Karen. You are right. Pouring rain and thunderstorms never seemed to chase the show goers before. This year it was entirely different. I'd say 30% left late Friday afternoon. I've never seen that and I've been attending since 2010. We left today at around 12:30.

Thanks Steven, I sent $25

Try Montezumma's mexican restaurant, I can promise you it is DELICIOUS!! we go there every year on Thursday night -
So sad to see it so empty so early. It drizzled, not as bad as previous years, but there was so much talk of weather, I feel it drove so many away 😞. Still had a great time and had fun talking with you Bob and your grandson!!

It's pretty easy, even easier with two people. Step one, very important this is done first: Slip the belt from the engine off the deck pulley. 2: remove the lift link. 3: Release the retaining forks at the front of the tractor. 4: Turn wheels all the way to the right, pull deck out from the left. It helps to rock it up to the right a bit so the lift link clears under the frame. That's where the second person comes in.

Nice score on the C81! Funny enough, yesterday while I was at the show, my dad let me know that one of his friends had a C81 that he wanted to get rid of. I wasn't too keen on it, but after seeing your post, and seeing van work on his B80, it might a be a fun project to pick up. Great talking with you and your son on Friday! Maybe he will have to get a rooster tattoo!

Hey, I watched you unload, while unloading, yesterday. -
Hey Kevin, keep the faith brother. I have nothing to add that hasn’t been already said. Wish I was closer and could lend a hand.

Recommendations for faded Wheelhorse paint

You could try poppy’s patina, it just wipes on with an applicator. -
Recommendations for faded Wheelhorse paint
John c replied to FLtractor's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Would I want to paint graphics on tractor before or after the penetrol? probably before you put the penetrol on it, then you'd want the graphics paint to harden some and I'd be careful with the pentrol. It is a thinning additive for oil based paints and finishes after all. I can't believe how well it looks on raw metal - Today

In these I included a pic of a broken Hampton sign, I witnessed a bus back right into it while checking out my truck in the morning. -
How do you carry stuff on your Wheel Horse?
cjb398 replied to cjb398's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
This is what I ended up doing, and I expect it will work well for the small items I sometimes carry. The basket I got at Lowes and is an over the cabinet basket in their home goods department. I straightened the hooks that would fit over a cabinet door so they rest on top of the seatback, and held the basket in place with cable mounts and Zip ties. -

Update: I've fixed one pinch point where a wire was slightly exposed. It was right behind the dash plate. Ive noticed that you really have to pay attention exactly where to put the harness before screwing down the dash plate so as to not crush any wires. I still need to go back through the wiring again, but it works as it should now. -
Enjoyed meeting you. It was nice to put a face to the name.

Evening, Posted a thread asking about how to remove 856 deck before and cannot find it… anyone have a quick breakdown of how to do it and helpful tips? Perhaps a manual with pictures if ever existed?

I saw this and thought it applied to us too…

Giving it the @Pullstart overhead storage system, I figure you could cram about 300 Long frame Horses in there, or 1.5 times that for RJ's..... and leave enough room for a Fabricating Shop... -
Here’s a better pic of it, when I get time I’ll be starting on it.

Sickle mower has been on my bucket list for at least 20yrs now but just haven't been able to connect with one. @cafoose has one and its the only one Ive eve seen in the wild around here. Wished he would hurry up and get bored with it and pass it on to me.

K341 Troubles, Random "sputtering" - Calling engine Pros
sqrlgtr replied to bmsgaffer's topic in Engines
"circle, circle, dot, dot, now you've had your cootie shot" I showed my niece this on her arm once and I got in trouble. I reckon she immunized her household and school mates dozens of times afterward. -
I preferred powered ignition wiring harnesses. The last tractor I rewired was a GT1800. I purposely wired it for a powered ignition. This provides the greatest flexibility for engine swaps.

I might be able to hook you up with some help for next year. I know a young man who loves WH's and beagles, and is a very hard worker. Plus he can probably count it towards his service hours for scouts.

Almost to nice..but I’ll grease it and swap fluids and then she’s getting a 36”RD to prove it deserves a spot here!

.., ran when parked... Look for cheese curds under the seat...
