Is it okay if I use a variation of your tractor name?  I'm the proud owner of what I'm calling "Frankenhorse"

Yeah, go right ahead. Yours is just as much of a Frankenstein as mine is.

I've never named any of mine, but if I did they'd be somewhere along the lines of "Igor, Quasimoto, and Bugaboo"... :rolleyes:

Besides the C-141 I haven’t named any of the others I have.  I figured I’d name the C-141 Frankenstein as it’s at least 3 different tractors so the name fits. The C-85 I bought at the M&G may end up being Igor or something like that as it’ll more than likely be a mix too.

Actually Frankenstein was the Docters name that stitched together the monster from different bodies. Frankenstein's Monster was the one that was stitched up from different bodies....:ychain:

Absolutely agreed. 

Luckily for me the BBT is even more adamant about it than I am. 

 

We still have one more metal frame too. I believe it's a 12 x 20 or so. 

I'd like to add a knee high base below that one and use it for the camper.

Favorite horse in my herd. You're gonna love it (once you're done hating it)!

Your proctologist would love it too, it might be best to turn around and sit on the seat as intended.  :eek:

Turning over my Wheel Horse Snowplow wear bar.  Painting bar and plow for winter!   Putting plow on my B-80 tractor.

It appears like the wear bar was flipped before, you may not gain much.

yep. lynnmor ! Not much left on other side but i should get two years more with this wear bar.  I still have a new old stock wear bar for the future!    
 

I think i turned this around a couple years after i bought it .   Been using at least  14 years!

Definitely, mine are all under cover. Doing general maintenance and fixing the garaged ones up to be used is significantly easier. Up here in the rust belt outdoors isn’t a good option if you want your stuff to last.

I'm almost ready to reinstall the sheet metal and other accessories on my New Holland GT18.

 

I gave it a few degreaser-rinse cycles a few days ago and got it pretty clean. I was pleased to see that there was very little rust, and I touched that up as well as I could without more disassembly. Before finishing the reassembly, I still have to route new wires to connect the taillight upgrade, adjust the traction control position, lube all the fittings, install new foam rubber where I removed what was left of the old foam rubber that secured the fuel tank, and finish cleaning up the instrument panel.

However, that may have to wait a few days, since I'm getting ready to pull our floating dock out of the water for the winter, which is always a pretty good sized job, due to its location and design (cross-braced, long stiff-arm system). It always takes me a couple of days of prep work, and then I need to get a few of my neighbors together to help with it. Also dealing with some kitchen upgrades and a few other little projects.

I was remembering a set of plow side plates yesterday. 

Mebbe I'll get time to install them this year.
