    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Me and the neighbor loaded a few of them up and took them to Portland, IN antique engine and tractor show. Spent the better part of the day riding around the swap meet area and picking up a few things along the way. Only managed to cover about half of the swap meet area and one pass through the antique engine area. Huge event and it doesn't even officially open until Wednesday.

    Flat or semi gloss black on the tower parts. Flat is more forgiving later if you have to touch up here and there from scratches too. The more gloss, the more blemishes will show up. Personally, flat looks better to me.
  8. Nothing special, but I moved a couple out to the barn until the house is done. It was nice to drive them around for a bit. You can see some of the debris pile behind the 523H. The contractor has removed over a dozen tandem dump truck loads so far.

    I am just asking about metal panels on the steering tower. All of mine are faded and worn and not sure if they were originally gloss, semi or matte.
  10. I'd like to have Glen Miller and the Army Air Force Band's version of Flyin' Home played at my funeral - LOUDLY.

    That’s some serious mileage you’re covering.

    He's been on several watch lists for years related to his unnatural accumulation of tractor parts... something about manipulating the market...

    Morbidly, I’ve started a folder to blunt the “He would’ve liked...” hypotheses. If it’s in there, I liked it. On the other hand, I won’t be there to hear or see whatever goes on so maybe I don’t care!?

    The long flight (United Airlines) came in just a bit quicker at 15 hours and 35 minutes in the air…set my stopwatch on my phone . The next and final leg across Australia is with Quantas and is just over 4 hours.

    Is @Bens vintage tractorsstill on here. He may have something. I found his ad on Facebook. He's got lots of stuff for sale and he's close.

    ICON Magnetic Mat

    Can't say enough about then ICON magnetic mat from my favorite haunt Horror Fright! Super handy when tearing down a tractor. Bolts, parts, tools stick to it so things don't go bye bye and won't harm the paint on @WHX?? and @Achto's trailer queens! Not cheap at 25 clams but worth it in my book! https://www.harborfreight.com/large-magnetic-tool-pad-attaches-to-toolboxes-fenders-and-doors-11-in-x-9-in-mat-holds-ratchets-wrenches-and-sockets-70077.html

    What did you do today?

    Well after being yelled at over nothing by a psychotic co-worker, and then running out of gas on a test drive, I decided I did not hate my life enough yet today, sooooo.... Engine is out. I forgot the flexplate bolts are e-torx, so it can't go on the stand yet, because I didn't bring the right sockets home.
  19. Yesterday
  20. Street Rod buddy of mine asked that '50s and '60s "Car Tunes" be played at his memorial service concluding the service with Jan and Dean's "Dead Mans Curve". Some of his relatives thought it was a bit sacrilegious, those of us who had known him for years loved it.
  21. @ebinmaine That’s great news. Glad to hear it!

    One of the women at the Bereavement Group i joined a couple of years ago when my wife passed was quite a character. She had 5 children and outlived 3 husbands! She hand picked all the arrangements for her funeral prior to her death. Per her specific request, the Video of her life in pictures included the famous clip from the 1939 Wizard of Oz - "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead". That was so her....
  23. I'm happy to report that the Meeha Mirror is doing exceptionally well. She's healing faster and better than the E/R doc expected. Trina's been experimenting with taking two of the three meds away. There was some on n off there because of obvious pain & discomfort but the dog 🐕 is now off meds except prednisone. That'll be a few more weeks in the downgrading process. She's still severely restricted in allowable movement. No jumping. No running. Indoors she's kept quiet and in limited space so she can't run. Outdoors she's always leashed. This routine keeps up until the end of September at minimum.

    Wheel Horse Paint Recommendations

    When I begin to do any painting on my 520xi, the first thing will be to paint the rims white as having silver rims on a Wheel Horse is sacrilegious. Looking at the recommended colors, the Rustoleum Ivory Gloss I believe is no longer available. I just painted a 1998 Sylvan Blue Fish. The Ivory Gloss was about a perfect match for the white portion but unavailable. The Pettit top side Hatteras Off White is what I used. Went back and forth with Pettit as their on line paint chips or colors on the cans are not even close to the actual color. The off white is a bright white. You can see both colors compared to the front of the boat before I painted it. Was amazed how smooth the finish is for a brush on paint. I did use their hardener also. Attaching a picture of the boat so you can see the color. May be another very durable paint color for the white wheels.
