My weenie dog likes to hang in the garage with me. While I think the pads are a great idea, I wonder if she'd be confused?
-
Thank you! Your's as well, well besides about burning down haha. It was good seeing you again and a great day!

My son has begun to really like riding his bike, so I drug mine out of hibernation to ride with him. Apparently as I've aged, the amount of padding on my saddle grabber has disappeared. So I swapped the seat to the "old fart non-reclining couch" version, and it is so much better! Looks a little dorky on my bike but I don't care... It's a Cadillac now!

Spring brings out the crazy folks

I was an Army pilot. We don't jump out of a perfectly good aircraft. Of course mine were helicopters so it didn't make sense anyway... -
We went roboting this week. I volunteered to be a robot inspector. Fun job. Get to take a close look at the robots the kids built and talk with the kids about the robots. The upperclass team won the competition and was also awarded the Industrial Design award. The underclass team made it into the finals and were runners up to the upperclass team. The upperclass team is now rated at #38 worldwide, and the underclass team is at #328 worldwide. There are about 3,750 active teams this year. Both teams are qualified for the world championships that will be held in Houston at the end of the month.

One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday or Sunday morning was to fire up the Dual Sport bike and head over to Sky Dive New England to watch the action. @kpinnc

What is the difference with these 2 spindle housings. I understand bearing sits lower in the one on the left and it gets a spacer on top of bearing with the shorter pipe in side. And the one on right gets a longer pipe inside due to bearing sits higher. So is the one on left just for 3/4” spindle and one on the right gets the 5/8” spindle. Or……..

One of the greatest tools ever designed. Except I rarely use it for what it was intended - Today

That applies to more than wagons. When I start to think I really don't need another WH tractor....

The older I get the shorter my bucket list gets. Kinda wish I tried stuff that when younger. -

Alex those are both some very nice tractors!!! Great seeing you today! -
Nice! I see a couple of calendar shots there.

Just joking of course. I'd love to be up there with them. Not sure I'd do touch and goes in random fields they way they do, but fun to watch. I was running my compressor and didn't hear them in time to get great pics, but this is my back yard.

With that much weight up front, I'd say you're doing something wrong if it didn't! Beautiful machine. Great to see it's still working!

Sure do miss this one. Nothing like a weekend ride on the back country paved and dirt roads in Maine. @Sparky

From a Suzuki V-Strom to a BMW. You high roller you. Very nice ride Mike. @Sparky

Trial by fire. Just started for the first time on Thursday and put it in the dirt today. I got the charging system wiring done, the carb nipple was leaking fuel got that fixed. It still needs tuning more, I may end up putting bushings on the throttle shaft of the carb I thought it was tight enough but I think that might be part of what is giving me some trouble. But it did plow really good! Still some small stuff to get sorted out. But traction is good, the front stays planted.

As soon as you have to think about it, you’re doomed.

We pullum to the barn then turn tractor around and push back in barn. We use to have a barn or two you could pull through which made it nice and one that was in a pretty flat spot with plenty of room and I could back wagon in it pretty good. Use to pull tractors with a young man 20yr my junior beat anything I ever saw backing a wagon he actually won the state FFA competition of wagon backing in high school. Man he could fly backing that thing, he could put two in a barn before I figured out which way to turn steering wheel first time .

Is your dipstick and dipstick tube the original and in good condition? Did you run the tractor till it got up to full operating temperature before parking it? I do believe that you can do everything just right and they will still burp occasionally. You might want to invest in pee pads:

When I was in 4-H we had tractor driving competition at the county fair. I hade never mastered the hay wagon backing skill (our hay barn was a pull through) but figured I would give it a try just for fun. I had one pull forward and the wagon was in place with no saw horses or ribbons disturbed. Next I hooked up the corn picker to back it into a stall and ran over two cones. All previously accumulated attaboys were now history.

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread
Thegearhead0324 replied to Pullstart's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
I’ll be heading to the show, first time, if anyone’s going to the show and willing to part with or selling a working and complete sickle bar, SML-506, SMS-506, or a 7-1312 (50”) for my long frame 1257. -
What did you do today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Mickwhitt's topic in non tractor related discussion
Been riding quite a bit this week. Today I went on a stretch of the trail that I haven’t been on in a loooong time. It goes right thru the center of a small city which usually doesn’t appeal to me, but I actually had a great ride and eventually I passed thru the city and back into the woods. Stopped to snap a lot of pics: -

What did you use for tubing to make the tie rods?
