dells68 7,498 #1 Posted June 21, 2023 I’ve not had any time to visit lately due to work, various projects around the house, working on my Dad’s truck, getting my CDL, and bus driver training. I got a call from a friend who mentioned a member of our tractor club had passed. Turns out he had a 418-8 stored under a tarp. His widow wanted to know if he’d be interested in the WH. She gave it to Emory to work on. It has all of its parts, even though some aren’t on it now. The engine is free and Emory wants to get it running and restore it. I know I’m good condition these bring good money, so I’m very thankful for her giving it to Emory knowing he has plans to get it going and looking good again! 6 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #8 Posted June 22, 2023 Thanks guys! We’re not getting to come to the Big Show this year, so this was perfect timing that Linda wanted to give this to Emory! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would have loved to have came, but with everything we’ve had going on this year, it just didn’t work out. I hope that we will be able to make it next year! I’ve seen some Facebook posts that Lowell, DJ, and several others are coming that we haven’t had a chance to see in a while. I hate to miss all of the fun!!! Wmory does say that we will be there next year with his 418! We did add two new to us cousins to our stable in the last couple of weeks. Emory got a Farmall A and I just bought a C. Guess my sickness will never subside! 1 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are going to the Thresher’s reunion in Denton next weekend. You should go if you can, it’s the biggest tractor show I’ve ever been to!

I looked like Santa on meth in my CDL learner’s permit! I shaved it before I got my full license so I don’t look like I belong on the post office wall!! On a positive note, we got the 418 running and she purrs like a kitten, just needs a fuel pump. Electric lift even works as it should!! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as you…. Too much happening. Right now I would rather spend money on a “shop” than gas and a hotel room. You guys have fun there.
