HyperPete 439 #1 Posted March 2 Damn. I came here 2 years ago with 1 simple wheel horse with a front end loader. A month or so ago I asked about & bought new rear tires. (With beet juice.) 2 weeks ago I asked about a rototiller & plow for my tractor. Now, in the last week, THIS happened! You guys are a BAAAD influence! And THEN, to start working on these, I picked this up for $100. With $100 - $200 worth of modifications, it will be a very capable cabinet blaster. Here it is with the rear fenders for my '73 inside. 9 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This statement tells me that your wife already knows that you like to collect things. I would not recommend that you start to collect wives though. The maintenance on one wife is already time consuming enough. 10 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 8,922 #12 Posted March 3 (edited) Nice score on the HFT Cabinet. I have the same one - did i a few mods to make it usable. Lowered the internal screen to fit taller parts. Improved the lighting. Tossed the awful gun & pickup tube. Replaced with US device and relocated the pickup to the cleanout door. Added 2 10" pneumatic tires on the left end. Inflate them to move the cabinet, deflate them when in position. Added a dust collection using a 5 gallon pail with a gallon of water as a particle trap. Suction provided by a shop vac ALL there are in YT videos. Edited March 3 by ri702bill 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would not recommend that you start to collect wives though. The maintenance on one wife is already time consuming enough. Once, in my early 20s I had two girlfriends at the same time. I lived two hours from one, three hours from the other, they both knew about the other, so there was no daily face-to-face time requirement and no effort had to be put into sneaking around, and it was still exhausting. I can't imagine how I'd have done it if I'd hung on to both of them. Although I have also been told that the one I broke it off with literally stressed the next guy to death. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have some upgraded parts on my old HF pressurized blaster I may steal. I have been watching YT vids and joining HF modification groups on Facebook.

MainelyWheelhorse 954 #18 Posted March 3 @Pete D The same thing happened to me…. I’ve only been a member since last May, I started with trying to figure out what I had when I got my 312. Currently I’ve got the 312-8 and recently got a 308-8. Once the snow melts, where I live I’ll have parts enough from @ebinmaine to build another running 312. And still have a Workhorse parts tractor. Not to mention the implements like my plow and the extra mowing deck and attach o matic I have. They are definitely an influence 😁 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ML3 1,435 #24 Posted March 3 (edited) I went from 1 $200 C105 to 7 Wheel Horses in just a years time! (That was in 2023) Probably good that I'm outta room for any more tractors. Have plenty other toys taking up space as well. Edited March 3 by ML3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
