and one gray one...... (one of the red ones is a ring in) was going crazy with no room and much disorganization in my garage of late, so nice day outside, out they all came to make room for a clean up. heres how they looked all lined up..... also since this was the first time id got the c125 out since putting some new shoes on, heres a couple of it....... this tractor drives sweet now with the new tires, nice soft ride, and the steering is nice and easy too..... this one is definitely my favorite at the moment....

Hi guys, Got bored again and pulled out the horses I had that are running at the house. Just a couple of them, and there not the very pretty ones. Here is my 56 rj35, 59 rj58, 61 401, 62 702, 64 854 with the grader blade on it, 74 b80, and 77 c120. Jake

There is a Wheel Horse Anonymous. We meet almost every day. To quietly coerce you into buying more stuff. Then we have Horse Haulers anonymous that meets here also to do basically the same thing. Plus, as an added bonus? Tractor storage anonymous which helps you fully understand that the addiction will require more shed space which in turn means a larger shed. Then there is Implement Anonymous to help participants understand what implements they need to make the tractors complete. And last but not least, is Repair and restore Anonymous, to help participants repair and restore. This a very helpfull group to help ease participants through the sometimes painfull time before, during and after ownership. We are here to help. We only have your best interests in mind. Now, go get more stuff. We will be here to help. Anonymously, of course.

I have an old truck body box out back painted to match my house colors. The old ones can be bought much cheaper than it takes to build a shed with a garage door.

Martin! I probably would have cause a rear-end accident on the street in front of your house! My brakes would have slammed on! Nice collection! Very nice Blackhood!

These are all the tractor's I have had in 2 years. There needs to be a WA ( Wheelhorse anonymous).

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of meeting RedSquare member Big Jake. You all may remember this C-120 puller that Big Jake built last year. This is one real nice looking tractor... pictures do not do justice to actually seeing it in person. Made a deal with Big Jake for it and today it now resides in my garage as it has a new owner. I now have 6 Wheel Horses in my collection with this being my first puller. I know Big Jake hated to let it go, but I assured him it was going to a good home and will be very well taken care of. There are at least 8 pulling sites within a one hour distance from my home and I am hoping to have some fun with this tractor this year learning as much as I can about the garden pulling tractor sport. I can't thank Big Jake enough for some great pulling advice and giving me the opportunity to own his C-120 puller. DaveT

Started with this. Made a frame. Made the A frame. Completed

Nice herd Jake! You must have a tough time deciding which one to use.

very nice collection

Good looking collection Jake! You are on your way to some kind of World Record!

That '56 is sweet Jake...when you can, couple more picts of that one please.

Now that's a herd of Stallions! Thank you very much for sharing! PS ~ Did the Horses find Easter baskets? Let's hope!

Very nice herd Jake!

i think he already has hundreds!.... would like to see them all out one day jake, with your dads as well! now that would be some picture.......

As bad as you have it at your age Jake, you may end up with hundreds.

That's the trouble with stacking. Once they are up there you don't want to bother with them. Where's the fun in that?

Once the engine starts, the one-way clutch in the recoil mechanism will prevent that from happening. The same way that once the engine starts, the starter rope doesn't get yanked back into the starter.

It is fireing on vapors before the float bowl has been filled. I have changed the fuel pumps on my newer horses to the old pre 1966 pumps with the primer lever on them. You pump the lever a few times before starting and it fires right up. You can find them on Ebay from time to time, just look at the photos and you will see if they have the primer lever. I'v done this on my GT 14 and 312-8 and they should fit any Kohler with a fuel pump. Cost is about $ 20.00 with shipping.

Congratulations Buckrancher!! Tractor Of the Month March 2013

Here ya go boy's! A "Custom" custom hitch! I had scot add a mounting plate for a 2000lb winch (Superwinch 2000LT). Came out absolutely awesome, and works great, very functional. I can now use a 2" hitch receiver or any other 2" receiver attachment, I can use the winch to pull wood trees and logs out of the woods, and I still also can use the garden hitch below to pull a tractor cart.... Looks and fits factory made. Scott was a pleasure to work with.

"Hi, my name is Ken and I am a Wheel Horse addict"! But rehab is for quitters, and I am not a quitter!

r and b wheel horse stables hae a very nice set up as well! But I don't think there is many people who own as many tractors as them. http://rbwheelhorsestables.yolasite.com/our-collection.php

Before he was forced to sell his herd, Rickv1957 had one of the most impressive storage setups. Take a look at this thread:

Nice line up of horses Martin. Rich and i had some of ours out for a little ride yesterday.....Wayne

Room for 3 up top, 3 little ones underneath or 2 1/2 bigger ones. Honestly its not a great arrangement, I havent touched the tractors on the top shelf since I put them up there (probably 3 years now).

it is a very big problem i keep hope'n to win the lottery and build a 50x100 pole barn and i doubt that would be big enough and you have to play the lottery to win lol. mean while i try to keep the heard thin down and if i buy one that means one other one has to go. i got some rubber roofing and cut tarps to size needed to cover the unfortunate ones that have to stay out side. i am trying to to raise capital to buy a 8.5x 24 enclosed trailer to use for storage and to haul to shows kill 2 birds with one stone sort of plus my neighbors don't like all my tractors sitting around till i do something for them hahaha eric j

Stack and rack... thats what I do... although it is a little easier with RJ's, LOL!

we use pallet racking in our barn. Dealt with them all on the ground for a month and just couldnt take it!!! Here's the link to when we put it up.

remember the old saying "RED AND YELLOW, KILL A FELLOW" beware young man how u handle that thing! LOL

Stand by...................you will soon see some pictures including "stackable" wheelhorses by some of our members. (I'm waiting for a few guys here to build warehouses, use barcodes and keep their tractors and parts in SAP).

