wh5208speed 602 #1 Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Well, today was a blast to be a Dad. Little background. I have three kids, 10yr boy, 7yr girl, and 5yr girl. My girls have yet to get into tractors (other than enjoying riding in the trailer)....but my 10 yr old has been bitten bad..... by the Wheel Horse bug. He has been to 9 of 10 Wheel Horse shows since he has been born and just loves them. If any of you spend time at the teeter-totter.....you more than likely have seen him riding his tractors there, because he goes through at least a tank of gas at the show....just on the teeter-totter. My Dad started buying and restoring Wheel Horses with him over the last 4 years. Every year they would get 1-2 tractors and restore them. Now he is up to 7!! His dream tractors are 420-LSE and a 520-8. So....found a real nice 520-8 here on RedSquare that I got for his present. I got him a couple of other Wheel Horse presents that he got to open at our house this morning. Wheel Horse calendar, which featured my 314-H in the Snow for the month of January and the LED Wheel Horse light for his room. The LED Glass Etched light was posted on here the last few weeks from a member who had them made and I bought one.... and he really liked both of those presents. So, we went over to the grandparents house after lunch and everyone had opened their presents and I told him that he has a present outside....so this is were the video begins. 2 Stage Bervac 46 " Snowthrower and 520-8. The little smile that he tries to hide, just melts my heart. Here is the link to the video: So far today, he has over 1.5 hrs on it! Glad Grandpa buys the gas, Thad (Ohio) Edited December 26, 2014 by wh5208speed 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
