Geno 1,928 #26 Posted October 22, 2014 thanks, I want to stick it under the hood of the tractor to keep the squirrels from making a nest. It should do the trick. And no one even commented on the fact that if Geno won the lottery ... with which he could build anything ... he would choose to buy an abandoned walmart. I don't have time to wait for someone to build a 100,000 sq ft building. I would have a lot of Horses to go get! I think the FIRST thing Geno needs to do before he buys that Walmart (if he hits it big) is he needs a bigger trailer, that one is dinky considering the size of your hauls.. Just think, if you had a bigger trailer maybe you would make it into Wheel Horse rich CT before it got stuffed. Maybe Walmart will toss in a semi truck and 48, no better hope it's a 52 ft trailer... Brandon I was wondering that myself, are there even abandoned Walmarts out there? I think he'll need an abandoned air craft hangar or maybe a shopping mall myself! Who would need a trailer when you have a shiny new Kenworth with a 52" trailer? Shopping Mall, yeah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
km3h 543 #27 Posted October 22, 2014 One thing I can guarantee you is that if you call Geno and tell him you have ten Wheel Horses with attachments, and you live in Nome Alaska, he will find a way to get there and stack them on that trailer, harming nothing, even in the dead of winter, during the worst blizzard, in the last 100 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kudzu3 323 #28 Posted October 22, 2014 It should be illegal for a man to have that much fun! Nice haul Gene, I like the four wheel trailer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #29 Posted October 22, 2014 Brandon I was wondering that myself, are there even abandoned Walmarts out there? Ken...yep, they're out there. Here's one where I grew up.... and this was the second one that they built when I was a kid.... The first one they abandoned for this one became a Big R. This one got abandoned when they upgraded to the new Super Wal-Mart you see in the background on the right side of the pic! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #30 Posted October 22, 2014 Geno.... I'd imagine your one of very few snowmobile owners in KY.... and that's probably about the only Wheel Horse snowmobile there!..... you know they only made 9 models.... and you got those nice shelves now..... just saying.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nappypappy 98 #31 Posted October 22, 2014 Yeah you don't see many snowmobiles here and a Wheelhorse one would be my first....I have seen a few here but never a wheelhorse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

km3h 543 #42 Posted October 23, 2014 Now I can see Geno traveling across the country buying all the old Wheel Horse Signs and hanging them all over his shop and a nice big one over the fireplace in his living room. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #43 Posted October 23, 2014 Big one over the fireplace would look good in the living room. There's a big screen up there now but there's nothing to watch on it anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,043 #47 Posted October 23, 2014 That's pretty sad Brandon. Yes... yes I know... I have a wife, a 1.5yr old and one on the way... So my limited time and money prevent most exploits... Not to mention my wifes thoughts on more than one tractor... (Actually shes been surprisingly tolerant of it so long as I don't spend big $$$.) Thats why this forum exists! I can watch you (and others) spend the money doing what I someday hope to do some of. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
