we would be building you a shed for more!

 

As much as I hate paying rent for anything, I'm thinkin' that I will have to rent a storage unit for this winter. Other wise I will have no room to do a resto this year. 

 

Let's see I joined in 2015 with a total of one lonely . Right now I'm at an even dozen.

I joined in 2015 with one and now have 4 + 1 in parts. I need 5 more 854's. One 854 for each grandchild.

I had just bought my first WH, a 314-8 when I joined 6 years ago. I currently have 8-a couple I got as parts machines then once I got them decided they were too nice to part out and got them running. They are scattered out between my house, my place in Mathews my mom's house and the 310-8 my friend borrowed over a year ago and I haven't seen it since! I have a couple I should get rid of, but just haven't taken the time to do it.

I recently bought a few more to go with my 14 strong collection , luckily I can sneak these ones past her indoors without having to buys bunches of flowers to say sorry about my addiction

My Wheel Horse journey started back in March 2016 when I was given my 1277, shortly after I stumbled across RedSquare while looking for parts and realized the following these little machines have. I am currently up to 6, though only the C125 and the 753 are runners at this time. And always looking for more

I guess if we're going to be listing the ones that don't run, I have two projects in the works. One for me and one for Trina.

Colossus for me and an 856 for her. That will make 3 each by next spring.

 

We also have at least two others in the parts pile that are complete and enough stuff in the parts pile to build a couple more.

 

We did put up a portable garage this past spring with the help of @JCM Jim and Trina's mom and that is our separate covered storage for the tractors and a couple other things.

 

It is good to have parts Eric.

I agree.

 

Although I have to admit I got to wondering a few weeks ago if maybe I had a little too much stuff.

 

Ridiculous thought, I know.

 

I was looking around for parts to build Colossus and I realized I had five frames to choose from.

Five.

that's okay for now I guess because we have a couple more projects to do this winter

She says... Never!

The size of my herd has gone from two to twelve in the past decade, but that isn't the most important part. The number of friendships I've made and the knowledge we have shared through Red Square is what is most meaningful to me.    

[WHX?? 46,939]

Amen  on the friendships made Richard!

My WH collection has gone from 0 to 3 in the last 5 years. My grandfather gave me a GT-14 that he was given. He's a CC guy and didn't plan on messing with it. 

 

My overall collection has gone from 0 to 7 in probably the last 15 years. I started out with a "Rugg" mower that I rescued from a little scrap yard that my dad and I enjoyed wandering through. Then came a series of junk mowers (which I don't count), then a CC 1650, my GT-14, a C120, a Bantam, a Sears GT 19.9, and finally a C160... and I still want more!