I have the worse affliction. Once I get one, I don't want to part with it so I try not to get anymore.

I'm starting to feel like an amateur. Lol

Leave it yellow. It males it easier to find in the parking lot when you drive it to Wally Mart or TSC!

That's not that many. Here are mine for two years 1963 653 1965 656 1968 Charger 12 1968 Raider 9 1972 Cowboy's High Horse 1974 C-120 1974 C-160 1975 C-120 1975 C-120 Special 1986 417A 1968 Electro 12 1979 C-121 1983 C-175 1983 C-175 1990 520H 1990 612Z 1996 269H 1964 654 1965 655 1974 C-120 1980 B-112 1982 1848 1991 520H Then there were several Simplicity's, a Dixon, a couple Snappers, a Husqvarna ect. If I go back 3 years add 1971 Bronco 14 1973 16 Auto 1974 C-120 1977 A-100 1981 B-82 1988 516H 1990 520-8 1990 616Z That.s just the Horses though. So you don't have it so bad!

I'm quite good at remembering how parts bolt back on... It's working out where I have stored those parts that causes me problems

Martin, nice tractors and a very nice 125! You really should put the side panels on the 682 though as the panels are designed to be on the tractor to help cool the 17 horse kohler! They effect the air flow.

The tank

I had a chance to prime those parts last night so after i scuffed them with water and a red scotchbrite pad i painted them with sunshine red rustoleum. Hoping to move onto the frame soon :)

I thought I would post some pics of the parts I had a chance to media blast today, they came out looking pretty good . I found a couple of things to fix it looks like the hood half may need a few tack welds, and I notice some epoxy like stuff down by the bottom mount not sure if it's original or a fix. Also found noticed a slight chunk missing on the sidecover Il have to go over, but overall I'm pretty happy with the way it all looks. Also does anybody know if the gasket for the two peice tank is available or will I have to make one?? Any help appreciated

Well i had some time to begin tear down and this is how it sits as of this morning. Steering wheel was rough but shes apart :)

The flap is exactly 36" wide and 5" tall, a heavy gauge metal, same as the top/front of the tiller. Held on with a 36" long "Continuous Hinge". This other one below has been bent up real bad several times and re-banged out; when I back-up, the flap often gets caught on a tine & stops turning. When I do make a new flap, it will may be just 3" rather than 5", -- or maybe made of a real firm rubber (like the one TSC sells for conveyor belts). Granger has the 3' heavy-duty hinges for about $15, flap is held on with 8 pairs of carr bolts. I do use this dedicated 416 with tiller a lot, Spring, Summer & Fall. Good luck with your rebuild, let us know how it comes out. Glen Always wondered what that little 'L' bracket on the very back is for (no hole in it) ???

OK, I went ahead and made my first rock shaft, it turned out good, so now i'm gonna make a few more to fit the Cxx5's and the 300,400, and 500's, oh yeah should fit the Cxx1's too. with the rock shaft, and the clamping technique, i think my buddy should not have any more trouble.

The weakest ink is stronger than the sharpest mind. Something like that anyway. Take pictures and notes.

oh the joys of having more than one horse! most mow & pull carts & sweepers. i leave the snow plow on the raider 9 the c-161 8 speed does most of the garden chores. but the 310-8 will help some this year. the raider 10 - 12 mutt does duty in the goat pasture. the smaller tractors commando 8, workhorse 800 & commando 800 mow with rd decks & pull trailers, i used the 518 yesterday to pull the car trailer around as a long workbehch. & honorable mention goes to the a-81 rear engine rider for quick steering & a large footwell for mowing along the road & picking up BOJANGLES trash & other assorted litter oh and i forgot the designated kid tractor a charger V8 automatic, it brings smiles to all the younguns that run it. but too much ideling around has started to seise up the KV181 so ot will soon be replaced, i have lotsof tractors & most get used weekly no show tractors here but this is the commando 8 i took to the big show last year, goot topic Jay

Thats very cool!!!!

I found a little time today to try the reel mower out on my 550. It actually works pretty good. I think it would be real good with a new belt and a more level yard. Here is a quick video.

That's what I did on my 704. They don't look factory but they work better than new.

Here are a few pics of the tractors with a few more of their pieces on them. The front rims on the mostly original RJ appear to be left over RJ-35 rims. They don't appear to have ever been painted. Tonight I cleaned both sides of the rims of many yrs. of thick grease. The grease preserved them quite well. Today I got a chance to weld about a dozen holes closed on the RJ that is being restored.
