clueless 2,963 #1 Posted July 31, 2016 Saved another one from the cold northern winter. It should spend the rest of it's life retired in Florida. I've been talking with Mike about this one for a year. Thought I was going to make the show this year, but I didn't. So I thought it wasn't going to happen again. Then about 2 weeks ago a fellow member, Bruce Scott, who lives about 2 hours from me said he was going to Buffalo and wouldn't mind picking it up for me Anyway, picked it up yesterday and took it out for a spin. I'm tickled red! One question, Mike, wheres the damn bell? -Chris 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 40,737 #2 Posted July 31, 2016 The bell had to stay. I used to deliver pizza's at the Steam Pageant with the 704. I needed some kind of horn to get people to move out of the way. So I found the bell at a yard sale. It's going on my 1267 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 40,737 #5 Posted July 31, 2016 If that tractor had electric, I would have put one of those motorcycle air horns on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,858 #9 Posted July 31, 2016 That's a dandy Chris. I definitely want to get a 704 since that was the model that was the second Wheel Horse my dad bought new. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
