c-series don 7,815 #1 Posted October 27, 2018 My wife and I went to New England last week for our twenty-fifth anniversary. While heading up through Connecticut in the dark we came up to a stoplight and my wife looked out the window and said "oh no" I looked over and saw a Wheel Horse dealer sign. We were twenty minutes from our hotel and it was late. I then told her, guess what we are going to do first thing in the morning?!! When we got up the following morning she said "I can't believe the first thing we are doing on our vacation is going to a Wheel Horse dealer!" Upon our arrival I met the owner of the dealership who informed me that his dad first started selling Wheel Horses around 1975-6. I told him about my addiction and he said that he might have some things I might be interested in. My wife who has zero interest in this stuff just stayed in the car. When I carried out the big two sided metal sign she was just shaking her head. So I scored the two signs, both of which I already have but I can't get enough Wheel Horse memorabilia, a door mat, front weight kit and a vacuum unit !! All for a reasonable price. I must say that the owner really couldn't have been nicer. He told me they had tractors stacked two high in his little showroom back in the hay day. I asked him if he had pictures and he said yes he would have to dig them out and text me the pics. I will post them as soon as I get them. Needless to say this was a great start to our anniversary vacation (at least for me !!) 11 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,978 #3 Posted October 27, 2018 "Cool way to start a vacation." Risky way to start a 25th anniversary. Hope you make it to 26th. My wife rolls her eyes and says "No!" every time I look at any tractor along the road. Jim 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,151 #4 Posted October 27, 2018 Nice Score! The door mat is for the wife right? Just thinking that she should be in the "President's Club" for putting up with your "hobby"...Boy that would make a great entry statement at the main door... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 7,815 #10 Posted October 27, 2018 Since I already have the big sign in my garage I thought maybe I could put my new one in the bedroom. She thought not. You should have seen the look I got. I think most of y'all know THE LOOK!! 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soo.... when I caught my first legal musky and had it mounted I told her that I was going to hang it on the ceiling above the bed. She graciously granted me a spot on the wall .
