Scotts meet & greet Pictures

a few pics i took at scotts

Well the tractor aint much to look at, I figured I'd run the engine mounted tank out of fuel before pulling it and getting the hood back over the new K181T. but we were running the disc this weekend and a camera was handy... memories I hope my girls don't soon forget

Some photos to satisfy the group.

and some more............

From the looks of this 57 year old photo, I started working on engines & mowers at the age of 2!!

Michael D Conley has given me so many photos that you guys will see so much eye candy that it is ridiculous. These are just a few of the many amazing shots taken! Hopefully I haven't doubled up on the photos.....hope you enjoy!

What am I thinking? If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video of Scott's Horse Rescue must be worth a MIL- MIL FIVE!

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures, Everyone wants pictures! I think my camera is still frozen. Lets take a quick look to see if there were any ROCKWELL moments? Yes here is one I have found. This would be a special moment I caught Scott, with his daughter and a friend walking all the way back to the barn from the middle of the field after the drive pulley decided to exit his 1045! Sorry Scott, didn't think you would post this one.

The garden was pretty much done for the year, so with rain in the forecast I decided to till up the garden and prep it for winter. I have a real nice Troy-Built Tiller and I got one round on the outside of the garden and the belt went bad. So, my Dad brought over a heavy 1960's front-tine tiller. Wow, that beast made me really appreciate my Troy-Built. I ended up with two blisters cause is shook and bounced so much and it took about 4x longer that it normally does. Made two passes to get everything tilled under. Then applied a product called Micro-Essentials SZ (MESZ) by broadcast spreader and took one more pass on the tiller to get it under. I am going to pick up some cereal rye tomorrow to put down for a cover crop and to help increase organic matter when I till it back under in the spring. As you can see.....had to finish under the spot light Thad (Ohio)

Some of you may have been following my latest 4x4, inspired by Bob Rock and a few others. It's taken a while, but today I finally fastened the tin work on and borrowed my sons C-121 hood - (sorry Ewan), its still also still 4x2 for the pics and video - I needed the tin work in place before I finished the idler and 4WD select/difflock. Seat is almost the right height, just the housing to tidy up and springs to add. and the obligatory video

I've spent the last weeks of summer getting this little darling ready to go. I got it off a JD from a scrapyard in Minnesota for $350. 400 pounds of solid steel, tempered glass windows, WIper, defroster fan. Mice ate the wiring, so I had to rewire, and added front floodlights. The original cowling around the hood didn't fit due to the muffler. I made a new one out of Lexan, and am waiting on molding from McMaster-Carr rated to 450 degrees. I don't think the exhaust will melt that, but we will see. Mounting was a PIA, but I was able to modify the front mounts by reinforcing the footrests. Mounted to the frame, there was too much sway. Moving the mounts farther apart solved that problem. The rear sits on the seatpan for sway control, but most of the weight is in the rear hitch. I am doing the best I can sealing out the weather, and the vinyl matting over the footrests will solve most of the problems when fully installed.

Hi all I've mowed for years with a 414-8 and now have picked up a 653 down the road that I want to restore and make like new again, overall the shape is excellent and everything is there but the gascolater which is an easy replace. I'm working on a frame off with an 59 economy jim dandy so as soon as it's done this new Beauty will be next

With all I have going on I still have time to hunt....

Nothing xtra special here... just free.

I didn't see any homeless bus stop photo's but this one is close! Looks like the soup kitchen. Check out that poor soul way in the back. All right, who's the kid with DA BARES coat?

Here's one Geno isn't going to get.

Starting of the diesel on a cold October Day.........

where is the group photo? I remember it being very cold out there waiting on scott lol this is a very good show i am planning on going every year.....

You could make wheel weights, fairly easy. Access to a salvage yard?

Thanks to Scott & his family for a great time once again it was great seeing everybody ! thanks Tim Aka Speedyleedy

A big Thank you to all that attended..What a great time with some great people I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Thanks again Scott for the couch and recliner some of the best sleep I have had....and for leavin the radio on to drowned out some one snoring!! ...Now to sit and wait for next year. Cant wait to see all the other pics..I took my camera and didn't even get it out of the truck . Great seeing everyone!

Here are a few pictures I took on Friday. I think Michael Conley took a ton of great pictures...hopefully, he will post them. Great meeting and talking with you sir!! Here is Scott's 1952 Ford (with a flathead V-8)...this really sounded nice. Here is what it looks like on Friday... Some neat parts that Scott has... T-shirts sent from Lars... It was a great time. Thanks Scott I should have taken pictures Saturday, but I never got back to my camera. BTW...Duke and MJ's glass ware is incredible. Squonk, I have a couple of things to send you from the raffle.

Wow, wow, wow! What a great day we had yesterday!!! I will add more throughout the week as I am still trying to recover from all of the fun! I will say it again, you folks are nuts! So many die hards driving from all over the Midwest to spend the day with us in less than ideal conditions. You are all amazing and I greatly appreciate your friendships! We are proud to announce that as a group we raised $1233 for St. Baldrick's this year. That puts our total over 5 grand in the past 4 years! You are all to be commended for your support and dedication! The raffle prizes/donations were absolutely amazing. What a great lesson in teamwork, compassion, and love! A huge thank you to Michael Biser (racinfool40) and Shana for all of your help the day before. You guys rock! Here are a few photos from RedSquare member Michael D Conley. I will work on getting more up this week! He captured all of the fun and he is amazing at capturing the festivities. Thank you!

