Roadapples Wheel Horse Collection

[Ed Kennell 38,170]

I just got home after spending the day with Jay's brother Guy.     We met at Jays early this AM and I took pictures and inventoried his collection of Wheel Horse tractors, implements,  and parts.

After I recover, I will list the collection in our classified for all members to see.    Hopefully I can get it done this week.  I have around 50 pics to load and add descriptions.

 

Stay tuned.

 

BTW, Guy said Jay did not want any formal service.     Let's just keep him in our good memory file.

You’re a true gentleman Ed!  Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!  If a guy from MI were to make a purchase, could it be stored until Big Show time?

[Ed Kennell 38,170]

Yes, we plan to deliver prepurchased items to the show for pick up.

@Ed Kennell Make sure @Pullstart  pays double for storage . Especially that  ugly tractor that Jay stored for him at the BS.

 

You are truly a gentleman who looks like for friends.

Ed, I don't know it it will be available but I would like to purchase Jay's Horse mask that made the "Whinny" sound if possible

First time I met Jay he came up to me wearing it. I'll always remember that!

Not sure about the gentleman stuff Jim.        But when Jay learned of his cancer, he told Guy, "when I pass, call Ed to dispose of my collection".

 

So, I'm just fulfilling the request of an old friend.

I'd say your fulfillment qualifies for gentleman.  

Also All Around Awesome Dude.  

[Ed Kennell 38,170]

While all the "experts" are here, help me out.        Jay has a Simplex.  Were they associated with the Ponds in any way?   I didn't think they were, but Guy said Jay thought they were.     I need to verify so I know where to list it and if it can be brought to the big show.

Oh, I need to check.     It is a Speedex Mike.   Is that a legal Wheel Horse product?

Speedex was started by Harold Pond.

LoL  -  legal

Lots of people collect those including non WH collectors but the bigger WH collectors should want one.

I would like to have something of Jay's to keep. I don't need any more tractors but if there's some of the other stuff like Mike is asking about Count me in.

yup.  And Elmer used to build them for Harold.  Until Cecil convinced Elmer to part ways   and the rest is history!

Thank you for doing this… It matters.

Nope not a wheel horse. I remember one year at the big show someone wanted to bring one in and they were politely asked to get it off the grounds…
