Santa I may not be the highest on the Nice List, but I try. There surely could be lots of tractors, tools and red paint on my list. But I want more than that. Im thankful for the wonderful people on RedSquare. I call them friends even though I’ve never met them in person or shook their hand. My wish is a huge one! True Peace on Earth seems to be an impossible thing. But could you make the the people in the rest of the world at least a little more like this place called RedSquare. Love you guys. Jim G

In-laws have been asking my wife and I what we wanted for Christmas this year, and we never gave them an answer. Finally my MIL said to us the other day "well you guys are more practical and hard to shop for, so how about if we just get you a cord of firewood" sounds great...no argument on that from my end. With heating oil prices still up, having lacked time to cut or split much this year, and my firewood shed almost empty it's perfect. Got dropped off yesterday morning, and with the storm approaching I got right to putting it away. I now present, yesterday morning, a story in pictures. They dropped it off in the perfect location. Needed some inside, much easier to use a WH rather than carry it up. It's not a long long walk, but any excuse to drive a tractor is taken by me. My favorite thing in my house is the ability to load my firewood into the house through the garage. Esme was sad she didn't get to come join me outside though. On the return trip, decided to move the mower decks down to the shed for the winter to clear up space in the garage. All loaded up. And put away neatly. Only problem was, after measuring I realized that they dropped off less than 2/3 of a cord. So now they are coming back Monday to confirm, and then drop off the remainder.

Ima gonna be selfish this year, ifn’ it fits in the sled, you can drop off a cherry 42” side discharge deck for the 416-8 I picked up. Bring the scientists new stuff to help find a cure for childhood cancer.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas to my red tractor loving fans. It's been another year, and it's time to get the reindeer motivated to make this year's trip. I have been busy checking my list and let me tell you a few of you have been very, very naughty this year. You know who you are. It's not too late to fix it, but time's winding down. Christmas will be here Sunday. Well, Red Squarers, it's time for breakfast. I hate to miss too many of those. Hmmm, pancakes and sausage......and a lot of butter and syrup. Doesn't get any better than that. I got to keep my weight, er, I mean, my strength up. Before I go get my breakfast, go ahead and add on to your list of what you want this year in your replies here. I beefed up my sleight with extra overload springs, so I'm sure my reindeer can handle the extra weight.

I’d settle for some more meat in the freezer and a healthy family! Merry Christmas Everyone!

But in my defense, I identify as "Nice"... Not much on my list: I'll take a NOS E-141, NOS LSE, and NOS WH Pedal Tractor in the box. If you can't fit these in your sleigh, we know a guy - @Pullstart - that can help your elves with loading... Merry Christmas!

I was in need of two items. Exhaust valve for my C125's Kohler engine and a drive belt for my recently acquired B80. Tried various place over here in the UK. No valve anywhere at a reasonable cost. Like wise a drive belt. Local Toro main stealer wanted £70 for one. So had a word or two with Stevasurus and Squonk to see if they could help. That resulted today on a package containing the required valve and belt. Mike posted the package on the 16th of this month and it arrived at my abode today the 22nd. Six days from the US to the UK. Bet that cost me you say? Not at all. Just under £70 for valve, belt AND postage. Best Christmas presents I could receive, even if I have paid for them myself. Big THANKYOU Lads.

A cure for all cancer would be great....we have made some strides in treating it, but still not enough. It's good to have places like St. Jude, Shriner's Hospital and others. They have been helping, not only treating children with cancer and other ailments, but have house families of these sick children for free. It's also good to have people donating to those places as well.

Peace on this third rock would be a nice gift. I would be very grateful for health and happiness for my family, friends, and Wheel Horse Brothers. I don't really need anything from the sleigh, but I'll leave the lights on if you want to find me an say Merry Christmas to all.

You ain’t targeting Blitzen is ya? Hey Santa, things getting real this year for ya.

Merry Christmas you old red horse worshipers!

To all my unmet friends hear on the form, I wish Health, Happiness and Love on this birthday of our greatest gift, Jesus. Bob

1- Well heck yes they'll keep curds warm. 2-

Here are my pedal tractors, I took them out for a picture in the snow. The one on the right was done with the gold decals to match my 314 50th anniversary, the one in the middle was bought on eBay and shipped in a hot water tank box via Greyhound bus, the one on the left I bought at the big show when it was brand new (with pull behind cart), the previous owner put it together and took it to the show.

Sneak peek of the brakes.

Tried my best to be good this year. If nothing else I was good at serving as a bad example. I just wish for the health & well being of my family as well as my extended family. If there is room on the sleigh I wouldn't mind a small lathe, not a necessity though.

Hhhmmm... gotta ask... two questions: 1) do these gloves keep curds warm? 2) is @WHX?? gonna still respect you?

It snows in Michigan? In December? Really?

