Hello from St Louis...My name is Chris and we finally got horsed

[Monkalunka 7]

Hi folks,

well Colby (my 9 year old son) and I did it...we got Horsed!!!!! We are new as new can be as of 7 pm last evening we bought our horse off ebay from another member of the RedSquare. We have no experience at this but we have alredy been through R/C cars trucks helicoptors and even tricked out gas scooters. Se we decided that it was time to go big or go home. Colby has always loved tractors and he picked this one out. He wants to go a little away from the norm of what we have seen with most of the pics, we are going to go resto-mod with this one and yes he wants a stack. So we are going to try and keep all original paint then the extras will all go to a flat black including wheels and stack. After this one gets all done then I get to buy one an I want to go big. We appreciate all of your help and sure that we will be on all the time with questions and checking out what everyone else is doing.

Hey there Colby and Chris, I really like that new tractor you just got. Are you guys sure you want to change the color though? That red patina is kinda sorta what makes our Wheelhorse tractors so special. Either way you decide to go with it, I just wanted to say...welcome to RedSquare guys. Glad you're both here.

welcome to hthe redsquare

[Monkalunka 7]

^{we are keeping all of the Red Patina, that's the cool part...the xtra parts we are going to a flat black...really anything that is not original to the tractor and I think that we are going to also go the black on the wheels. now the next one will be all original, but that is a while away. i have to say that we have caught the Wheel Horse bug.}

Welcome to RS. I'm south of you about 60 miles, near Bonne Terre, Mo. It looks like you picked up a pretty nice Wheel Horse and a round hood at that. Again, welcome.

[Monkalunka 7]

Thanks T-Mo, yeah I leave out early tomorrow morning to pick her up. Good to know that there is someone close, shoot I'm down past down Bonne Terre all the time. I have a truck driving school down in Mineral Area College.

And the big trailer.... :handgestures-thumbupright:

[Monkalunka 7]

:help: well the trailer is not a problem...we will have to see on the cash issue I already went over on what I "wanted to pay" for a tractor...but I have to say that I dont think that I could have gone over budjet on a better Horse! I just hope that Bell doesnt accept credit cards. LOL then I would need one of my 18 wheeled vehicles to head in for the pickup.
