Pullstart 62,894 #1462 Posted April 27, 2019 It wasn’t much too far, maybe just over a mile. We averaged about 8 mph on the trip home... but for the wheel weights alone, it was worth the haul! Plus a complete Kohler 12! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super-C 4 me 612 #1472 Posted April 29, 2019 Good Morning, Few in my mirror this past weekend Bush Hog with Wheel Horse wheel weights It's a bit ruff, but let me what I can do with it. Second I saw a Speedex with inside rear wheel weights So I grabbed that tractor to And I still had room in the bed of my truck so this little guy jumped right in. My first at anything other than Wheel Horse. Speedex, so I'm hearing is related to Wheel Horse. Or at least through blood, Brothers??? The Bush Hog is just a heavy duty tractor, I can't believe how thick the metal is on this tractor. Hopefully get it running and moving again. Both the Speedex and the Bush Hog came with plows and mowing decks. And the Mowette Mustang, I believe my Grandfather had one of these. I used to mow his lawn all the time. Bringing back some childhood memories. Can't wait for my next day off, 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a story that starts out way before the brand name "Pond" or "Wheel Horse." It starts out with the name "Shaw." Elmer Pond and his associates, Glen Hielman and Harold Pond worked for many years for Shaw making tractors. These tractors were produced out of motorcycle and automotive parts and were made for the bigger gardens and small orchards. After a while the three men decided to build their own tractor and go into business for themselves. Harold Pond had worked for Shaw since the 1920’s and decided that he would make a tractor known as the Speedx Model "B," and Pond garden tractor in 1938, which would be one of the first four-, wheeled garden tractors. Glen Hielman would make the "Garden Master" in 1952. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
