Just think, if our horse’s hubs were attached like this, all loose / frozen hub troubles would be over!

Interesting Tires  Special purpose??  Wartime rubber shortage??

I know these aren’t super old

pics but this is me and my late father on the 855 I inherited. Mowing pic is 1992 and the pic of me pulling the aerator was the first time he let me drive 1995. Remember that day vividly.

That Farmall brings back memories.  My Grandfather had a 1936 Farmall F-12 he bought new during the depression.  He had both rubber and steel wheels for it.  The steel wheels would really tear up the roads in the summer so Ohio outlawed them for road use.  The F-12 had no electrics being crank start with a magneto.  My Grandfather would never let me start it because if it back-fired, it could break your arm!  Today's tractors are so much more user friendly.

Great pics @Bailey855 ironically 1992 is almost 30 years ago😳!  I grew up using an 875 that we restored about 5 years ago.  There is a write up in the restore section of the forum with LOTS of old time pics including this one

my dad, myself, and my younger brother back in the summer of 1983.  

 

Love the history and familial connection to the Wheel Horse GT in your case as well.  Thanks for sharing the pictures and the story as well🙌🏻

For sure is a lawn ranger. 

 

Even flipflops were to save for you uncle. Hope he didn't lose a toe so close to the fan

And never mind if those tiny front tires on the baby walker got snagged on something, and baby flipped forward, a55 over teakettle.

 

But alas, he survived, as did we all ( so far! ) !

I had one just like this, it is still in the basement of my parents house…all of my kids rode on it at one point too.  I suppose, someday it will be my grandkids turn—weird to put that in print🤔

 

thanks for sharing👍🏻