When I was gardening up north I would plant buckwheat in any area where the crops were done. If there was still enough time before frost it would rapidly grow to about 2' high and was dense. It looked like it would be a tangled mess in the tiller tines but it wasn't. The stalks are very tender and till in great providing a lot of goodies to the soil. In the spring before I planted I would broadcast buckwheat over the entire plot. It usually wouldn't have time to reach maturity before I tilled it in to plant the crops.

Seed the garden with cereal rye spread out a little straw....but I probably should have bought two bales as I just run out before finishing. Thad (Ohio)

This 1975 Simplicity 7013H will be rejoining the stable. I saw it on Craigslist and HAD to have it back. The seller is also doing the hauling for $25 more than what I sold it to him for. You can't beat that! This time I've picked up a snow blade and snowblower.

Looking great Nick, you do very nice work.

well here's a pic mounted. i made a lift bar out of angle iron. seems to work like it should. i need to get belts for it and get the starter/generator back from the re-builders then i can test and fine tune it.

Go about three posts back and I quoted the post where he said he tried it.

The correct terminology for our affinity was established long ago...

Is that a shorty? You lucky dog. I'm thinkin I want to put together a short frame worker to take to work so I can be stylin and profilin when every one else has to shovel!

The explanation is simple. The football gods have gotten into Duke's apple juice and toilet cakes! How else would you explain the Brownies coming from behind to win again and Romo not blowing a game late. Even the Bears couldn't beat ( as a drunk Dougie Buffone calls them) a "tomato can " team like Carolina! I'm going to sandblast my sun dial and polish my Ouija board before picking this week!

Nice Horse and at an excellent price too! WHA (Wheel Horse Addiction) gets worse or better. Depends on how you feel 'bout it. Makes the forum members jump for joy, company!

Plow is from a Simplicity walk behind tractor. You can measure it across like this.....

I liked to think that the fiberglass hood may have come from the design department trying to come up with the next generation hood in a pre-production form, i.e. concept car. Drawing from my work experience in Engineering I bet the meeting went something like this Marketing: "Hey we want to put one of these newer design smaller twins in a C series tractor. to beat Cub to market" Engineer:"it won't fit under the hood, we need the new hood" Tooling department: "We don't have room in the schedule to make the dies for 18 months." Design Dept. lurking in the back corner: "hey we got a mold out back for the fiberglass prototype" Everyone: "Sweet lets run with it" Production Dept. "Hey wait a minute we haven't laid fiber glass since the Ride Away Senior 83's and Cecil did that. Put the labor hours for that hood at 40 hours a piece. Sales: "Dang why are these new twins so expensive?" Marketing: "Don't worry about, AMC doesn't care how much money we loose, sell them at a loss we just need them in the spring catalog" Accounting: "Dang it Cecil would have never allowed this" Marketing: Well the new boss in Detroit doesn't care and we really really want it. <holding breath and turning blue> 6 months later at the Dealer Meeting Dealers: "fiberglass what the heck is that, that's for corvette's not tractors, I ain't gonna order many because I will never sell them. My customers want steel and reliability not cheap plastic hoods."

Nice pics! I see you got Steve done from the silo!

Where were the mid-mount grader blades? Those would have made short work of leveling!

]well, heres my first go only needs spacers at tractor connection point and some paint. if you can see in pics the bends on the left are tighter than on the right...that is the difference between cold bend and using heat. well, heres my first go only needs spacers at tractor connection point and some paint.

You will have to remove and split the transmission to fix it. Sorry

Man Shawn that is awesomely out of control!! . How do you even try to decide which one to use when it comes time? Probably which ever of the 8 or so that are right up front lol.

How to keep Craig in suspense......I'll show you the draw bar tomorrow.

I don't have a cab myself but I recently saw this one which someone had home built

Brought it home today. Gave it an initial pressure washing.....Gobbs of goop and crap every which place. Seems to be decent. Hydro fwd and rev worked pretty well as well as deck lift. Seat needs some love..... Some hacked up wiring and repairs. Needs new shoes, but has weights on the back side of rims. And 2 like new hi caps to gow with the Tarnished, rusted rears. Steering sloppy. And my first onan.....wow... That's sounds different than the kohler. Do you hear the hydro pump going when idiling?

I don't know about that Mr trouble maker... The C-161 ain't no joke, just about everything on it is new including a totally rebuilt engine..

Those old Fords are so cool. Reminds me of growing up. (Which I never did!) Thanks Steve, glad I could donate some $$$$ and to all who helped and donated a Big THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MJ and I had a great time. Dino and thantos rescued me, I was froze to some of MJ's glass ware, and they unthawed me with some liquid sunshine! ~Duke

Is that Geno trying to cast off his last purchase?

There are tricycle specific forums out there... might find some help there, good luck with it Denny.
