953 nut 51,000 #4 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I went to the Big Show with a '69 Charger 12 and three 48" decks, came home with another 953, tub cart, three Kohler twin cylinder engines, three 3 speed transmissions (for parts) a HD-42 snow blade, a LMR-30 front mount reel mower some tires, lots of cool stuff from @Vinylguy a couple of@BOB ELLISON seats for the 953s and a fist full of the collector cards Terry made up for us. The best thing I brought home was some great memories and a strong desire to attend in 2019! Edited June 25, 2018 by 953 nut 11 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB ELLISON 2,976 #6 Posted June 25, 2018 I brought home a lot of money. Sold 6 or 7 seats and had a really good time even in the rain. I got to see some old frends and meet some new ones. I love seeing the kids in the parade and Wild Bill is amazing with his knowledge of the wheel horses. I got to work with my frend @953 nut and see his ingenuity at work. I didn't bring home very much for my horse's But the memory's will last forever. 4 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interstate 81, came to a stop and I got out to check my tie downs and saw there was an exit to US-11 ( which I know runs parallel to I-81) so I hit the shoulder and made my way onto US-11, drove a few miles and got back on I-81, don't know what the hold up was but there wasn't much traffic behind me for several miles. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrblanke 840 #8 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I bought a set of wheels/tires for the 876, a bunch of filters, couple of mufflers, couple of axle seals, Some wheel horse swag, and some SWEET 876 dash and console decals from @Vinylguy I managed to not bring home a horse from the show, but as Van and I were eating dinner at Roy Rogers on our way home. We made the mistake of surfing craigslist.... I’ll make that post later haha Edited June 25, 2018 by Jrblanke 4 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 4,829 #10 Posted June 25, 2018 I can never make this show. But I have to say it sure sounds like a great place to be with a good bunch of Wheel Horse Enthusiast Enjoying this great hobby we have. It looks like it get`s better every year. I do look at all the pictures with thanks. May be some day? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12 hp Kohler 1,014 #13 Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I brought home this 8” wheel horse plow. I couldn’t pass it up for the price. I need to wear the paint off of the blade and mount the coulter yet. I also came home with two less tractors and LOTS of parts. Edited June 25, 2018 by 12 hp Kohler 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 8,943 #14 Posted June 25, 2018 @12 hp Kohler Keep on collecting those parts and have a big sale at the Big Show so you can buy a pickup when you turn 16. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,642 #16 Posted June 25, 2018 I bought a nice 42" rear discharge deck, a tall chute snow thrower, and a bunch of smalls like a generator light, an ammeter, a slot hitch, a few of Terry's decals, and what was left of a Commando once 953nut got the transmission. There's a few other things I can't think of right now. Had a great time and tried to meet more people at show. And what a wonderful mob of people they are. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 16,824 #17 Posted June 26, 2018 One of my favorite things I got at the show was this “Skittles” diecast GTO that @PeacemakerJack and @Coulter Caleb gave me. Kinda neat to put this with my big show treasures. One day when I have a mancave it will grace the shelves of things collected and will be a very special piece. Thanks guys! 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 58,780 #18 Posted June 26, 2018 Whatever I could fit with the given amount of time I had... I thought I was full on the way there, with the 502 8-8 and an old Toro cart. Unloaded the cart to @dells68 and picked up a Commando 800, 656 and 857. The Commando is back together after some crafty loading technique and took a drive around the yard this morning! The 656 just needs the seat pan bolted on and the 857... well that one is just a pile of parts for a little while. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,804 #20 Posted June 26, 2018 Came home with a bunch of memories, a pack of trading cards, some decals, a wet tent, muddy shoes, and another 701. Despite the bad weather, it was another great show. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cruisnblue48 783 #21 Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I picked up a nice mower deck with the mule drive and belts for my 520-H from WHX20 Jim. Easy mount in 10 minutes and ready to roll. Now I have three really nice WH mowing workers to play with. ... And a Wheel Horse racing banner from Vinylguy Terry... Awesome!
