Well the grandsons and I spent some time in the shop Sunday. Work started out with their workbench and working on their toy truck. Work quickly progressed to working on my C160 @dells68 this crew will be available to put the custom touches on your tub cart as soon as their through customizing my C160 PS I suspect their might be a pink tractor in my future. Were told our 1st granddaughter is on the way!

Yesterday there was a big storm in germany. Many trees fell over. So i reactivated the tractor early in the year to transport the wood. regards from germany manfred

We recently updated our kitchen appliances so this fridge is being donated to the shop. I imagine this is still more efficient than the camp/dorm fridge that ices up all the time. Who’s betting that my movement apparatus will work to move across the yard?

Yup...wwwaaaayyy to much time... ain't you canaries got tractors to fix?!?!?

"I've been through the dessert on a sled with no name, It felt good to get out of the rain." "In the dessert, you can remember your name, Cause there ain't no one to give you no shame." Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah,,,etc. Sled with no name.

In the house we went with a bottom freezer drawer thingy. It matched our new stove and was in the scratch and dent section. We found this sweet new function too!

Loading up truck and trailer today for my trip to Florida Flywheelers via Georgia and Alabama! Going to be dropping off some deliveries to fellow Red Square members on the way to Florida where I will see some more Red Square members at Florida Flywheelers!

I had the same problem with the Low Rider Dell. I pushed the seat bucket sides out as far as I could and it is still tight and getting tighter. You may want to make some spacers to push the wheels out a couple inches. Your "arse" will thank you some day. After I had the seat bucket to this point, I squeezed in and found I couldn't get my legs apart enough to straddle the console. I had to rework the front end to clear my legs.

I decided to tack in a sheet of metal to start a wheel tub. First of all, I’m going to have to suck it in tight for my arse to fit between them there tubs! I haven’t trimmed it off even with the tub yet, just experimenting and I had an idea. I laid out a fender line on the metal sticking out with fine line tape. I initially thought I might carry it out the back with a slight upturn kind of like a model t fender, but I almost think it would look more sinister with the tubs trimmed off even with the tub. What do you think? Not committed yet, just playing to see what I like.

Enjoy the Winter snow removal and trail rides to some degree but looking forward to Spring seat time, Anyone else.

OMG, you can't cut up a OEM black wheelbarrow tub! You're on the naughty list now Dells Search wheelbarrow Go kart images and you can get some pretty good ideas to go for the look you want. This is my favorite. It's a peddle car but who ever did it is my hero

Ok guys, I’ve been toying with this idea for a few years and I have most of the spare parts laying around. What do you get when you cross one really worn out wheel barrow tub, a manual trans, short frame, 16 up Briggs Vanguard, flipped axle, and hopefully two trashed suburban hoods welded into one? I don’t know, so what do you guys think? Worth it or just save the parts? Stretch the frame another foot or so or keep it short? Have I lost what’s left of my mind?

I forgot how you are about the kids. LoL Scrub the peddle car

We're forecasted for 6+ here in the hills Thursday. Absolutely looking forward to spring. We have A LOT of wood to harvest this year. Love the forest surrounded seat time the most....

There are only 2 styles of refrigerators in the history of refrigeration that can be called "shop refrigerators and here they are

I'm just waitin', anticipati'n for the next snow to show up. There is a song in there somewhere...some kind of Association. Who's tripping round the streets of the city, smiling at everybody he sees, Who's reachin' round to capture a moment...everyone knows it's Stevie.

Please have a videographer on hand ...we need to see this

I had had that thought earlier as well. I was realizing once again that this website is a very positive place with a bunch of great people..... But we sure don't seem to mind at all when we are trying to get someone else to do a bunch of work. Work might not be the right word. Messing around. Tinkering. Playing with our toys. Those are closer......

I need to stay off this forum, it is giving me a lot of bad ideas. I mean, good ideas.

Ok Kev now we always knew you had too much time on yer hands but now you got the old goats talkin breakfast meats! Ain't you guys got newbies to help and tractors to fix? Now I know why I ain't gettin no help on tighting up a 702 steering issue ......you are more worried about the crap they serve at Mickey Ds's! Tell you what Kev you come to plow day this year and can get yer carcass out of bed early enough I'll make you SOS with home made chipped venison...

