My daughter didn't know I was watching her

Jada decided she wants do drive the wheelhorses because her battery on the simplicity was dead.  She can just reach the clutch pedals and I kept both the 502 and C-101 in low range so no matter what gear she selected it was still slow enough.  I've created another monster!

I'm glad someone else did this as well, l did a short vid of my teenage daughter rolling the lawn a few weeks back. 

She had the ear defenders on and goodness knows what music was being pumped in, she was off in another world...playing the drums.. Singing, it was so funny. She laughed when I showed it to her later, but I was forbidden from ever sharing. :( :coffee:

I told my daughter I would have to train her what to look for when looking for a Wheel Horse tractor (5 year old) so I could have her looking for them as I am driving the car. 

 

She said, " I wanna learn to drive a tractor when I am older, like a teenager. Will I go tractor driving school?"

 

I said, "No honey, I can teach you!"

 

Makes me proud and I have spent most of my life not even using "tractors" even though I am the son of a farm raised Dad who farmed up until he was out of high school.

 

Remind me to tell you about him getting ducks for dinner later.

 

Thanks for posting this. I just had this discussion with her today.

:text-welcomeconfetti:mabsoon, I have found :wh: to be a real 'family thing' the kids have been off with me in the past to wrangle one or two. :)

Tankman, I got the OK from my daughter (as far as I can tell the song was 'your as cold as ice') bless her but she's about as tuneful as Rod Stewart! :ph34r: :coffee:

      New Owner, Sudden Problem!
      By jellyghost
      I am the proud new owner of a 1978 C-101.  I bought it yesterday, and it is in amazing condition.  Everything worked except the brake peddle and under chair safety cutoff.
      I started mowing today, and everything was going great.  As it got late, I started using the lights.  
      Suddenly, the mower stopped in the middle of a mow.
       
      Here are the facts that seemed relevant to me:
      The motor won't try to turn on when I turn the key.
      The lights and the electrical won't turn on with the key and switch.
      It has a new tank of gas and fresh oil.
      I inspected the wires, and they look ok at first glance.
      The WH has a car battery dated from April 2011.
       
      I do not have a black thumb.  I am basically ignorant, but it seems like an electrical issue to me.  Could the battery have completely died even while running?  What do you guys think?  I was hoping to do a post showing this awesome mower, but this happened before I could!

      Picked up a C-101 this morning!
      By Pullstart
      So my mom gave us kids cash for Christmas and told us to go find something for ourselves, I took a little 50 some mile road trip this morning and picked up a steel fender C-101.  Overall, it seems to be well taken care of and in great shape!  Except for the connecting rod issue that I knew about before heading to get it.  I have a spare 10 horse that had the carb and starter bits robbed from it before I picked up my 8 speed donor for the 502 so I should be able to use the left overs to get this back running.  Came with a RD deck and a big folder full of service records and receipts.  All in all, this will be a worker and should give me the ability to refresh my 502 without the worry of  downtime!

      LH gear case 3 speed vs 8 speed
      By Pullstart
      I just replaced the 3 speed transmission from my 502 with an 8 speed from a C-101.  the brake band location is different and the 8 speed brake bearing is loose, making me want to tear it apart.  Is there any confirmation that the only difference of these two cases is that tab?  could I put my 3 speed LH case on the 8 speed transmission, or is there more bosses in the hi/low case?  it would help prevent leaking oil and help to keep the brakes all set up right.

      thanks!