I spotted this trailer on Route 1 in Scarborough Maine today. When I noticed that every single point of movement on that roll up door had a grease stain, I immediately thought of our own Greasy Pete. Figured he would get a kick out of this along with a few of you folks.

I wish everyone good health and happiness. That's all you need in life. We'll maybe a Wheel Horse in the yard... that might fall into the happiness category though. Happy Holidays everyone!!

@ebinmaine ah yes the stain of protection ! better than powdery rust , have a good one , pete

The 3 year old Whirlpool fridge quit but it was just an over- freeze from leaving the freezer drawer open accidentally. Left it off for 8 hours and all's well again. All 4 lbs of bacon saved. Christmas came early to this household.

Merry Christmas to all, and the best for the new year. I can't think of anything to add to a list. May all or your tractors start quick, and run without a miss or sputter. Our long distance family is all out of town, so it will be just Grandma and I this year. Quiet warm house sounds pretty good. Likely Skype or a zoom call will bring us together. Do not forget the reason for the season. God's greatest gift to man!

Just started to snow 10:15 EST

I try to be nice, doesn't always work out that way, but I try. As far as a wish list, always the same for our family, friends to get together and share the love. #2 son won't be here this year, so that a bit of a let down, but other than that, there's nothing I need. Now if some nice Santa out there wants to drop off a one of those nice LSE's, I'd give a nice home. Don't know what I'd do with it other than stare at every once in awhile and polish it. Barely got room for the working tractors.

If Blitzen dropped his antlers, I suppose my tag would work! It’s non-binary “antlerless” you know!

It is your moral duty to go on a mission from God to go find out Joe... while yer at it make an offer on the tractor. Just like you to look at the beach ball... check out what's on the end of that pipe! The holy grail of mufflers???

Looks like even people no where near a lake will be getting lake effect snow. We are anticipating single digit temperatures and snow in the mountains of North Carolina. My plan of action is to stay inside until it warms up above free3zing and let it melt next week. 39 °F°C Precipitation: 15% Humidity: 100% Wind: 0 mph Franklin, NC Thursday 7:00 AM Cloudy Temperature Precipitation Wind Thu 50° 11° Fri 15° 3° Sat 26° 8° Sun 34° 13° Mon 41° 21° Tue 45° 23° Wed 51° 29° Thu 56° 37°

Looks like it’s time to get the chains on, make sure the oil is fresh, and the battery is fully charged. I can’t remember ever looking at a forecast like this. Eastern Lake Erie is even worse. May be pushing tree limbs as well as snow.

That was way back before Wild Bill got the white pants.

Same as normal, mIKE. Steering wheel on the right. BTW. Package delivered by our young lady postie dressed all in Santa gear.

Even though there is no official ranking, the Wheel Horse's Tach-a-Matic system is the putative pinnacle of tractor attachment systems.

So @peter lena and @ebinmaine...

Well, to close out this thread, here is the finished product. Couldn’t have done it without all your help. Still need to finish making the wings, but it should be ready to blow some snow when this big storm is over. Took a lot longer than I had intended, but sometimes life gets in the way.

I want my family to feel that bringing Reese the rj home is a dream I've always had and they'll realize how important it is to me and my uncle Ryan and that we'll bring it home oh and also id like 420 LSE N.O 1. Kollin

Stop acting like you don't know!

Had to put mine on mute, woke up the wife and the cats scattered in all directions.

By the time I was done clearing snow in single digit weather last night, I was comfortable except my fingers were super cold. Then of course there is the extreme pain that comes when they start warming up again. When the pain went away I sat down with my computer and hopefully solved this issue from happening in the future. Will give a report on how well they do or don't work as soon as I get a chance to try them out. https://www.amazon.com/BIAL-Rechargeable-Electric-Operated-Snowboarding/dp/B0B9SLPKMZ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=UBE09N2IF9VN&keywords=heated+gloves&qid=1671670142&sprefix=%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyVFFUUjU2Q0g2N0w4JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDMzNDc2S0FOQ01HS1BVUE05JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzMzM0NzMzRlRWWVBWQUg3VlowJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

@peter lena

My snowmobile trailer had grease fittings on all the hinges. The grease keeps out water to prevent freezing and pushes out the road salt.

I took this picture last summer when I picked up a NOS deck (for vertical shaft B-series tractors). The guy was selling the decks for his grandmother, whose husband had a Wheel Horse dealership. He didn't say the tractor was for sale, and I didn't ask. I've been thinking about it on and off ever since, and in my mind have been picturing it in my garage. Does anyone know the model and approximate year?

Four 36XR01 decks. The fifth was in my van when I took the picture.

As they say in Ireland: “Rain with occasional cloud malfunction"

Merry Christmas, Mike!

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm not telling if I'm Naughty or Nice.

Did he ever...? Don

Thank you for looking out for us... @Pullstart in particular really appreciates it...
