@OutdoorEnvy thank you! I'm hoping so to they all seemed to like my other wheel horses so I thought I should do 1 up for them! Plus hard to use my 314 for work when always being drivin around haha. I'm just hoping I don't forget where we parked it. :laughing-rolling:

Somehow I don't see that being a serious issue

Nope - MP3 is so old school… it’s Bluetooth capable and a mobile hot spot… :handgestures-thumbupright:

I couldn't figure out how to hook up a MP3 to my flip phone so I continue to use my Victrola for music.

Very nice! One of my pleasures is cutting and stacking firewood. I get satisfaction from it!

I enjoy the tree felling. The sectioning up. (Chainsaw work).  Moving the splitter from one tree felled area to the next. Trina and her Mom do all the splitting and stacking. 

Pulling the loaded trailer up out the forest. 

Now I've got the Mackissic chipper I'm finding that to be quite entertaining as well.  

Something very nice about turning a 5 foot tall pile o brush to a 1 foot tall area of chips.

I have no idea where to put this disgusting pic so might as well go here. Snapped this on the way up nort to the cabin last Friday.  Can you imagine the nerve of a guy making a horse share a trailer with a deer!!! :blink::rolleyes:

Unloaded my new toy this afternoon.  A little more than 200 miles round trip and :ph34r: over state lines.

Thanks!  Yes, it’s old Ford Model A / V8 stuff.  These lever steers were the first 50 tractors that Cecil and Elmer Pond built as independent business men.  The Pond tractor legacy is what we all know as Wheel Horse today.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

Hot spot?  I imagine it’ll draw a crowd.  Mobile?  Give me another day... :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

took half another day...  these snapshots of my video recording show the excitement of the fruit of my labor.  I can’t tell how many pulls I yanked on that rope in 30 hours, but it was a lot!

@pullstart what an awesome find for your collection. I watched the YouTube vid this morning. So did they only make 50 of these?  Was there anything made in between the lever steer and the Senior?

They began making two wheeled (walk behind) tractors in 1948, along with the Seniors.  This information is from “Straight from the Horse’s Mouth” by Michael A. Martino, Jr.

I have the book but always skipped right to the info on mid 60’s and on.  The more I see and read on here and YouTube the more I’m intrigued. Thank you

I think it would be great if Cecil could see one more testament to his work- from all those years ago. As simple as the design is, it still says quite a bit about what the Ponds built, and just how much quality was built into these machines!

 

You certainly will not find a smart phone or likely even automobile that will so easily spring back to life 70 years from now!
