Pond Wheel Horse Walk Away

Recommended Posts

wh315-8

Landed me 2 Walk Away's today. 1 complete with continuous one piece handle and 6-12 wheels, Clinton Engine. The second one is just the Pond gearbox, Hubs, frame and also one piece handlebars. The Clinton engine tag shows it to be a B704. I have been checking the web for year. Found Clinton site but no direct hint for year. So any of you have any idea how to determine the year of this Walk Away? I know the engine can give me an idea. I have the Walk Away manual download but know it is a 54, which shows the two piece handlebars. So does mine indicate they could be the early ones from 48-50?

:clap: Super rare, awesome score!

Engine is certainly appears to be earlier, were you able to put a date with that?

That's what I am trying to get date on figuring that might be original to date Walk Away. Clinton doesn't seem to date the way later Kohler's do.

Sweet score!  Did they bleed you out for them, or not know what they had?

No it just turned out to be a fair deal. A collector of mostly ag tractors, some WH. Fits in nicely with my collection, I can now show the beginning and how WH progressed all the way to 2004. 315-8 last model made.

You have a 1953 to 54 . This is a transition tractor . The start of the pulley belt tension clutching system and just before they started the detachable handles. I have one just like yours except mine has a briggs model 6. Mine dates late 1953. Its kind of a rare tractor according to Joe Papke. When he looked at mine he said that he had only seen one more than mine ever .Matter of fact Stevasaurus took a ride on mine at the  Last Charlotte Michigan Show . I think there is a pic of him  on it in the show pic catagory. DO YOU REMEBER THAT STEVE!

Nice to see another. Great find.

Thank You every little bit of info helps. I have been searching for any old ads in Popular Mechanics and such. Only find the flat bolt on type handlebars in pictures or the Pond Speedex ads.

      Hi all, as mentioned in another topic I visited the local harvest-show in Onstwedde again. I brought my mini International 1468 with me and got set up at around 9 in the morning. Gates opened at 10.
      It was a bit overcast and wet at the beginning but it turned out to be a nice and sunny day for the most part.
      @Pullstart requested some show pictures so here ya' go 
       
      All set up, waiting for the folks to come in and say Hi.
       

       
      This 1/3rd scale stationary thresher is built by my dads grandpa (who has passed away) and is now owned by my dad's uncle.
      He tours the country with it and displays it on several shows. It actually works and my dad's grandpa used it to harvest beans.
      The steam tractor that powers it is not my dad's uncle's but happened to be there aswell so they thought let's see if the tractor can power the thresher. Worked flawlessly.

       

       
      Besides the small tresher there's always a real one setup aswell. They thresh grain and bale the straw with the attached baler. 
      Powered by a flat belt off a vintage Hanomag tractor.

       
      Threshing machine, Dutch built out of the province of Groningen.

       
      Straw baler. The bales are manually tied and knotten.

       
      This apparatus was placed before the thresher. Not 100 percent sure what it does but it seemed it gets rid of excess chaff and other unwanted debris.

       
      Who can guess what these are and/or what they're used for?

       
      Vintage DAF truck. Dutch truck brand. This one was very nicely restored. 

       
      And another one, this one obviously for military use. Note the second axle which is free rolling. This helped it conquer dunes and tranches in rough conditions. My granddad used to operate one of these.

       
      Also no big center differential on the back axles but driveshafts coming directly from the main gearbox. The shock is the rear of the vehicle. I guess they went this route for maximum ground clearance and articulation.

      Show off what your doing from the seat of your Horse!!! Fixed up a mowing deck for the 1277 and put the plow on the C1014. Getting ready to level a topsoil pile and going down the block to mow the small park to test the mowing deck out.