Looking forward to Spring myself. Sure do like the ole square body Chev in the back ground of this pic.

Yes, in a way looking forward to spring, haven't gotten a lot of seat time this winter. Hopefully spring will be dry enough to be able to get out in the lawn.

It hasn’t been a very harsh winter, but I too am looking forward to spring. I hope it stays cold long enough to get all the starches in the sugar bush turned to sugars and maple season is a hit... but I’m ready to jump to that and get more shop time with open doors!

Ya very true mud season I agree need to start working on a few things

I couldn't wait, so I made it for dinner.

My father always said if you enjoy doing it it is not work. He would spend hours in the field "playing" on the Christmas tree farm. It was his WH that I inherited.

i know how to make it snow, just take off my snow blower ! i would still leave on my two 42 " blades on my other two. so far this is the winter that isn,t , what we had was easily cleaned up . regular rain often, temps in the 40,s ,windy. i think with the ground warmth it will make any snow fall short lived, even the moles and the rabbits are out. on the other hand my son in northern vt , just had 15" + . kinda weird , waiting to get kicked , maybe in April , we did get 27 " in April years ago , buried the stop signs, pete

Sorry, no video proof... but it didn’t take much to get everything in motion and keep it moving.

Flames, its got to have flames. it sure is easy to toss out these ideas when someone else is doing the work!

Bought the belt guard for the Burns, gonna get some funds together, buy my almost brand new briggs, and get the restoration going.

You know as we get older we like to get things a little easier to get through the day. The thought of having my knees that high up in the air while driving a tractor.... nah! I does look cool ! Dont forget

Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen. The Dell / Roth version coming up!

I can see it now!

I like it. Kind of a T tub vibe. How about a vertical windshield and a pair of gas light lanterns either side of the windshield where the cowl would normally be. Big wide back tires and maybe skinny bicycle wheels and tires up front. Oh ya - big tall shift lever with an 8 ball knob.

Naw Ed thats just extra weight to slow a guy down ...does add some coolness tho .... me thinks you should have a chat with Mike @prondzy ! His is a blast to tool around in! Way to quick for me Richard!

Stefan, we just had some wet heavy snow come through the Midwest US. It’ll probably hit @ebinmaine next, then skip right across the pond to Southern Germany! I know, I’m about as accurate as a weather lady but no where near as cute...

I used the greaseable Heim joints, threaded rod and bolts on the low rider build.

A sea of red (4 coats)

Has anyone tried the bare metal look on a tractor? I'm sitting here looking at the beauty in the swirls in the metal and thinking hmmmm... what would it look like to spray clear on it to seal it. Just a thought for now.

I mounted my new 6-12 Carlisle 6 ply ag tires and fitted the hood and fenders on, I have a lot of little things to do still but I am sure liking how it is coming back together. I have a picture of the old tires next to the new and you can see the difference. Now I can nice it outside and adjust my carburetor and check to see if my charging system works.

Just wanted to show off my grand baby Emma. I thank the big man upstairs everyday that this blessing has been put in me and my wife's life. We have had alot of stress over the past 3 years and having this cute little turd has been the biggest blessing in the world to us! God is good!

That is exactly what I call it - playing. When I get a chance to play in the garage, I almost feel guilty that I'm enjoying time doing something I enjoy by myself. I guess we all need a little therapy and mine just happens to be playing with horses.

That’s my wife’s sled... the girls mainly drive it now. I’ve never thought to name it actually. Good idea!

As long as you don‘t do a quick movement.... great!

I forgot to take a picture of the back of the hangers, but I made a tall /\ shape on the back with 100% silicone to shed any water that might get behind the hangers.

Any weights for 12" wheels will work. You are not limited to wheel horse brand.

Seems like I remember reading that in the late sixties or early seventies there were over 20 attachments available. I think if you were to build a raft big enough to hold the tractor and a couple other things... then just below the PTO cut a slot so a belt could go down to the bottom of the raft. Some sheaves. Some pulleys and a few u joints. Couple of 90 degree gearboxes or something. Voi-la! Kohler powered Wheelhorse containing life raft.

Brings back memories of this pile of junk.

Roll cage, wheelie bars, 5point harness, and parachute may be required.
