Morning all, I hope I am putting this in the right section here... Although it's to do with a Wheel Horse's, it's not a Wheel Horse build.. So why have I been so quiet? Well, the build itself hasn't been too taxing.. But the filming and editing has. With so much footage to sort out I knew that if I didn't edit every evening I would never get it done... So has the time spent been worth it?? I think so.. Hard work but very enjoyable Let me know what you think Guys 'n' Girls, because your views and opinions will help me decide in which direction to take my videos in the future...

Came across this and thought I'd share it as I'm sure some of you guys will enjoy and appreciate it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daVDrGsaDME I've done this a fair few times with Mini engines in the past - brings back memories. Hope it does for some of you too.. Andy

I would like to share a story about my youngest son's football team, First I'm so glade we moved to a small town to have and raise our kids, the community is awesome and you can see that in the kids here, the young man in the story has been a buddy of my son for a while now, and has lots of friends now that he is getting involved, in more stuff like football. We were setting in the stands watching the game when all this happened, none of us had a clue, the boys did this for Keith all on their own with the blessing of the coach's. I have to say this brings a tear to my eyes every time I watch the video, so dang proud of the team. At first the local paper came and talked to the team, then the local TV station heard about it and came out for a interview at their next game, they put it on the 6pm news that night and it was not pushed to the end of the broadcast, it was the second story of the night, then they posted it on Face Book, it was a hit, so they reposted it, because they thought it was worth telling again. ​I hope this link to the news cast works, let me know if the video works or not. http://www.wilx.com/home/headlines/Olivet-Special-Needs-Student-Scores-Touchdown-227533941.html

Red one is a C160 8 speed recently converted to hydro with hydraulic lift. Blue one is a 1972 Charger 12 hydro wife wanted a blue horse in the yard so we have a blue horse. C160 is a 1976.

Great production Ian , very enjoyable & entertaining . Great soundtrack . As for the acting i think you deserve an

Why do I detect an ulterior motive? Who shall "D" winner be for October? No ulterior motive here. I enjoy the Tractor of the month and have voted every month since it started. My 18 auto is a worker and was redone with that in mind. It has been outclassed by many other tractors on here and I'm not too concerned about it. Winning would be nice for my son but Im not gonna pout if it doesn't happen.

been a little quiet on this one, but the 416H found a new home at my place last week!!!! thanks a bunch, terry...... going through a bunch of electrical gremlins right now, but i am hoping we will have a runner in the not too distant future. will do a thread on my troubles..... if the engine and hydro work out to be ok, i think this will be a nice tractor with some tlc......

I have both, but on two different 520's so no need to swap tires, just swap tractors.

tried to buy this tractor three years ago but the owner would'nt sell she sat by a shed in the weeds in his back yard I was driving by there a couple of weeks ago and decieded to stop and ask again the owner is in his late seventies and he still did not want to sell her as he was going to fix her up I stood around and talked awhile with him about tractors and other things for about a half hour and before I left I gave him my business card from work and told him to please call me if he changed his mind that next saturday morining at work I recieved a phone call and it was him and if I still wanted the tractor to come and get it he needed some money to fix his truck after a little TLC she runs pretty good Brian

I have seen a few requests for tow hitch options on the forum. Well here is a design I am working on. It is a combination Cyclone Rake and Receiver type hitch. It is in the prototype stage right now and I have a fabricator estimating it as we speak. This has been a result of my Cyclone Rake twisting my tow bar off once and getting close to it a second time. I hope the Cyclone Rake will have a hard time twisting this off. It will probably turn the tractor over first????

Great story and a great bunch of kids! No doubt it was ahuge confidence booster for that young man. Mike............. PS...that commercial has me aching for a Carmel apple coffee!! Any chance you could ship one my way??

Kelly- doesn't it just touch your soul? With the world seemingly turning crazy.....then we see that the hope of our country was there all the time....right under our noses! Great bunch of boys-Congrats to them!-Al

Super story great bunch of kids!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it didn't have gear reduction steering...

Hmmm....I thought all bezels were the same from the 1984 Workhorse series right up to the last models to roll off the line. I have to think your hood has been damaged and straightened out some...but not correctly?? Mike..........

Bend the tabs on the bottom of the back. Weld the back to the bottom Layout the cushion pieces on the vinyl left from the C-160 cushions. HunBun sews it all together. To be continued.

I can see all the screaming girls at the airport all ready!

NIce 857! I have been "doing leaves" with my 857 and it is a fun tractor. I run over the leaves with the RD deck to break them down a little then hit them with the 310-8 once and they literally disappear into mulch. If I could only get it on the roof with a gutter attachment!!!!

Went to the Threshermans Park at Boonville Indiana today for the Fall Show. For the 2nd Saturday in a row, I used my B-80 to plow. The Southern Indiana Clay was a little tougher than the sandy soil at Scott's M & G last week. Here is a video of the plowing.

USMC1968, I just sent you a PM concerning a 5xi plow.

Thanks for posting the story Jason. Makes me wish Id gone back this year after missing the last few years. Only have a few pictures from the 2000 show on the computer.
