ebinmaine 67,658 #1 Posted October 16, 2022 Me, Trina, and our friend had us a long drivin' load em up n run whirlwind of a weekend. Thanks to @Herder @Handy Don and @ri702bill for supplying tractors, parts, food, drinks, and great conversation. Awhile back Herder had mentioned that he had a 1974 C160 with the Tecumseh engine. He felt I should have it and give it some care. We also picked up a seat bracket that I REALLY like the look of for Colossus. Got a nice solid set of disc harrows. And a 6 speed transmission with Limited Slip Differential for one of Trina's tractors. A few weeks ago Handy Don sends me a link to an ad for the 1045. He was gracious enough to get it to his house for Trina and store it til we could get out there for it. Saturday morning we arose at 5 and were on the road by a little after 6 am. Stopped in Highland NY enroute to Don's place in Croton on Hudson. Buzzed out to Southington Connecticut for the sleepings. This morning we went to W Warwick RI to visit with RI702 Bill and pick up one of his VERY well made greaseable hitch pins. On the road again up 95 495 93 125 16 25 and Home!! Here's a few pics from the journey... Special thanks to Adam (Herder) for this seemingly tiny token. Trina spied this gem in one of his parts tractors I took a hood from... She says to me "Oh! I can't forget a pic of my Prized Possession!" She hadn't seen a real live vintage Wheelhorse key til now. All told we traveled 735 miles. That was a LOT for me. We're home safe n happy and the trailer's covered over til we need it again or the 1045 gets unloaded for her to dismantle. 2 15 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,237 #5 Posted October 17, 2022 It was a pleasure being an agent in getting that 1045 to a welcoming home and to welcome the travelers to my home. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,761 #6 Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) @ebinmaine That’s an interesting disc, doesn’t look like a Brinly. I would be interested in more pics when Trina get it unloaded. Edited October 17, 2022 by oliver2-44 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSraj 430 #7 Posted October 17, 2022 Too bad you didn’t make it to my part of PA. Maybe I could have haggled Trina out of the six speed!🤪 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a big disc size. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #10 Posted October 17, 2022 Glad I wasn’t the only one rustling this week. I drove from NC to Pa just north of the big show fairgrounds to pick up my treasures. Way to much driving but the views were spectacular. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was gracious enough to meet me. Can’t say enough about the guy. That picture I posted was in Virginia on my way back. The colors and the mountains were amazing to this Florida guy. Way too much driving. Left the house at 3am, made it home at 9:30 pm. I was wooped. I tried to take more pictures but it’s hard to drive and operate a camera at the same time. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was the last big trip or project that we had in the planning for this year. Next focus is going to be on getting the workshops moved around after the pole barn is done in a couple weeks. I have a feeling it won't be long before Trina starts attacking the 1045... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
