Know Not Good Lookin'....

Recommended Posts

groundhog47

With all the fabulous lookin' machines on here am nearly embarrased to show my 36 yr old, has had a hard life out in the rain, and whatever else weather brought for last 30 years, sat idle unused or moved for 14 yrs, brought out of coma, given new shoes, a pacemaker, replaced some circular joints, fixed feeding tube, and we are off RECYCLIN' again.

Wagon from scrap chain, washing machine cover, high boy lawn mower wheels, Ariens mower deck carriage, rlrctrical hanger, 2x4, plywood, and scrap hardware (also suffered with Horse).

Grand kids grew to big 'fore got to ride on back in the few snows here, as intended. When first turned it over in '82 and decided against the Cub had to have it. My original receipt lists it as '78, but it's a ,76 that musta had 6 years of hard life before the cruelty from me.

This place makes me have a whole new respect for these machines. Gerry

FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT PICTURE # PAGES DOWN

Jim, 312Hydro, Neil, Jake, Commando6, K~341 Baby!, Leeave96, Speedyleedy and wheel-n-it, thank you all for the uplifting posts. Compared to to Herds on here old is a termthat's incorrect, so I'll say my Junior Stallion really appreciates it. And the term old on here also means absolute eye candy with the fabulous work I am priviledged to see as well as the Juniors that have been masterfully restored. Gerry

Oh yes Jim, I'm feeling that way also...Jim says "But I never met a Wheel Horse I didn't like". Jim

Just remember if it was painted up all pretty you wouldn't want to work it anymore for fear of additional scratches and dents. I think it looks great as it is :)
