Wild Bill in VA 1,452 #1 Posted June 26, 2017 While I was walking through the one swap meet barn I run up on a conversation around a Wheel Horse that was for sale ..... and it didn't sound right. I knew the one guy was the seller but the other folks really didn't seemed to be buyers. Well it turned out the real interest about the tractor was that a snake had crawled up into the air fan shroud of the Kohler when the seller opened the hood ..... and it didn't come back out ! (now ifn's the engine had been a Tecumseh the snake would'a been too scared to do that). Lucky for me I realized I had business to attend to in another building! The snake eventually crawled out and went away. Wild Bill in Richmond, VA. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #2 Posted June 26, 2017 Brings back memories of one of the first shows when they still had the outhouses by the tent area. Bill walked in, sat down, snake said "hi'., Bill ran out. Darn Bill , you scream like a girl..... 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #3 Posted June 26, 2017 I was there when it came out. It was about a 4' black snake. Can you imagine buying it and then when you got home to give it a bath and out comes the snake? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,436 #4 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Yeah, that tractor was right next to mine. Could have been my 857 if the snake had turned right instead of left. Edited June 27, 2017 by rmaynard 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill in VA 1,452 #5 Posted June 26, 2017 HA HA ... Your right Buzz ....... and some how I keep a runnin' into them unwanted snakes. Here's that story, Years ago in the early years of the Annual Wheel Horse Show there used to be a old white painted cinder block rest room and of which I felt the need to use ..... well just as I was about to step over block opening I noticed a snake up on the top of the door way ...... I thought geez some joker put a rubber snake up there BUT then the snake MOVED ........ I went into reverse so fast that my foot never set on the ground in the building ! Finding Don Kane I lead him to the bathroom with out telling him why (Don is a big time hunter and I figured he should know what to do), he was a little nervous wondering why I wanted him in the outhouse. Don saw the snake put on some gloves and tossed the vermin out into the woods. Buzz do ya' suppose the this years snake was a great grandchild of that outhouse snake ???
