I would like to thank everyone who supports RedSquare, it makes a difference and we are grateful that you help keep this place going. Now one of the fun parts of what I get to do here. When Eston announced he was modeling the C160 I knew that I needed one. I also knew these would sell out quickly and some of you would not have the opportunity to get one, so I bought 2 of them, one for me and one for you! Alright enough of the jibber jabber, who gets the Eston 1:25 C160? The winner is member # 8401 - Hobby Horses Congratulations Jim, I will ship your model soon! Again, thank you to all our supporters and to everyone who makes great!

Most of you guys know that what with the high price of diesel @Achto and I decided not to go to the Big Show but save our money for local shows. It was not an easy decision to make not to go but since Dan took some vacation, we decided to ease our pain and take a little fishing trip to my cabin in the northwoods of WI. Weather was great and despite the skunking we took on a new to us lake we had a blast and caught some fish. Terry @Vinylguy would have been proud of the bass we nailed on another lake! Got the deer and bear fed and also got the Massey running by bleeding out the injector lines and emptying a can of sniffin salts. Dan's reward was some seat time in box blading some roads around the cabin that were gettin rough. Sadly, I did not get any pictures of the fish but rest assured @Shynon @prondzy @Pullstart @ronwh we got enough for our Friday fish fry at the Portage show! Here's one that came out funky.... I think Dan was relieving himself here but the shirt says The Rodfather..... we stopped at a little store for cocktail ice and the proprietors got a hoot out of it! Great weather, good fishing, food & drink what more can a guy ask for! I think the first selfie I ever took! Dan did a fine job mowing around the cabin on the C-125!

The weather couldn't have been better and we had a great turnout.

I wanted to say a big thank you to our Wheel Horse family. We weren’t able to make it last year due to Dad’s health and of course it was cancelled the year before. Everyone welcomed us back, remembered us by name, and treated us so warmly! It really was like coming back home. We had a great time. Emory bought two tractors and I bought one. We got him a Commando 800 for a great deal - $100!! He wanted a project and the 800 fit the bill. We worked for about 1 1/2 hours putting new ignition, fuel tank, fuel line, and cleaning the carb. Long story short, he was riding around by Friday afternoon and enjoying his find that hadn’t ran in quite some time. Thanks to everyone who asked about Emory and how he’s doing. Several people commented on how well behaved he was and how they enjoyed seeing him riding around. Thanks for the warm welcome back we received! We can’t wait for next year!!

Always a great time hangin' out with Jim. Unmatched hospitality at the Parsons. Not always of the camera mind but I couldn't resist trying to get some shots of a loon that was following us around while we were fishing. Jim thought he herd banjo's and decided to take a run up this creek to see where the noise was coming from. Truthfully the creek was the access from this lake to a few other lakes. Like Jim said we ate well on our trip. One night these super thick pork chops cooked over an open fire were on the menu. Learned some thing new about Jim on this trip., or maybe it's just a Navy thing. "Don't run Jim's boat a ground or he will bash you in the face with the butt end of a paddle." I took over the wheel to show Jim a secret fishing spot. Unfortunately I took the wrong path down the creek & got us hung up. Jim had a paddle in his hand trying to push us off from the front, I asked him to move to the back to shift the weight in the boat. While moving he slipped & I caught the paddle with my mouth. No major injuries, just a little bloody lip. Shook it off & continued on our way. Missed seeing everyone at the big show but had a great time on our fishing trip.

More Big Show pics from Friday. I I’ll get pics of the Wallfish Motocycle on Saturday.

Sounds like you guys had a Pullstart Moment. @wh500special Sunfish, Bluegill water.

Thank you Karl for the c160 drawing and give a way. I have a c160, so I certainly appreciate the model. Thanks again.

Here’s a video of the Senior showcase on 6/24/22

Wild Bill at his best

More pictures

@Pullstart please don't ask any more favors. I had to hide my face leaving the fair grounds. Everyone was pointing and laughing at "my" new tractor....

