I have a set of Wheel Horse weights on my C-161. I have a 54 inch snow blade on there and it never flinches so I assume they are doing some good. My dad had the whole set so I put them on when I got the tractor from him. I think they’re pretty pricey today, especially if you have to have them shipped. I also have inside weights on the rears and the rear tires are fluid filled. I’ve never encountered a snowfall it couldn’t handle easily from a traction standpoint.

Found this on Facebook Marketplace he was asking $500. I offered him $250 and he took it just needs a little work 21' by 8' I can do a lot of rustling with this one

This year has been the worst year we have seen regarding the water level in the Brook that runs through the property since we have been here the last 12 years. In September for the Meet & Greet there was no water in it and now after last night it looks like this. However we did lose power from 1.30 am until 9 this morning and I am sure the wind had something to do with it. For those that were here in September remember driving over the very large rocks that we cross over to get to the other side and that is where the first pic is taken. The highest water levels are in the spring with runoff from snow melt and my favorite time to watch and listen from the camp porch.

Got a set on the plow mule.

tis true - was I that made a remote locking diff... and it still works well

Fella had a Deere a few years back with this on the front of it. Amerind Mckissick Mighty Mac chipper. Gave the tractor to his grandson but kept the chipper. He let it set in a tarp garage for 3 years+ then decided it wasn't getting used... So I went and took it off his hands. He gave me the pile of green yellow and black brackets, pulleys, etc he had from the original purchase several years ago. He knew none of them were of mush specific use to me but figured I could either pass them on or modify as needed. Some point or another @Stepney and I will get it hooked up, likely to Cinnamon Horse. Good afternoon project for the local Paint Department.

Turned my 1257 to a roller today....

One of the very fine benefits of this forum is not only the vast amount of knowledge, but the depth of different experiences AND the ability to ask and explain and fine tune are invaluable! I've pushed snow for decades but my driveway is crushed stone and I can see where your concrete would be different and that chains would perform differently on a hard smooth surface as well! My chains dig in EVEN in frozen hard packed gravel, but they would stop at a hard concrete surface and then I suppose have less surface area to grab! I'm still going to say studs or chains for ice, but perhaps not for blacktop or concrete. Thank you! I think that everyday that I learn something is a good day! I'm concerned that I might be forgetting more than I learning though and how long can I sustain that before... KEEP THE GREAT IDEAS COMING!

Read it this morning Santa is not fond of milk Non alcohol bad?

I love our little creek, so soothing to sit a listen to the water going by.

Got a nice fire going in the stables and started on the 655 I snatched up on the road trip. Needs one head bolt heli coil’d, crank seal and a quick valve job. This one is functional but rough, my other 655 is a super clean machine but incorrect fuel tank and governor linkage. Not anymore!

There has been a battle going on in the garage for some time now. Tonight I finally won. The hubs are off. Onward and upwards.

The 315-8 set up for tilling...

Sounds like a plan... Uhm... that ain’t gonna delay Colossus is it...?

I spent so long trying to cook up ways - however decided to go for the coolest and most effective once locked mine is unstoppable, but it is a pig to turn... as the differentials are essential on an articulated tractor!

Here is my 310 and 1277 loader on my trailer, ignore the ugly wheels on the 310, they are not staying. The other implement is my driveway drag. The shed is what my loader is stored in now and also a pic of my 95 Silverado.

GOT IT. Its a repulsion motor. Two winding's one with the black wires one with the red wires. One wire from each winding goes to each line. Reverse wires and rotation is reversed.Surprised they still used them for this application in 1987. The others I have are at least 70 years old.

IDK about all that (I have 3 teenagers) but I did find me a couple more plus this cool TORO job ...

I have 2 sets, front and rear. One set for the plow tractor and the other on the blower tractor.

Thanks....I have no idea Slim... picked them up at a swap meet... thinkin Lane Ranger might have sold them to me ... or did I get the back ones from him???... I CRS. They are supposed to be inside wheel weights but just a burly one from going over the hub. Some day I'll peel them off and machine them a bit. Plow day was not waiting for me so threw the land side on outside. Lots of us plow dogs run dual weights. Hardcore furrow rats even run three or more plus loaded tires. Furrow side only has one. My wallet was as thick as Billy's I would have some suitcases off the front too.

For the reasons noted above regarding surface damage, I plow 3 flat driveways (1 concrete, 2 asphalt) with my C 105 with no weights or chains. No issues...

