What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Well owning one wheelhorse is as contagious as the Covid so why not. Or you could just call it Corona

Welcome to my world of horses Johnny... first thing I mutter to my myself, more than onc, when I get her home and start discovering po cobblements is "she's a project" 

That's actually not a bad lookin tractor... seat looks to be in real nice shape. 

I'm not into naming tractors like these other canaries  but I like covids... put a sticker of a certain beer bottle on it and you'll never forget when you bought it !

Took a booze cruise on the 1277😆

Trina says "He has a problem"

I said "What's that?"

She says "He doesn't have a cupholder"

 

Also, you need a hood latch tab.

Precisely, because I backed it out, set my beer on the hood and went to lock up, came back and it was on the ground. These shake a little more than the Onan 🤣

I recently acquired a 520-H that Squonk previously owned. Just wondered if there were any threads on here of that tractor, curious of the history of it. The front axle has been modified, also has trailer hubs and wheels on the front. Custom decals, etc. I have a new seat and a few upgrades I will do to it as well. A very well maintained machine, couldn't be happier with it.

Love to see pics of that setup sometime...

 

[Guest 88vic]

It's very heavy duty, I'll snap pics tomorrow and post them up. I think I'll copy that and do the same thing to my C-161.

I did a close up of a pic I already had. Here's a teaser  Haha !

My family got out of the house this afternoon and helped this guy plow the garden!  It was so great to finally get Jada on Hot Wheels for a couple turns!  It might not be for her yet, but at least she tried.

 

We even got Frank out for a bit to disc the garden.  He suffered a bit of carnage, sheared a bolt on the drive hub / axle.... but no big deal.

There’s a couple page build on here... if you are bored and need a month’s worth of reading!

 

 Here’s the link!  today was the first time I’ve ever worked that tractor, in any form.  I got it as a Charger 12 with a broken rod and built “Frank” the 1073 then tested it as a mover.  Mrs. Pullstart May have been standing on the disc, holding onto my shoulders.  No pics, the girls were off playing by then.  It grunted and almost stalled the K-241 a few times, then sheared the 3/8” bolt in the hub.  Woo hoo, it’s strong and stout!

Fixed the seat switch today, which was defeated by the previous owner. I figure it's a safety measure worth keeping on this tractor because I mow with it and would like to give that duty over to my sons in the next few years.

 

[Pullstart 62,784]

I feel like using some “spares” to build something cool today...

 

 

[Pullstart 62,784]

Quick down and dirty drawbar attachment for pulling the disc or other attachments not equipped with a double shear hitch.

I'm ready for a Southern Tier IPA

 

[johnnymag3 2,515]

Good Beer.....IPA's are the best!    Time for another.....    Ride I mean.  

[johnnymag3 2,515]

Tom2P    What did you put inside the base of the stack to be able to thread in the cast iron pipe?

 

 

[johnnymag3 2,515]

And is that a muffler in the tip on the top?

that's Greentored's picture ... and tractor ... and beer 

 

he might have welded a sleeve or collar (similar to pipe fitting with female thread) to accept small engine muffler ?
