dcrage 621 #1 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I guess we cannot post replies to photo gallery postings so I am posting here Just saw we have a Russian Wheel Horse member -- There are new pictures in 'Horses at Work' in the Photo Gallery -- Would love to know how that tractor got to northern Russia -- Maybe thru some of our Scandinavian owners? Just noticed his "custom tail pipes" on his muffler Edited May 11, 2016 by dcrage 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Igor motoria 60 #4 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Good day. The tractor was purchased on Ebay , in New Jersey. my friend took it and sent by sea to Leningrad (St. Petersburg ) . I was there and it was taken away and home. Custom made exhaust from an old washing machine made front axles and hubs for the wheels 25 inch ATV , make snow plow . It is like a tractor to me , I go into the woods for mushrooms and berries , for the trees (later I will make photos and videos ) . Now I'm doing a front axle with hydraulic motors . And very want to lock the rear axle. Edited May 11, 2016 by Igor motoria 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ztnoo 2,298 #14 Posted May 11, 2016 The old USSR flag is no longer in use. The flag of Russia is a tricolor flag consisting of three equal horizontal fields: white on the top, blue in the middle and red on the bottom. The flag was first used as an ensign for Russian merchant ships and became official as the flag of the Tsardom of Russia in 1696. It remained in use until the establishment of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic in 1917. It was re-introduced as the flag of the Russian Federation in 1991. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorHfuhruhurr 132 #23 Posted May 13, 2016 May I ask what you paid to have it shipped to you? I would imagine that would be fairly pricey(but worth it). Welcome! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