Nice shin grabbers you got there!

Before I paved my driveway I used chains. Once I put down the concrete in sections I actually found the chains would cause slippage and scarring. I took them off and never have looked back. I used to plow snow with my old 520 and it had just fluid in the rear tires on turf savers and it did great as well. I think my tires are Carlyle but I would have to go past the shed to see for sure. It’s been a while since I put those on there.

Cookies, milk, carrots All put out on Christmas eve All gone Christmas morn

It has been over a decade since I've had a truck, but I think my Crown Victoria fills that roll just fine for wrangling up some horses. To this day people still act amazed I pull a trailer with it, but something about a fully boxed frame, rear wheel drive, V8, and twin-piston brakes up front... more truck-like than people think. If that doesn't get people, I also have a Focus with a 3-cylinder engine I have hauled a few home with.... albeit slowly.

I usually figure each tractor at about 5ft long x 3ft wide. So I think that you could get 8 tractors on there with ease.

Here’s a few:

with any luck, we’ll be opening the back door of the camper and rolling tractors out!

Anyone have pictures of their WheelHorse tractors alongside, in the bed, on a trailer, going on a haul, to and from a show or anywhere else, maybe at camp getting a workout.Let us know your favorite way to transport and why. Also no limit on how many could be transported in the bed of a truck. Post them up. That means you @pullstart .

I think that is your best bet, no telling where you would be when the temporary repair gives out. Fix it now and forget about it. A few months from now you won't even remember how much it cost you, but if it put you on the roadside that would be a lasting memory.

Alright alright I'll let the price slide...

Got the trans all freed up was fighting me a little but working great so coffee milk drain tomorrow and a diesel bath for a bit and some new grease should do it well. Had to bench test it to get it going though gears what better way then to use another horse to do it.

Don't worry about Kev ZXT ..... EB's missus takes care of my light work! So much for CHI's QA department eh Dan? This is why you should whine to them like no tommorow.

The chains on the FEL mark the concrete just moving around. Tire weights and box weight 600, plus tractor and operator. Marks disappear pretty much by spring. The rest are gone when I use the rotating pressure head to clean. I used 1-1/2" front wheel weights on my old C145 and it does seem to give an odd sensation when steering. It helps on the slope to keep front end from sliding.

Ags and tri-ribs with weights! Awesome! I've wondered if that might be a great combo, though I'd think I would need chains as well. I'm a huge fan of chains! My NH TC35 4wd is a different beast with chains! I just got some tri-ribs but I also what to try Wallfish's roller chains on the front too. Love your rear tires! What are they?

Now thats a cup full! You need a steady hand to get that out of there. Soent the morning cooking, the afternoon cleaning down my machines after turning all that cast iron and then an hour milling a new throttle shaft for Fred's carb. Nice bit of 1/4 inch sliver steel with M2.5 threads tapped in. I will have a look at the throttle lever tomorrow. I fancy making it from brass bar rather than pressed steel but we will see.

Fun thread so I think I'll join in! Had to post a pic of one of my multicolor "off brand" loads too lol In the pic of all the horses two of them I don't have anymore and I haven't replaced them with any more horses! What wrong with me!

Nothing makes the wife happier than when you bring home not just 1, but 2 tractors at the same time!

My 1055 Bolens has an adjustable positraction clutch, cone I think and one of the reasons I recently drove 3 hours round trip to bring it home. I'm using it around the place now but I really haven't tested it yet. I've also not done much research about it but I think it's a locked rear with a slip clutch on the left. Not aware of other brands that have this but I read rave reviews and I wonder why we don't see this more often.

Lights and maybe trailer tires. It has P205/75R15 radials on it now. Also need to hook up the electric brakes.

We just had one Esso service station out in the country where I lived, Cokes were a Nickle, candy bar or a small cup of ice cream. You really did pump your own gas with a handle up into a glass container marked with the gallons . That service station is long gone. We lived 6 or 7 miles from 3 small towns, Got to town ever so often to see the steam trains go through. The main North South line runs through all three. We have two country stores now, but one is closed as the owner died. We also had one elementary school about a mile away and it's still there. I still have 4 1/2 acres of my grandfathers farm.

One leaving......rare sight maybe 2......

Truck got bigger, load got smaller!

Looks a little lost.

Two horses and the Sears/Roper. Alas the Land Rover Discovery has departed after many years faithfull work.
