  Dethatched the yard today, first time I’ve even done it on this yard. 
  The 867 was awarded the job and performed flawlessly. 

Hmmm, what do you charge for about an acre ? And I KNOW for fact you have spreaders for some fertilizers too! 

See ya next weekend! LOL

(Gotta get all that crap done before the engine show season begins and it's creeping up on us!)

Yep! April 26 is the first one

Still got the Frosties in the ground here and when it gets warm too wet. I have managed to get about 30 lbs. of dog muffins off the back yard. Got a few hundred pine cones to move once conditions improve enough to get a tractor on the grass.

Spraying fences again today. Have to do this once every couple years. You can see the difference in front of the tractor vs behind...

Where at?

This was more of a Wheel Horse tractor accessory day. The old ATV tires that were on my trailer that I sometimes use behind my tractors needed some TLC. One tire had developed a leak, both needed valve stems and had pretty severe weather cracking. So I had some extra tractor tires which held air and some spare hubs so I swapped them. I may swap them back later but at least now I can move and use the trailer until I decide what I want to do.

I'm not even remotely familiar with the  (semi) local show scene. 

 

We've been going to a couple per year. 

Owl's Head Transportation Museum is very welcoming to all exhibitors for all shows. Normally we attend the Truck & Tractor show but we've been really enjoying the Air Show. 

 

This year we have a lot going on in the camping & hiking schedule and also MANY things happening at home. 

 

Only one tractor related show for us this year. 

 

@JCM Jim's event in September.

Pulled all three tractors out of their trailer today. Need to use the trailer for something else tomorrow, but also got the the Brinly mounted up to the 73 today and switched the AGs over to the 73 from the 77 for temp use.

Replaced the rubber hood latches on my 314.  Used a rivet tool I bot at Harbor Freight.  I put in the four rivets, and the Harbor Freight tool promptly broke.  Like it was supposed to.  Since I bot it that day, got my pesos back.  You can't take HF seriously.

Took a trip yesterday to about 45 minutes away and got four 8 inch cragar hubcaps to put on the tractors for only 30 bucks. Two of them are mounted on the 702 and the front tires are 17/9.50-8 Goodyears, I believe they are what used to come on the lawn rangers

[702854boy 572]

I also took a photo shoot with the three running Wheel Horses and something else thats pretty special

That is a nice snow shovel, most are plastic today.

I have to use a rope to start it temporarily, the s/g for it was off getting rebuilt and last night I tried putting the s/g from our new 854 that we haven't tried to get running yet but when it was running the regulator got pretty hot on the bottom so I just disconnected the s/g from the engine temporarily until the correct one for it makes its way back home and we can use it. I'm a little impatient so i didn't feel like waiting till Tuesday to drive it. Just need to make sure to watch the volt meter though so we don't kill the battery too much.

I will agree, it worked pretty good to shovel snow over the winter and it was lighter than a plastic one so I didn't hurt myself as much shoveling.

Ours is a 2 door Biscayne with a Blueprint 396 and 5 speed in it. 59's are one of the coolest looking cars there is

Got ambitious & hopeful that the snow is done. I'm sure I'm wrong but took plow off 654 & put on mower deck. Looked at yard, especially the front & decided to mow. Back yard was still wet & muddy in places. Right tie rod broke loose at ball/socket. Had to knock it back in a couple times w/hammer to get finished. Went thru my stash of junk & found a new set of the rods. Not a really pretty tractor but its been a really reliable worker, mowing, plowing, hauling trailers, etc.
