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. -
What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

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.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Today for Easter I took the Frankenstein C-141 out in the damp weather up here. The goal was to run it around for a bit and to check if my connections were waterproof. It passed with no issues. It ran like a top too which was an added bonus. -
To start off I hope everyone had a great Easter with family. As I was getting rid of old In active phone numbers I came across the young mans number who bought the last of many wheel horse items I had left. Including my very first one. My 854 , which I took down and redid all but the engine. There's a old thread on here during that journey. I luved that old machine. Than I got a perfect restored plowblade from Mike / Sqounk. Has anyone seen him or Craig? Anyway, I asked Chris about my old 854. He sold it. And gave me a picture of it. She looks great. I told him.lf his friend ever sells it. I want the first call. I was foolish never to keep it. It straightened me out during my stroke recovery. And got me here. And to 1 PA meet. I met many good folks here. And still enjoy reading on here. Anyway here is the picture. I hope you guys enjoy it . Glenn

I've never heard of acid cleaning the well. What caused you to decide to clean the well?

What did you do today?

Yep, all the trails I ride are rails to trails. Quite a few miles of them near me. I installed a bell but it hasn’t been as affective as me announcing myself. Quite a few walkers/joggers and dog walkers with headphones in and they don’t hear anything. My average speed is in the11-14mph range (I’m not fast by any means) -
The gangs all here. Both my sons were born this week. Mark April 8th and three years later Mike April 4th. Rained all day so the egg hunts were moved inside. I lost the painted egg contest ...again. Had a Great Day but I'm pooped.

Thanks missed that step

And a lot of times I do, but then other times I'm kicking ideas around in my head while tending to and doing other things and don't have the time at that moment, but still have a train of thought with a hole in it.

K&B Horse Parts @76c12091520h would be a likely source for blades to fit your gear drive mower deck.

Looks like you had a couple of nice rides. Is the trail you rode a rails to trail conversion? I walk my dog daily on the KATY trail in Mo. and on the Fred Meijer Hartland trail when I am in Michigan. The KATY trail is a state park on the old MKT right of way. The Hartland trail is a private trail open to the public on the old B&O right of way. I really appreciate when bicyclists announce themselves when approaching from behind. We don't always hear a bicycle approaching from behind, so a bit of notice gives me a chance to shorten the dog's leash to keep him from charging the bicycle. When a bicycle blows by us at 20 or 25 mph unannounced, it is quite a suprise. The dog usually takes a lunge at the bike, which creates an uncomfortable yank in my shoulder whe he reaches the end of his leash. Had to chuckle about one encounter we had on the trail. A lady was riding with her dog's leash attached to her handlebars approaching us from the opposite direction. Her dog saw my dog and started to run faster to cross in front of her to greet my dog. Her dog sped up, she sped up, her dog went faster, she tell her dog 'no' as she is speeding up, her dog ignores her speeds up again, she is pedaling furiously now telling her dog 'NO' again in a very panicked voice. I'm thinking that if her dog cuts in front of her, this is going to be a spectacular crash. By this time, they are by me and all is well.

@Bbrown When you want to alert a member you need to type @ then the members name. A drop down of the members names that match will appear. Then click on the name in the drop down that you want to alert. Try it.

Interesting tests. Not sure how relevant they are to how the product acts when run through an engine. I treat my rec fuel with Seafoam at 8oz per 5 gallons of gas. Seems to work OK. Some balky engines it seems to help, others, not so much. After seeing this, I think I'll get some Ethanol Shield or Mechanic in a Bottle to run in Pack Rat, the Allis Chalmers B-110. It has a backfiring issue on throttle down - particularly when it is cold. I'm kind of wondering how much carbon build up it has. Yes, I know I should pull the head and take a look. Maybe I'll get to that this summer.

Tractor runs operates as it should. The trac-Vac was working good 3years ago.
