What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

@Ed Kennell The 416 has 6” front wheels allowing it to turn about 95% before rubbing a little. My yard is pretty open so it’s not really an issue. I mow often, the 16hp Onan handles the deck with ease. As far as the lime dust on the C-101, don’t worry Ed as soon as I was done it went up on my lift table for a thorough cleaning. Even got some tire shine on it and vinyl conditioner on the seat! -

I thought the 60" required a FS axle. Hope you didn't get any lime on that 101. -

Saturday I got the 416-H ready for mowing duty by installing the 60” deck and Peco vacuum system. I cut real low to vacuum up the small sticks and debris from the winter, then put the C-101 to light duty work spreading lime. Tractor and spreader are both about the same age. I picked it up off an estate I was working on, it was in the basement like new! - Today

Where do you find a good mechanic in a bottle? That way I could spend time in the house with my Jeannie in the bottle while the wife is at work.

I don't listen to a thing she says or any of the snake oil deniers. I use Sea Foam and it works. Period

I found my old 854. My very first one.

Someone has too! -
I use an ounce of stabil 360 to 5 gallons of ethanol gas. Since I started using the stabil, I have not had any problems
-
@Phan do you have ethanol free fuel up there in Canada? This helps a lot. Also you don’t have to use a lot of additives been using it now for about three years.
-
Well one way is save the page of information and label it. Saves time and aggravation.

Considering the land clearing we've both been doing, that's reasonable. -

The pump was running, but cavitating. It was pulling more water from the casing than available. The acid was supposed to clean the well screen so water would flow into the pipe better, and rid the system of debris and rust buildup.

This is how it looked when I finished it. I remember every nut and bolt. And hours sanding, painting, breaks, tires, bearings, everything. Doing it with my sons. Hunting up parts decals etc. They were just kids. But what a joy. Putting it together piece by piece. But most of you here know the same good feeling. I liked that pld seat back I found and put on. The tractor look for me. Lol. But Fulfillment. Glenn -

Hey there Ed. So darn good to see you. We shared many a word over the years. I tried texting Mike. How about Craig. And was sorry to read about Duke. Another good guy. -

From.what I gather his buddy has the plane and hanger. He bought the 854 to mow the grass around the hanger. When I bought the 854 it came with the original and working rear discharge deck. The bearings and deck were near perfect. I should have taken it down and painted it. But didn't. Stupid me just started binge buying wheel horses. And plenty of them. Trust me. -

You all have read about our special needs grandson. After waiting 2 1/2 years (if not longer) he received his special needs dog. The problem is that even though he's nearly eight, he functions at a four year old level. So commanding his dog is difficult. His mom is a teacher that works with kids that get kicked out of class so they have special permission to allow the dog to stay in her classroom and he had been a great help settling kids down. The plan is to allow the dog to be with our grandson next year in his classroom. Thursday evening we got a frantic call from our daughter. We immediately went to her house and on the way she called and said "He's dead." What happened was their other dog, which weighs about twice the special needs dog "uppie", as our grandson called him, were playing in the back yard and somehow "uppie's choke chain got tangled in the mouth of their other dog. The result was the special needs dog was strangled while our daughter and our 10 year old granddaughter and 11 year old grandson were trying to untangle the choke chain. A scene and sounds the three of them seem to keep reliving. They were devastated. When we arrived at the house, our granddaughter collapsed running to us. Her knees just buckled under her. Our daughter was holding the dead dog on a divan on their patio. After a while, it was decided it was time to bury the dog under a tree that we planted 18 years ago in memory of our son. We have two other dogs buried under that tree so I was to add this one. Our daughter told our grandson to say goodbye to his "uppie." he gave the animal a hug and a kiss. We wrapped it in a sheet and our grandson watched as we carried it to our vehicle. After I buried the dog, our granddaughter asked to stay with us. She wanted to be close to the deceased dog and she slept with the window shades open so she could look out to see he grave in our back yard. The next morning she was worried about Hudson getting dirty and wet in the ground. I told her that's why we wrapped him in a clean sheet. She seemed to accept that. Yesterday, I took our grandson to lunch and while there he as me "Why my uppie (at) papa's house?" I think he believes his service dog is at my house. He said "My uppie owie and doc doc." His dad explained that the doctor couldn't fix him. This was a freak accident that no one could have predicted. I believe that our grandson doesn't comprehend what has happened and for him life goes on. His folks and siblings are mourning the loss. Service dogs are never left alone, they are always in the company of their humans so the family was quite attached. You just never know what situations we'll have to deal with.

Bell works for me. I don't walk with headphones. I'd rather pay attention to nature around me.
