Do these tires make my rear look fat??

Gotta have as much ground contact as possible on the back of my Super C when I'm using it to pull up small stumps, shrubs and the like.

She sure do. Here's a shot of the changeover from show tires to work tires.

Just a couple around the house...

I can play too

Im in " I like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie "

At first I thought this may have been a different sort of invite.

Oooo oooo I can play!

So I went to a few garage sales today. Picked up a 10 drawer top box for an old 1960's Craftsman bottom chest I had. I also picked up these. I couldnt pass them up for what they were asking. These are vinyl decals that would go on the doors of your truck, side of a trailer, your back window.... where ever you want to put them I guess. I bought 2 sets of door decals and 2 rear window decals. I was going to put them on my truck but chickened out. I am not a " biker" anymore and when I was I never owned an Indian. I dont know what to do with them but I kinda want to go back tomorrow and get the rest of them..... I know Im funny like that. Any ideas what I can do with them?? Any Indian guys?

Just have fatties on the 212, but they more look more cute than impressive.. 😎

If you get bored just build something and use the stickers. I built this Indian over aweekend awhile ago out of a dumpster bike and junk laying around

Just for fun....

Not completely ready for the road yet, but widest tires I have among the WH's.

Saaawwweeet Alex... same hitch I got for my Super!

Party at Sparky's

Those are awesome! I had the good fortune to be able to ride one of the new Indians a few years ago out at Sturgis and man are they nice machines. The best word I keep coming back to as a way to describe them is smooth. From the throttle response, braking, shifting, cornering, everything about that ride was just smooth and a really enjoyable experience. I love the bikes, only wish I could afford one . I had it for the day so my brother and I rode all around the Black Hills. We started with Breakfast at a little coffee shop inside an old gas station in Deadwood (one of the coolest towns I've ever been to) The Indian front and center in the picture is the one I was riding, a Chieftain Classic. Then stopped at the Pactola Dam and Reservoir which is absolutely gorgeous. And ended the day going up to Mount Rushmore...man that was a good day.

Not my tractor its a friend of mines. His has one of the biggest rear ends I have seen.

Here's some fatties. LOL

Relatively clean installation of all the brake hardware today. Pretty much just watching the paint dry on this thing now.

Hydro 10w-30 yes, 5.5 quarts bone dry, fill up using the dipstick and recheck after start up. Drain plug in the center, bottom right behind the hitch and requires a 1/4" allen hex wrench. can be tight. When refilling you can remove one of the 3/8" bolts holding seat pan assy. to allow air to escape and the oil to fill much faster.

Poppy was a blast to toss together! I sure would have loved to see a dual belt guard sticking out the side, but all in all, it’s a beast the way it came out! here’s my two ‘62’s, the 502 Putt Putt and 552 Poppy!

Took a cruise around the entire 120 acres tonight... With the 520 XI, Putt Putt, Poppy and Hot Wheels, along with my wife and two awesome friends!

When equipped with a 426 Hemi Mopar advertised the Charger at 425hp. I agree with Squonk, the next step up in hp from a Charger 12 was the Bronco14.

Buy the remaining decals then the next time a bunch of Angels are inside a bar having a brew, stick Indian decals on their Harley's

Came to me with virtually brand new set of Carlisle front ags, and a nice set of original Goodrich Silvertowns on the rear. Going to replace the rears with a new set of Carlisle Tru-Powers and swap the Silvertowns to an up coming RJ-35 project.

Best movie, The Worlds Fastest Indian, staring Anthony Hopkins as Bert. Bert's 500 cc Scout was a 1920, I had a 37, a buddy has a four cylinder Chief.

Thanks put alot into complete rebuild,hope all goes well

I sold the 312 H today, a tear went down my face as it pulled away.....then I got a picture of where it would be living, and its near a 414-8, not quite as clean, but maybe the 312 will rub off some of its habits.....Its indoors, and the new owner told me he needs to clean his 414...HMMM ....old and new....258 Hours

Three weeks!

