Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #1 Posted November 6, 2018 so mom was going through the computer room today and found a folder of dads named wheel horse. in there i did a little searching found a reply from a forum thread here on redsquare so i looked it up and bam found my dads old account name. my dad died july 22, 2017 to stage 4 lung cancer. he couldnt remember his account name at all but before he past i was doing the posting on this account. so quoting a reply from one his threads we did find out what this one was lol 1962 502 and he had the hood all the years he kind of like painted it and then forgot which one it was too lol Buzz, When you figure out what that is ae; 702, 502, or whatever it may be please let me know. I have one just like that, minus the hood, that someone painted a God awful maroon color. They even painted over the serial # on the shift patern and the decal on the belt guard. Anyway your find is putting me closer to find out what mine is. Thanks alot. Bill 13 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevillerod 834 #6 Posted November 7, 2018 Sorry to hear about your dad, i also lost mine years ago to cancer. I had parked his C160 auto and tarped it due to it having some issues. couple of years ago I redid it and now it is used a few time a week. It is a fav of the family and something that holds fond memories. Funny how a old tractor can carry so much to so many, 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its had a hard life used has a plow tractor for years. Next year it's getting a deck put on but not used. We have many machines I use. Dads 753 is used a lot so is the Sears compact 8e. Now I got the 552 a few weeks ago and something came over me once I got the snowblower with a h70. Something told me to fix the 552. So that's what I did. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daddy Don 887 #9 Posted November 8, 2018 This is a good story. Just shows how no one is ever forgot on this site no matter who you are. Your dad is looking down and smiling on you for finding out his account. This is a great tribute to you for caring out the way to find your dads records Keep your faith and thank him for what he left you. My dad died with black lung cancer from working in the coal mines in Utah. He never talked that much so I don't know what it was like for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad died with black lung cancer from working in the coal mines in Utah. He never talked that much so I don't know what it was like for him. I hear you. It took dads mind off the cancer helping me with the 502. In fact he couldn't wait to get home from hospital to help. He was excited due to the parts run I made while he was in hospital. To hear I had a 702 on the trailer with original sediment bowl and better parts here and there for the 502. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
