You guys are contagious

[Pete D 253]

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.

You're welcome...

It's OK Pete. You don't have to play with them all the time.

 

Let's go fishing instead.

It's really not us!

We keep warning people about the "horse being heard animals and them being addictive"  

 

And to think, you've only just begun!

My motorcycles are going to get jealous!

(So will my wife...)

[Blasterdad 2,832]

Let us know when you can't remember how many you have, I stopped counting at twelve.  Your fun has just begun....

I noticed you said "motorcycles". 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.

So get her a tractor. Or six.

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.

Had about 16 at one time. Now I'm down to 7 currently. 

 

...Meaning I am a recovering (or at least high functioning) Horse-a-holic!

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.

I'm on my 3rd (and final) wife.  I will NOT be collecting them!

I plan to do several mods.  The gun may have to wait right now, as will a foot pedal.  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.

@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 😁

I MIGHT be a bad influence.

Nope - I'm way too boring to have one. Besides, I have a face for Radio...!!

I am currently at three and happy so far. Last year I had six to many!  I am thinking of flipping a1057 I bought a few years ago at a show. Time will tell.

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.

Same here! C-105 started it all 10 years ago... free to my son in 2015. Still going strong.
