Hello everyone,

My name is Larry and my user name is hummod. I am from Sayre, PA and have visited this forum in the past and thought it was time to join.

I have owned a Wheel Horse tractor for three years, a 414 Hydro (imagine that)

and have started buying a few more since last summer as a hobby. I am up to

five now with two donor tractors making seven total. I also have seven decks,

three front snow/dirt blades, and one snow blower. My main interest is in the

300,400,500 series but I hope to get at least one older one sometime in the future.

I currently own a 414-8 that I converted back to an eight speed, a 312-8, a 416-8,

a 518h and a 520h. I hope to get to know everyone here and I do plan to go to the

Wheel Horse show for the first time this year. I hope to be able to use this forum as a resource for information as well as maybe add some of my experiences to the

mix. I do have a few questions but I will wait for another time out of the introductions section. Thanks for a great forum and a chance to participate in it.

Hi, Larry, and :whistle: ! Glad to have you with us!

I'm a 300-series enthusiast, so it will be nice to bounce ideas back and forth.

When you get a chance, :whistle: !

I wish I had some photos to share. I may have to wait until spring to get

them out of storage. The boat blocks them in the Garage except for the 518

that I use to clear the driveway. I am spending time now perfecting my

mig welding skills on rusted mower decks.

The boat is a Sea Ray that we bought new last year. It probably won't see the water until May. I hope to at least get it out of the way of the tractors before then.

None of these tractors are very photogenic right now but I do need some pre-

restoration shots.

Welcome Larry, glad that you found us. I don't think that I've seen a 414-Hydro, looking forward to the pictures.

I don't believe hat there ever was a 414h. A friend of mine wanted to make a 518-8 and bought a 414-8 as a transmission donor. He then put the hydro on the 414.

I have since converted it back to a 414-8. I still have the low hours 518 hydo taking up space in the garage.

I was a "lurker" too, :whistle: Took me a bit to get the hang of this. Now I have to learn another site.

After taking the pictures I noticed that they do look better than they

really are if you were up close. I notice the same thing when I look

at Craigs List or eBay photos. I have never walked away from ones

I have gone and looked at though. I refer to them as "Diamonds in

the rough".

I like your analogy of "Diamonds in the rough", guess i can classify mine as an "Old Chunk of Coal" :thumbs:
