@19richie66 @PeacemakerJack @ebinmaine My Big Wheel friends, @953 nut and I made a deal! There’s an RJ-58 around the corner too

Can’t leave we’ll enough alone! Rylee drove it for an hour or three, I jump on it 15 minutes and already need to wrench just a 15 amp fuse to the key switch. I found no dead short with my meter, so I hope it was just a fluke! See what I did there? Meter.... Fluke... that was bad as an EB joke...

exactly. I really wish I was there but I have bigger things happening here. Sign is in the yard. It’s for real.

I always hear about the "Other Guy" getting a great BARN FIND. Well today was MY lucky day A guy I work with sent me a picture of a Wheel Horse that was in his uncles barn. It was really hard to tell what it was other than a tractor. The picture was totally BROWN from the years of dirt. He did uncover the ID Tag.....It is a 1994 416-8 He wanted to know if I would be interested? Right!!!! Got it home, sprayed it with cleaner then turned on the water (it was RED underneath the brown) A new battery, a new fuel line and filter. Filled it with gas and checked the oil And then..........Mowed the front yard $400 so what do ya think??

Got this last night, not currently running, needs some rewiring, battery, troubleshooting.....claimed it ran about 5 years ago, 180$ for the whole shabang!!! Not a wheelhorse plow that I can tell, but parts is parts!!! Only real downside, it was a looooooooooooooooooonng drive to get it. Whew!!!! I reflected on some of my life choices, whew!!!!

That's way too nice a tractor for the likes of you... I got a rat 953 that would have been more up your alley! Who the old fart photobombing!?!?! Best go over to Dino's truck and haul an orange genny over to his truck for him! Make sure he's got a seat for me! Looks like yer girl went to Craig's school of improper footwear when tractoring!

Sooo, which one/ones are you taking apart so that you can fit it/them in the camper for the ride home??

Fat chance...have you seen what he drives?

Sorry @WHX24, but we’re having a big time here! Jump in the truck right now and you might make it in time for the cruise tomorrow night😂🤣😂.

Locked and loaded. Heading out at 8 am tomorrow. Hope to be there shortly after 9.

Silly girl... If I were her, I would've called it MINE!!!

Jada named the 953 today..

Richard...now you guys are starting to tick me off ... no more ....I CAN'T take it no more ...I WANNA BE THER!

Glad you found a simple fix and got it going for the girls. They will let you drive it some day.

Leaving in 10 minutes.

The C series are great all around work tractors. The C-80 or 81 (8hp) to the C-160 or 161 (16hp) share all the same parts except the bigger engine. So a 10 HP C-101 is overbuilt in many ways.

Well its a combo of dusty glasses im looking through and maybe my second black and tan !! I’ll try and focus!

Got couple pics between the rain showers today. Back home at 6:30PM to reload for Friday.

Gotta tell ya @pullstart, Riley looks awesome on that tractor! She had so much fun and was an excellent driver! She was always cautious and watching for others!!! I was very proud of her!

And you smell so nice.

There's a photo of yours truly on the C-81 cutting down daffodils with the sickle bar while wearing sandals. Found it.

I'm gonna be bold and bet you are not married

It's ok Randy. They almost definitely fill it up every time with ethanol. That should cancel out all the rain water..... Probably.

Today‘s todo list: 1. get up and have a coffee.. 😂 2. go out and inspect the Potatoes for larves and Beetles.... fight again with Coffeepowder against the Larves 3. Collect the strawberry‘s 4. Mount the prepared parts on the Beast to adapt 5. Barbecue 6. Oh, a Weather is comeing.... upps. let‘s have a Beer yes, what a Day...

We decided to load it up and finish hooking up the fuel line when we get there. See you tomorrow.

Made it to the motel! Excited about the show in the morning! The trailer we used is borrowed, had tires I didn’t trust to make the trip with so bought brand new tires! They are wearing very badly so somethings up with that. It has been a strange trip. While in the high altitudes the side window of our vehicle blew out, just shattered don’t know if it’s the altitude for the conflict in temperature but it made us wake up! Night everyone! We hope to meet everyone at the show!

I'd still start at $300 and you'll probably wind up with it for $400. Start at $400 and you probably won't get it for much less than the asking price. Good deal either way.

Recently picked up this little guy for fifty bucks. I have decided to do a ground up custom restoration job on it. Plans include larger wheels. Rounded rear fender. Older rounded metal seat. Custom metal cast red candy paint job with ivory details. I drove over the road. So the progress will be slow. But here's hoping to enjoy it next year with my grandson. Thanks

It really surprises me what a little K181 on my 876 can do! I sold my old parts truck today and pulled it out to where the tow truck can access it easier. I didn't need to but an excuse for more seat time!

Added some flare to my barn.....

Hapy Birthday @Terry M hope you have a great day.

Just s few photos from the past 24 hours here.As usual we are having a blast

And, they were still rolling in when we left at about 6:00. AND you know how many more come in tomorrow!

Now here is a sad sight to see. Here at work they were doing some work burying utilities in our parking lot. Of course we all know what this machine does but the point is it has been sitting in the same spot for over two weeks in the rain not covered up. And they wonder why it won’t start the next time ! I sure hope they don’t own a WH!!

Eric, have you ever baled hay or straw (square bales), and loaded or unloaded and stored them? If not, you have no clue how bad the dust can be. Want to know more? Contact me and I'll attempt to put you in touch with someone still baling the old way. Spend a day or an entire vacation loading a wagon or six or a dozen in the field on a wagon, or working in the barn. You'll get educated to real dust very quickly. You chop it up to create even more dust.........seriously......

HOW OLD???

Kevin i’m glade to hear it was just a fuse

My first year, in the back row looking over Mike's (Sparky) right shoulder.

Ha, haaaaa, yessssss. another bit closer finished with the Short Frontlift. i concepted it from Metal of the Scrap yard. 2Heavy Fueltank consoles from a Mercedes Truck, that carry‘s a 600litres Fueltank. And 2 another Consoles, the kept heavy Stuff. both made from 5mm Steel, what shall be enough for a 500kilo counterweight Lifter. All Parts are Screwed, to be able to exchange them. i mounted them to use them also as a simple Frontlift for Graderblade, snowplow or similar purposes. The Hydraulics i have in spare from my first FEL concept, but it was to short with 10cm liftheight, to drop the shovel completley. It is able to lift 2Tons, what shall be more than enough for my Purposes. It was a doubleaction cylinder, so that i also be able to Lift the Beast to change tyres. The Lift capacity i need will be 480 Kilos, what is the max. load on Front Axle calculated weight and measured Weight includes FEL, Frontlift and Tractorweight itself. The hydraulics shall be a combination of frontlift and FEL Steering in once. The lower Mountingpoint on the hooks was actually a M10 thread but it will be enhanced to 16mm. The real FEL will be made to use in combination. For that issue i must finish the Frontlift ahead, to see where i have planingmistakes while use now allready things they will be missused what causes their size and measurements differs to my preplaned System. On the other Hand it must be a universal usable for things i still have in schedule, but they didn‘t still exists now. after the Plain mechanics is finished, i put a little Blue color on it, to get it more familar with the Tractor.

No worries @AMC RULES... Trina and I both have been known to wear sandals drivin' around.... Or working on stuff...

I must try that one day but something tells me it won't work.

Hi Randy, Pickups here relativeley expensive. I still search myself for a Pickup, but theyre here in high priceranges if they‘re really usable. especially the Fuelcost is with 1,30€ for an Litre of Diesel and 1,54€ for an Litre of Gas not really Cheap. At this point you calculate double, if the efficiency is given. If you find Pickups, they‘re mostly Ford Ranger, VW Amarok ( have actually a delivery stop) or isuzu Dmax. I have an eye on a Chevy of later 80’s with the 6 cylinder Engine, but it‘s actual owner still needs it.🤔 but if i see the yearly costs in tax and insurance, im hesitate to buy. The Price to purchase was not the Main cost, Tax and Insurance and Fuel increases that to an expensive thing here.🙄 The percentage here in Country is different between pickups and normal Car‘s. Vans and SUV are mostly sold in Cities, where this type of cars make the most sence...😂 I for myself drive in the last 10years just cars with small engines and waste the saved Money in things i don‘t need but i have fun with, like my Horse, my Beast, and in my crazy ideas, i love to realize. But a Trailerhook is in my case at each Car urgently required. 😎

Agreed. Very unique. Ask @JCM....

Lol l gotta clean my glasses!! Sorry!

Dillon is doing some last minute modifications. Trying to make the fat tires not rub. We need to find rims with less back space.

I’ll be following your progress on this one. I’m just finishing up a Ranger for my grandsons. Good luck with it.

I did this was the results
