Born July '04, 13 now, if the video played he was probably around 6 then, VIDEO0011.3gp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #52 Posted January 1, 2018 Crazy! My oldest was supposed to be born in July ‘04 but came a few weeks early in June instead. It’s a small world... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #53 Posted October 13, 2018 Gonna try to resurrect this thread. I’ll tweak it’s direction some to include tractors that you’ve owned for at least five years or that got you into the hobby. If you have have pictures of tractors that have been in your possession or your families possession for decades, please include those here. I was just rereading the above posts with pics and enjoying hem every bit as much as when I first read them...vintage tractor stories never get old the just become more embellished with age! This picture is only about 3 1/2 years old but it is a fabric of my life picture. This is GhostRider before his sinister paint job. I don’t ever plan to sell this plow mule and my youngest still loves to ride tractors and wants to plow himself now! Me, my brother, and Dad pose for a quick pic in the early 80’s on dad’s 875. AND SO...got any stories and or pics to share from decades back or only a few years ago? 2 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dadlife520H 195 #54 Posted October 13, 2018 This picture was taken this morning with my son . I know there is a few photos of myself at that age on the same tractor with my father and grandfather. I'll dig them out later. Here's a start. Grandfather bought this gem brand new with all sorts of goodies. She's been working for 30 years and hasn't missed a moment. 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,081 #55 Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Here's a few I found. Our two daughters (now 38 and 40 years old). Heather on the 'B'-160 and Shannon on a 1054 I had just picked up. About 1985. Heather posing with the 1054. A few years earlier Heather and our friends son on a cruise with the B-80 prior to it becoming a 160. Geez! I don't have any gray hair! A few of the family herd at my sisters place. Early 80ish. Edited October 14, 2018 by Racinbob 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daron1965 644 #57 Posted October 14, 2018 This is a great thread. I have to admit it made me remonis about many good memories with family and friends. I truly enjoy reading the great stories and seeing the pictures. A great thread on a great site! 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #58 Posted October 14, 2018 It is so neat to see how these little tractors are woven into the fabric of so many peoples’ lives. Even new guys like @Nat Faust who just joined the site this week with his first WH just purchased, is starting a new phase of life intertwined with the brand. Keep these stories and pics coming...dig into your archives and find them. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCwom 78 #62 Posted December 8, 2023 My dad and my son about 1986 I believe. I'm not sure of the model, looks like 1279? Is there such a model? In the model list there is a 1277 automatic so maybe that's it and I remember him having an automatic at one time. I can remember at least 4 units he had at one time or another, a 3 digit (854 or something like that that I blew the motor on), this automatic and the 1054 & Raider 12 I inherited. I've got parts from all of them I think since I've only got 2 units and 3 PTOs as well was misc brackets for mower deck belts, etc. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
