What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
tractorhogg replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I have another hoist on a big I beam in my shop. I use the outdoor hoist to lift my Zero Turn to clean the mower deck -
Let me be perfectly clear. My wife is going to want to kill me if/when I buy another tractor! 🤣
- Today

Yes! you're on another level than most of us but we can usually find a good reason to tell our wives why we just have to have another

That is exactly it @ineedanother! Thank you! I don’t think we’ve heard from @johnnymag3 in quite a while here? And yes, as I remember that Eddie Murphy tractor is in very good condition. So is @Ike’s 130hr 418. I think there was some movement in the zipper area of my pants when I read 130hrs! I’d like to see more photos of both of them. Maybe someday I can put one of them in with my 400 series?

Very nice! I also like the hoist in the driveway. Hmmmm...project -
Yes. Sometimes I use rubbing alcohol and a few drops of black India ink with a drop or two of liquid dish soap to help break surface tension. I have used thinned black paint from the small bottles Walmart sells. Often times, the guys who know what they are doing, use chalk to streak below windows and represent rust down sides of buildings--and I may try something like that this time. I think they spray it with clear matt sealer to keep the chalk from getting disturbed. The ink and paint fill in the depressions helping give contrast. Below is a train tunnel. The brick are the same foam board the building is made from. I used a wash over the brick and the mountain the tone down the brighter colors. The white that represents sunlight is white paint dry brushed to give it highlights. Grass is greening up and I've spot mowed this week after I did my annual check up of the mowers. I'll likely spend less and less time on the building as warmer weather arrives. It will likely be next winter before I complete itl

A few years ago someone here posted that they had (if I remember correctly) a 418? that belonged to Eddie Murphy, yes that Eddie Murphy. It was not for sale, the gentleman wanted to hold onto it. Now I’m not exactly in the position to buy another tractor right now, but I have a 418-8 and a 418-C so to complete the 418’s a 418-A would be nice. I was just wondering if anyone remembers who that was that posted that? And if in fact it was a 418-A? If so and it were ever to come up for sale I might be interested in it. As I remember it was in very good condition and given its history it would be cool to add to my collection.

Taxes. Well, the state return anyway. Federal was done and in weeks ago. Now I'll wait a few more weeks and do the locals.

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

Buy or trade -YES. Sell... maybe... not. -
Lucky. We had a big antenna. When I was a kid it was on the side of the car port and we had to go outside to adjust it. One person stood in the door and watched the TV while shouting to another who turned the antenna. Then when I was in 5th grade we added a second floor and that made most reception impossible, so we moved the antenna to the roof of the car port, which was still the same roof from before. And the only real access was from my bedroom window, so I always had to go adjust it. Process was still the same, with two people shouting instructions.

I remember rabbit ears with tinfoil on them. Like that really did anything! When you stood in front of the TV you could get the picture dialed in by moving the antennas, but when you let go and went to sit down the picture would change. Then had to go back and try to guess which way to move the ears so when you walked away it would not change. We got basically two channels, three on a good day. Two were on VHF and one on UHF. I remember being the remote control for my dad! When cablevision came around 1980 it was a game changer! Clear pictures and lots of channels, I don’t remember how many but it seemed like a lot. Nothing like all the channels we have today though. I have to agree with Bruce Springsteen and his song “57 channels and nothing on”!

It's never too early. I'll still be rushing at the last minute though. -
@squonk you are so right, it was a pain in my a$$ to get the exhaust valve spring out, that's why I'm baying the new valves springs. Exhaust Valve spring is tweeked

I used the 1445 Auto today to clean out some deep litter bedding in the chicken coop. I hauled that beautiful nitrogen out to a spot that I’d like to plant a spring/summer food plot blend in front of my ladder stand. This $50 gutted manure spreader makes a wonderful hauler for the poop!

I try to put in what came out. Little trickier getting that rotator in with the limited room.
