Blackhood Bill 721 #5131 Posted June 8, 2020 Today was a sunny day. So I have been helping the neighbor girls rehab their Duck coop (ducks to come) and we got the horse out to stretch her legs and haul the coop where they girls wanted it. We added extra bracing, put doors back on with new hinges, repaired the roof, then the girls painted it. The two girls on the outside are the neighbor girls and the girl in the center is my granddaughter. Got the charging problem fixed, I think so of course had to get her out for awhile. 9 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnymag3 2,520 #5137 Posted June 9, 2020 So today I evaluated all of my stuff that I had acquired from the elderly man...A Wheel Horse Dealer…..and wow. WHAT a cool collection he had..…Had because I have it now. And I am so proud to own it.. I have so many things to list and take pictures of. I want to be able to get things to people that they need....for a reasonable cost. Shipping sucks !!!! The money they make is silly and uncalled for. But Im sure I have a lot of goodies in my pile that you all may want or need. Im not looking to make a killing, as Richmondred1 can tell you....Im looking for a fair price, and for somebody to finish or start the project of their dreams.. Wheel Horse tractors are one of a kind. There are no others to compare. If you buy I nice Wheel Horse, and feed it right......SERVICES, MAINTENANCE...… Give it the love it needs, you will NEVER...……………..NEVER...……………..NEVER...……………. Need to get another tractor. Grease, oil changes ,air pressure in tires for an even cut....and always good fuel, it will be the key to never buying a junk mower from a big box store. They don't make TRACTORS anymore...…...they make stamped steel mowers .YOU WILL TOSS THEM OUT IN 2-3 YEARS. Don't waste your hard earned money on JUNK. …….That my red friends is what I did today on my WHEEL HORSE 4 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Thunder Channel 178 #5142 Posted June 9, 2020 My older daughter wanted to drive the 704 tonight! I am not going to say no to a request like that! She got a little scared when I put it in road gear at partial throttle. Oop's She can't reach the pedal on the little 704 yet. I need to get the hydro tractor fixed so she can give that one a try. 2 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuneup 1,433 #5145 Posted June 9, 2020 I had little to do, for a change, on Sunday. I had put 10W-30 in the Eaton 7 on the 516 and didn't like it. Told myself I could pull it out without removing the fender so it took less time - wish that drain was more accessible! It worked and she's got the straight 30W she prefers. Meanwhile, the old wreck of a 77 C-120 had no problem mowing the back grass and weeds just before dark. She might need a full restore cosmetically but she's mechanically sound and just goes and goes. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
