Great show. Great memories with the old Case steamer, which they let me help fire on a few times. Went down a time or two over the years when my grandparents had a winter place in Placida.

Bought my first :wh: at the Flywheelers show twenty years ago. We are in Florida now visiting family so doubt I will be making a second trip to The Sunshine State that soon.

Love the show but it has just got too crowded with golf carts and side by sides. Almost been ran over twice. Other than that, a lot of neat stuff to see.

Yes Richie you are an endangered species at the Flywheelers Show if not on some type of motorized coveyance.

Florida Flywheelers starts on Wednesday thru Sunday next week.  Putting my 754 together to run at show.   Also staying at Rodney Burger’s ( lawnman_56) in Lorida, Florida.  Rodney lives 1/2 mile from Lake Istokpoga, 27,000 thousand acre lake.  One of Florida’s largest.  Took a tour at sunset near the lake.  
 

###   Squonk (Mike Chasse) told me a neat trick for making old tires pliable and ready for mounting on steel wheels.  Use DL hand cream (creamy no pumice).  I bought a very early new old stock Goodyear set for one of my RJs.

Some pics from Florida!  My 754 now a fully functional 1964 Wheel Horse.   Put the matte clear coat on after power washing, sanding and fine steel wool use! First one for me like that patina look!

I bought a New Old Sock pair of Goodyear front tires for use on one of my roundhoods In Florida!   Squonk said using DL creamy hand cream (no pumice). Would soften them up.    Used it and these are very pliable.

Talking with Clay Brooks I found out that these wheels were early Shenuit wheels used with Shenuit tires on early wheel horse tractors.  They have six distinctive weld holes and are one inch narrower in the center from later RJ wheels but have the same width on hubs!

I picked up a heavy duty square Pan seat for Craig in Florida!  I will bring to the big show in June!

Yes those are all rental carts. Add in everyone that brings their own, plus all the side by sides and it gets really crowded. Still a good time though!

The grounds are so big you can't walk it and see it in a single day. About a dozen years ago I built a chariot to tow behind my :wh: , worked out well for us. Ran into a couple we knew and shared the ride with them too.125.JPG.af9e60a3a13b1c0896b083fe23820d2e.JPG163.JPG.8493af90f1c1908f00810261c1a4ce9e.JPG