So I went back to the garage sale today and bought up the rest of the decals. The guy was busy so I couldnt really talk to him. I did ask if I could take a picture of his bike he said yes ... here it is. He told me he used to restore old pick up trucks and use these decals on some trucks. Said he did a 46 Chevy not long ago and sold it through Barrett - Jackson. Anyways I will post a pic of his bike here and pics of the decals in next post. His licence plate reads " SCALPD"

Saw these Indians on the way to Gettysburg for the Big Wheel Horse Show in 2018! some pretty nice looking machines! check out the Jim Thorpe Side Car Tourz. Com website for more Indian photos!

They may not get Crazy Horse done in my lifetime, but in the museum they have a nice Indian MC on display. We had breakfast in a gas station in Deadwood too back in May of 2019. No Indians parked there, but there was one sitting on the street nearby.

Mike, make sure your Sundstrand has motor oil in it now. It should be amber in color. If it is pink in color, then it has ATF and you don't want to mix the two fluids. If it is amber, then use the 10-30 engine oil like Joe says, not hydraulic oil or heavy gear oil or ATF.

This rat rod was my inspiration

Those ‘mud mowers’ are gaining popularity and hold up quite well actually. Many are using lesser quality mowers and vertical shaft engines (still don’t know how they keep a belt on submerged in mud!) but they go through transmissions often. The ol’ wheel horse trannys are pretty tough so a few run em. This is ‘wheel’n horse’- a very well used and abused, nearly not worth saving 654 I threw together for trail riding. It does surprisingly well, and will run 28mph flat out.

Again I used a Ross Steering unit from a Cub on my second WH custom. Built for wheel stands, gripping the wheel could be a matter of life or death. The tower and steering components had to be capable of holding a man as if he were hanging over a cliff. Since I don't weld I bolted on a section of frame for the tower that had the transmission plate. I had to cut down the steering column so I could use a deep quick release steering wheel. A mule pulley housing mated the column to the tower as strong as if I had welded it all together. To soften the landings I cut to size porch swing springs to replace the sections of axle I cut off. A 4" pulley on the engine and 3" on the trans makes a perfect all around 2nd gear. Third bogs down and first is too slow for me.

This Tractor was buried for almost 18 years under paint cans. hay, gas cans, random junk... old and new after 9 months of love

What size? looks nice 👍

Alan Get ahold of this gentleman here and he'll get you fixed up. You look at restos here your going to see his work. Terry is his name. He's well know around here and has top notch decals. Does custom work as well. https://www.redoyourhorse.com/

Those hubcaps are probably worth more than the tractor...

Other than putting Poppy together yesterday, I stuck Rylee on Hot Wheels and tossed a drag together. Jada ended up putting herself in a large cardboard box to guard from the sun and wore some safety glasses while riding the drag. The driveway looks much better, but still needs more drag work!

700 Workhorse , found it on Facebook Marketplace and it's now home after a 175 mile round trip road trip. my plan is to ditch the incorrect engine and install a good H70 i happen to have ready. then grease it up , fix a few things, sharpen the blades and go mow. tires seam to hold air i'm kinda diggin' the headlights , they may stay!

Be happy to repost! We never did get to trying the grader in the snow but I think it would work ok IIFF the front was WELL weighted. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoE6R9_IV0xE7vteRSxtsvg

Put them in the classified section and see if there’s any interest...? Or, they would make a Great Wall decoration in your garage... kinda a horses and Indians theme...

Thanks @Mickwhitt Added last coat of stain tonight. If it not raining tomorrow I'll be dropping off with the new owner. And leaving with a pocket full of moneys:)

I'm going to change this up a bit.... What have I done for my I bought a York rake a while ago It's 6 foot wide and weighs about 400 lbs, it really does the job. BUT It's a god awful color I couldn't take it anymore. So.... What'd ya think I like it a whole lot better
