Do I have to change gears, motor, or tires what do I do. I can see that everyone has a special hitch in the back to tow.

    The green paint, it has lead in it & will make you go nuts. Soon you will be buying more greenies. Serious though isn't the 430 the larger sized "super" GT with the diesel engine.

    As far as that worn frame plate hole, I was just at TSC yesterday and saw they have brass bushings you could put in there. You would have to drill the hole out though but that shouldn't be a problem since you've got it all apart. Just another option.

    I have always viewed blogs as a cross-breed between a personal webpage and a discussion forum.. the blog has one specific "owner"..like a webpage..its about that persons thoughts and feelings on whatever the topic might be.. you could have a blog detailing your tractor restoration for example..make new posts to the blog as you have new info and photos to share.. the "half-breed with a forum" part comes in because people can make comments directly to your blog posts..and the comments appear on the blog, where everyone can see them and also reply..so you can have a "discussion thread" on a blog post, much like you do in this forum.. I make webpages about my hobbies: http://1stclass.myla...Wheelhorse.html But they are "old fashioned" webpages only..there is no way anyone can comment on the page itself.. People have to email me if they want to discuss anything on the page..and of course those emails are "private" and only seen by myself and the person who emailed me..In a sense, that can be unfortunate because there is often a lot of interesting info shared in emails that might be of interest to others in the hobby..(I get a LOT of emails from my Ariens snowblower webpage!) blog format might be more useful in that respect..but im not going to change it now! But sometimes I think the blog format might be better for some of the things I do.. for example, when I do my first full-teardown and restoration of a tractor, I might want to create a blog about it, rather than a "new page" on the webpage..that way I can get feedback and discussion right on the blog, which might be nice... but for now, im only doing the webpages..(and I could also link the blog to the webpage..so in a sense it would be part of the webpage as well..) Or..I would just create a forum post here about it..that does the same thing a blog would do.. and would be easier actually..and people would be more likely to read and comment that way, than they would with a blog, which might be harder to find.. For a forum like this, im not sure the blog idea would work so well.. IMO if someone wants to make a discussion about their personal tractor restoration, it makes more sense to me to have it as a traditional forum post..and we already have a "Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations" subforum just for that kind of thing.. so that works great..I wouldnt add blog capability to this group..would only needlessly complicate things..If someone wants to set up their own blog, there are several good free blog sites where you can set one up yourself..

    Hi, I am Gary Pond (Cecils son who worked for Wheel Horse for many years until sold). My son Jonathon Pond, sister Constance, and I had the pleasure of visiting your annual Wheel Horse Collectors show in PA the year that Michael Martino came out with his 2nd edition of From the Horses Mouth. As my Dad was a number of years earlier, we were greatly impressed and proud to see the large gathering of the wonderfully restored old Wheel Horse tractors and owners. Michael tracked me down about 5 years before the 1st edition to see if Cecil was alive and could be contacted. He told us of the Collectors Club and the need for more accurate information. That started a long and happy relationship (friendship) between Cecil and Michael. A family member (Jonathons Mother) showed me a link to your blog. The Pond family wanted to say "Thank You" for all of the heart felt comments about Cecil, Elmer, and Wheel Horse Products. Our appreciation and respect to all Participants. The above photo shows 4th generation Jonathon Pond with a tractor that his Great-Granddad Elmer Pond designed.
