Amcwheel85 2,058 #1 Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Well I keep telling myself I'm not buying anymore as I'm trying to get ready to move hopefully in July... Well I found one I'm dying to have... Soo... I sweet talked my wife(even tho she did tell me when I found a good deal of a nice horse I could buy it) so that is my plan for tomorrow after I get my new wheels n tires mounted on my truck, I'm headed over 2 hours away to look at and hopefully buy another red horse.. Can't wait! Will post pics tomorrow!!! O me and my son got the ranger out yesterday after the lawn got mowed.. Then later me and my daughter took all the wheels off my wife's A-81 to scrub them up for Mother's Day present! It's a family hobby around my house!

dells68 7,494 #6 Posted May 8, 2016 I completely understand the addiction. I've got it bad too! I love the pics of your daughter and her mom's horse. I think that's why I love this hobby - Emory and I can do it together! Keep 'n around! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amcwheel85 2,058 #8 Posted May 8, 2016 Dells I try to get my kids doing something with the horses as much as possible! Glad to hear I'm not the only getting the younger gen enjoying the horses! And thanks Craig it was her idea to work on the horses as it was just me and her home together.. She loves it and always tells me she does! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,510 #9 Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I don't know what it is , but whenever a child see's one of my little horses , there eyes light up , a big smile , then the question can I set on it . Oh wait that's me . But seriously I think it's one of my favorite parts of owning these . Edited May 8, 2016 by ACman 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,054 #20 Posted May 10, 2016 Well I know what the next project will be "Bigger Barn" to shelter more of the growing herd. It looks in nice shape. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amcwheel85 2,058 #21 Posted May 10, 2016 Yea PO "restored it" and did an good job but not perfect. I seen pics of it before and it was nice even then. I bought a "stock" style muffler on the way home for it. I got a set of "I believe are 50lb" wheel weights but I'm prolly gonna sell those.. Also old decals and the first "straight from the horses mouth" book from him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #22 Posted May 10, 2016 Now, I'm not going to worry about my new addiction. You've got it as bad as I do! Nice machine! Very few where I live, so prices tend to be a little steep. I've got the rat rod hair with plans for a 551 I'm picking up from Limited12 at the big show. At least these are less expensive than the farm tractors a lot of friends collect - so far I've only got 1 Ford 8n! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amcwheel85 2,058 #23 Posted May 10, 2016 Yea I have to stop now until I can buy a house down south.... The first tractor I bought myself was a Allis chalmers WD and I loved it but only having 2 acres and no place to work on it I started looking into these old garden tractors and they are more fun plus a lot easier in every way! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
