:text-yeahthat: If I remember we need to beat AC/Simplicity brand record of 203 and push the show total to over 1000. I'm really looking forward to the Wheel Horse community to do just that, it's going to be a great show in 2019. Hope to see a lot of :rs:members in attendance. We have horse barns to fill with Wheel Horses.

Awesome tractor, can't wait to get my 1054 done up so I can take it to some shows. Wished I could land a set of those weights.

The WW-93  weights were used on the  953, the 1054 and the GT-14 tractors.   There are sets out there!

My Postman had to have hernia surgery after delivering the set I got on :techie-ebay:. They were shipped in four flat rate boxes.  :scared-yipes:

Lane,

 You just inspired me. I have 953 # 304. I'll dust it off put in a fresh battery and bring it. Won't be as nice as yours but still an early example. I too am looking forward to the show and having the Wheel Horse brand as the feature.

No progress to date:   Life has intervened and it may not get underway before this years show in Wisconsin!
