ccs002 Â Â 75 #3 Posted June 24, 2023 I picked up a mower and snow plow for my suburban, a mower for my 856, and a fender pan I'm not exactly sure which tractor is going to get just yet. Very happy with my little haul and can't wait for next year already! 5 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don   12,216 #9 Posted June 25, 2023 Last year I bought a tractor. This year my goals were a LOT more modest. Very happy with my array of small purchases: - 6-12 chains, a slot hitch, and a clean, straight, and uncracked seat pan for the 854 (thanks @rmaynard) - 22 x 7.5 chains for the worker - belt tensioning springs for the flail mower - spare set of dozer plow springs - spare D hydraulic cylinder for the custom front lift - sleeve hitch pin  and, HOORAY, a replacement for one lost thumb screw for the 854 hood--symmetry returns at last (it bugged me every time I got on that tractor to see the temporary bolt) 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk   41,079 #10 Posted June 25, 2023 I first met Jay (Roadapples) about 8 years ago. We both got a lot of laughs from each other's posts but we had never met. Jay was driving his C-160 with the loader and back hoe by my spot and had the "Horse Mask " on the hood and he activated the "Whinnie horn" I waved him over and a friendship was born. Jay's brother Guy gave me the mask and horn at the show which I didn't know was coming. I had a hard time controlling my emotions. I don't think I could have come home with anything more valuable! I will install the horn better in the coming days.     2 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel the same way about this and it's the best thing I came home with. Jay's brother, Guy asked if I would want his RS banner. ABSOLUTELY I replied! It will be displayed at my canopy every year I go and I'm very glad to have it !  1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never saw the guy before he made me a good deal on a 36 inch rd deck , then I asked about the tires. He gave you your money back . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish   16,994 #18 Posted June 25, 2023 BUT, I Waldoed something from the @Wild Bill collection! A very meaningful gesture and a simple tractor part that's very important to me. Bill was nice enough to provide me this hood from his collection of stuff and also sign it for me. This will have to end up on a custom and drive through the parade. We'll see if he can spot it before spilling the beans.    3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, I got Waldoed outta some nice 6-12 tires and never did find another set. That was actually kind of a funny deal there in the back huh? I don't actually need them so glad they found the right place to go!!!!!!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a member on here who somehow had managed to acquire several NOS tractors over the years. Unfortunately, those and many other nearly new tractors had to be liquidated in order to satisfy the requirements of a divorce. Where they went was always a question, but they showed up this year at the show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just looking for a Rd deck and saw the tires leaning against the wall. Figured I would need some rear tires to replace the set that came on the Waldomobile that SIR Skunky sold me last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
