c-series don 8,687 #228 Posted May 7, 2022 My son in law now has that tractor and it is still going strong, getting ready to order new hydraulic hoses for it this week! I told my wife I’m not buying anymore tractors, but if there’s a nice C-141 auto at the big show I may have to buy it. And don’t you know that tractor happened to be calling my name!! Here it is with the signature backup light. I was going to take it off until I found out how well it works!! 4 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of adding a light just like you have here, could come in handy I actually added that rear light (and cigarette lighter socket) for illuminating a small float I pulled in a Halloween parade when my kids were small. It was in several parades and I polished it so much I actually rubbed through the thin paint on it. I passed it along to Don Oliver to give it a good home and a fitting restoration someday !

He told the owner that he was not going to get off of the tractor until he agreed to give him the bonus! 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #233 Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) This was an ASA parade in Andersen, IN. Wheelhorse leading the pack! Notice the second car is a being pulled by one and the third appears to be towed by another GT. My wife’s grandfather is on the door of the Goodwrench car. Back in the parade, my FIL and wife riding on the trunk lid…. We aren’t sure who was sticking out the passenger window.

Pullstart 62,834 #234 Posted September 16, 2022 This guy was not very well known in ‘98. Jimmie Johnson. His first time ever in a circle track car was in my FIL’s ride. Then he got his own! Same parade as above… 5 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,121 #238 Posted May 21, 2023 Not WH, but vintage. My Great Great Grandfather Corporal John Lee. Fought in many Civil War battles including the final at Appomattox. 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonytoro416 1,034 #239 Posted May 21, 2023 Not as vintage as most pictures here but that’s me on what I would find out was a hodgepodge of a wheelhorse. Original tractor was a raider that was burned up in a fire when one grandfather owned it and other grandfather dug it out of the ashes and pieced it together with lawn ranger parts he had to make functional again Last picture is that tractor today finally back the way it came from the factory 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desko 608 #244 Posted September 23 Was looking through some things this evening and figured these belonged here! My grandparents and cousin with the Work Horse my grandpa bought new in ‘83 the picture is dated 1986 along with the original operators manual which was really cool to be able to read through. The tractor is still around too which is cool and one funny thing with it was my grandfather didn’t like the turf tires so the dealer swapped wheels off another tractor so somewhere out there there’s a wheel horse with the gloss white rears and this one has the beige white rims. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool photo. What model? I'm guessing a GT1800 since I don't see a lift arm in the photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
