker. How would I go about and make the photos larger. Thanks I'm not familiar with Flicker, but the pictures appear full size when you click on the link. Maybe there is someone here that uses Flicker and can help you. If you were using Photobucket, I'd be able to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,059 #20 Posted August 19, 2011 Very nice and very clean !! I hope you use it only on Sundays....
