Pullstart’s Show Videos and Pictures

It kind of got wet.  A little.

Rylee brought her boyfriend Henry this year.  He’s pretty much hooked!  To tractors and to her, I think…. Young love 

 

We’ll start out with them tugging her new 875.  Here’s the link to Jeremy’s build on that.  It’s a project indeed, but has an awesome start!  Like her dad, she’s a sucker for a big fat tire, and he made an offer for ownership she couldn’t refuse.  We’ll touch on that soon.  @Handy Don built an awesome front attach flail mower.  It has tons of lift capability and potential for future attachments as well.

@Handy Don I had the best intentions of being your videographer, and just like that we were on our way home 

 

The D series with the big ‘ole fatties on the rear was the most proportional D I’ve ever seen.  It was perfect!

 

The display with the purple Horse apparently was from Michigan.  I meant to get with the owners, but never found them when I had the time to look for them.  If anyone knows these people, I’d like to tell them hi!  They had some cool custom attachments!

Some I’ve seen before, some new things at the show.  All awesome stuff!

 

One machine I meant to get pictures and details on was @Wild Bill in VA’s Lawn Ranger.  Could you tell about the turn brakes on that?  Was it a rare kit, a customized addition, or otherwise?  Not to mention, the electric lift on it.  Cool stuff!

It was a great year for EZ Ups!  Most things outside got wet, no matter what people tried to do to prevent it.  Luckily, there was no wind to speak of during the rain events.

The yellow machine above, being signed is a sweet shot.  Maybe one of my favorites of the show.  The 604 cruising in the background is Henry’s new rig.  He shopped for a while, trying to find a deal, trying to find a fixer upper to learn some stuff on.  We got this from “Red Man” with the Munsters hot rod rig.  It had some recoil issues and when we took it off to do some work on it, we realized there was no starter cup.  We found a rope start cup and played with a few things like checking the oil, checking for spark, and draining the fuel and tossing some rec fuel in it.  He was pretty happy to be cruising!  After the countless laps during the Friday Night Cruise, it began to smoke and let the rod loose before he could get back to the canopy.  @Raposo, we found a use for that Magnum 8!  Thanks buddy!

@ri702bill  there’s lots.  I might try to count, at least get close.

[Pullstart 62,834]

I told myself not to post too many cruise night pictures, I already did that in another thread… but I wanted to tag a few people it was great to shake hands with.  @zigzag, @formariz, @varn, @JPWH, @12 hp Kohler, @wallfish Thank you for the opportunity to wear the proverbial Skunk Stripe from the motorcycle!  @JoeM and @fast88pu you guys sure build some cool rides!  @Wheel Horse 3D on @roadapples machine too.  That picture was when we first saw each other after Grey and Catherine’s arrival!

... a rolling Wheel Horse Time Capsule.....

Miss Janie.  What a sweet lady.  Mrs. @roadapples gave Rylee one of Mr. Jay’s personal belongings, a piece of his art, and gave us both some of his t-shirts.  @Jrblanke took an awesome picture of Rylee and Janie on a bench.  They chatted for what seems at least an hour one time!

[Pullstart 62,834]

This is Donny.  He sent me home with his cherished 702, looking for a restoration to return next year.  We made a list of his requests and I’ll do my best to impress!

This dude graduated the Pullstart School of Loading with honors!

The Pride Parade  ending with @Wild Bill in VA signing my yellow machine!

 

 

[Pullstart 62,834]

Quite a few cool customs and neat paint jobs…. It’s kind of sad to see @Bear G’s last  in someone else’s possession…

[Stormin 9,981]

Thanks for the photo's, Kevin. Looks like it was a trifle damp in the video. 

[Pullstart 62,834]

There were a good handful of RJ58s in line for the parade.

 

We saw @formariz’s garage sale Lawn Ranger (named Sparkles?) if I can recall.  

[Jrblanke 857]

Here is that picture of Rylee and Mrs. Roadapples.

@Wheel Horse 3D on @roadapples machine too.

Indeed an honor to own Jay's mowin' machine and to bring a bit of him to the show.

Yes Kevin, You mean THE AMERICAN FLAG PRIDE WHEEL HORSE PARADE!!!!!! Here's the picture Brandon DeBaere took with my phone moments before you did!

I saw that woman there and even spoke to her briefly a couple/few times in the barn but did not know that was Mrs Roadapples. Certainly wish I did.

Glad you went for a ride Kevin. Since that thing will skunk you quick on wet surfaces I didn't reall do enough to get her ready for a good ride. Low air pressure in the tires are used for towing so it sits hard on the 4" pipe used for a stand and they weren't aired up for your ride. Something was making a funny noise when unloading it too. You were the only one brave enough to give it go. 3 wheeler got a bunch of test drivers.

I’d cruise that thing to town for milk and bread if I had it!  With that said… you ever get sick of it like the backhoe… I’ll dibs it

She is very sweet, very kind.  She told us how they met when they were quite young, but parents didn’t approve because of age or something, so they hooked up many years later.
