posifour11 723 #26 Posted May 17, 2018 I was Inspired by this thread. Mom came down to visit and go to the boy's graduation Friday. So, I put mom on a horse and took her through the woods. She had probably not been in the part of the property since she and dad lived here in the 70s. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,214 #28 Posted May 19, 2018 Well boys, this morning she walked right out to the Tractor and started it up and put the trailer on it and drove away like she thinks she owns it. And she didn't even ASK!! I believe this automatically gives me defacto proxy permission to buy another tractor. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,214 #35 Posted June 8, 2018 Well we had another new 'n fantastic development yesterday. I showed her a CL ad for a 1967 model something-or-other Wheel Horse. She likes that narrow Hood design. Now we're getting somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,462 #36 Posted June 8, 2018 I can see this snowballing way out of control - if you find a 1277 or similar she'll be hooked for life...lol. Not a bad thing, my wife thinks 1 is plenty or even too many - she's not totally aware I have 5 right now. Hope it stays that way. Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,214 #37 Posted June 8, 2018 Well as it stands right now I have two in my possession. The b80 you all know about and the c-160 you all know about. I am also working on getting a hold of another one. A bit of an unknown model, mutt, mix match type machine with the same Hood as my mid-to-late 70s stuff. She has to have one of her own, right? She was the one that admitted to liking that older Hood design. Not me I think that in my own somewhat disoriented mind this still gives me permission to get her a mid-to-late 60s tractor. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,494 #38 Posted June 9, 2018 All I can say Eric is that your honey is definitely a keeper! What more could you ask for? I mean she enjoys using your horse, gets it out herself, and helps out outside using it for what it was designed for. My wife sees the outside as my responsibility, only getting on a horse when Emory begs her to go for a ride with him. But she does tolerate this horse addiction Emory and I have and never says a word when we want another. Come to think of it she's a keeper too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
