Kingwood990 16 #1 Posted February 25, 2012 I spent about 3 hours today cleaning and detailing my pride and joy. I hate to say it but I think I like the tractor more than my girl friend (I hope she doesn't see that). Any how I cleaned it up to get ready for the spring. I still need to change the oil and grease her but she is ready to go. For some reason I think I spend more time cleaning and detailing than I do riding. Is it worth it? Yes. I also took the time to armor-all each tread on the tires. Any how here is the pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kingwood990 16 #5 Posted February 25, 2012 Looks good. If it were mine I would reverse the rear rims. The offset and stance will be wider. Me too! I have thought about reversing the rims but I think the tires would rub the rear guide wheels. On the right side there is about an inch of clearance between the guide wheel and the rear tire. I might get a set of spacers to run on the tractor when I am not using the deck. The only time I use this tractor is in the field which is flat. I use the John Deere for the steep stuff. still a good looking tractor matt ,looking forward to seeing you april 28. there is a sears custom 7 here with your name on it! Thanks Jay. I should be bringing this on the 28th. If you will help me build a shed I will take that custom 7 off of your hands. :eusa-think: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well about 3 hours after I took these pictures we had a strong line of thunderstorms move through the area. There was some tornadoes to the north west of us. I think I would take snow over tornadoes.

I wanna cut some grass with that thing:) It should be full of gas when you come over. If not the store is just up the road. Just don't get mad when I lap you on the Deere, that thing is fast.

HAHA, good one Matt, lap me 2times on the Deere if you want to, as one thing I've learned over the years regarding WheelHorses is this. Driving and working with a WheelHorse vs. something newer and faster is alot like riding a Harley davidson motorcycle vs. soomething more technically advanced and faster. Riding a Harley gives you alot of inner enjoyment that can't be had with anything else. Its the same to me with a WheelHorse. I have a John Deere too, but I always come back to the WheelHorse.

When I finish with the Deere I just don't get the same feeling. Wait till I get the Homelite finished. Mowing with that thing now that will be a great journey.