"Stevbo and I raced our seniors... Guess who won...

I’ll upload some of my show pictures from 2022

There was a game camera at the local gas station. Caught @Achto and @WHX?? playin' some strings...

Red Horses, White Clouds, and Blue Sky....Priceless !!! Thanks for taking us to the show.

So grateful to be back at the Fairgrounds for the 2022 WHCC Show! It was rainy at first but the sight of all the red tractors and people who came to enjoy the show early made the long rainy trip worth it! Sun came out later and it was great to see the early attendees everyone and riding tractors around and getting ready for the tractor parade tomorrow! A peek at the raffle tractor is also included in the pics

This has to stop! Unfortunately it won't, chronic bug bite, no known cure...

me and @danweikert21 on our way to the show we are a bit late but we will be there can’t wait it’s the first of many hopefully

Some pictures from Thursday at the Big Wheel Horse Collectors Club Sow. A little dreary and misty at startup. Light rain off and on until the afternoon but plenty of Wheel Horse enthusiasm.

Got it back together and needed to test the the hydraulics cleaned the wiring up still torn between red or gray for the engine dont know yet. I was going with gray but now im leaning towards red..... new lights are coming for the hood need to wire that curcuit still wheels need paint and rear fender pan is being painted tonight.

The other half asked me to get FlowahPowah all ready for her when she gets home so she can go on a nice tractor ride.

@Mrs. Rules Thank you so much for all the get photos. Had a great time at the show . Of course @squonk and I kind of got lost going to dinner for BBQ again. At least you got me in one picture . He he Hope someone got a picture of Ed Dog's nut roaster.

Was so nice to see the high cost of fuel and inflation didn't hinder those truly dedicated to the Wheel-Horse hobby!

We went today and left tonight had a good time hopefully see your there next year

Picked up this nice 60" deck at the big show! It needs some love with belts and bushings but it'll go great on the 520-8. Lots of great people, vendors, and equipment at the show and even more stuff I wish I could've brought home with me lol

More happy folks enjoying the day with and on their Wheel Horses!

Wild Bill is taking guesses on how long it will take for him to get grease on his white pants- as he and the team work to start next year’s raffle tractor!

Great pictures @Mrs. Rules glad to see Santa Claus could make it.

I’m glad I got to see you too buddy. I’ve kept looking at Emory and can’t believe how much he’s grown since we were last here. Time is moving too quickly! On another note, I’ve been thinking about how people from all over the country come together to spend time together with our little red tractors. It doesn’t matter if you have a northern accent, midwestern accent, or southern drawl like me, for just a few short days we’re all family and enjoy the same things. Don’t you wish the world could take just a few lessons from our show?!

Come on Bill…. You and Brian both know who won! I cheated I was running Cam 2😜 Did you at least light it up? Having felt bad for you and Brian I gave you both conciliation cigars for second and third place. At least Brain shared his with Jo🤷

First selfie? ...yeah, well, I'd leave the selfies for others....

OK...1st, there are no 1" axle 6 speeds. All 6 speeds #5060 & #5071 and the 8 speed #5073 are 1 1/8" axles, but are LSD. Don's list is not correct either. Some 310's & 312's have 1" axles and 4 pinion differentials. (#5086 & #110996) All 4 pinion differentials have 1" axles...and all 1" axles have 4 pinion differentials. You are looking for models that have 1 1/8" axles and 8 pinion differentials. These are the #5091, #103907, #103916, #103918 & #110995. This list will help you a little, but in the long run, you will have to go to the Manual and see what transmission a particular horse has.

Drove around the Show for a few hours this morning. After getting home... Old steering shaft: New steering shaft, courtesy of @RJ854 Oops, got the wrong tie rods: Even with the old worn out tie rods the steering is tons better, because most of the play was in the fan gear. Still going to get the right ones.

Great picture. Looks like Muskie and largemouth territory. another picture proving to me that I live in the wrong part of the country… steve
