WHGuy413 2,683 #1 Posted June 1, 2019 What a beautiful day in new England for some baseball and some wheel horses. This morning i started out mowing with my 416H then @ebinmaine and his wife stopped by to pick up a tractor that I picked up in New York for them this winter and held here. Then we headed to my youngest sons baseball game. From there we went to my oldest sons game where my youngest son ended up having to fill in. What a fun game and Aiden has been on fire hitting pitching and fielding. He may be small but he packs a punch. Once the game was over it was back home to finish mowing and the oldest helped with that while the youngest helped plant pumpkins with my 753. Then the 2 drove around the yard for a while. I think it's time for some relaxation. 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 16,985 #5 Posted June 2, 2019 Good thing Eric and Trina showed up here empty cause I was trying to load them up with all kinds of stuff. Mostly non Wheel Horse but they did get a modified 60 inch WH snow plow blade. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,275 #6 Posted June 2, 2019 @Herder Adam I'll mention first because the whole thing is his "fault" Back in December he gave Trina a rolling chassis 856. We just had to figure out how to get it from eastern NY State to Maine. @WHGuy413 Matt was headed to Adam's place for something else and was nice enough pick it up and get it to Western Massachusetts for us. Matt it was great to meet you and the boys!! In a thread discussing saws @wallfish generously offered to give Trina and I a radial arm saw.... Then a band saw... Then tried to fill our SUV and trailer with half his possessions while we were there. On the way home Trina says to me... "What can I make with MY new toys?" Wait, what??? Ohh... Well... I hope she'll let me use her saws sometime. Thank you John. We really do appreciate the gifts. You can bet I'll put that 60" Super Plow to good use this winter!!! Wonderful to see you and meet your wife. The 856 is a Very solid tractor and will be a great restoration project this coming winter. It has an older paint job that's very loose and falling off in places. Trina will "depaint and repaint". We'll need an S/G and the brackets and some small stuff but it's otherwise complete. .... AWESOME place with some AMAZING people. @LengerichKA88 @Mows4three @Stepney @pullstart @JCM @Professor1990 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 9,130 #7 Posted June 2, 2019 Eric, I am not sure how big your Shop is,but you may have to build an addition to one of your existing building's to keep all your new equipment in.Trina, that 856 look's real straight, good luck with it, you guy's did well on that mission, nice to have good WH friends. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have 2 workshops. The cellar is a "walk out". House is 24 x 40 and all but 6 feet or so is shop/storage/shelf/working area. The outdoor workshop is a shed that's 16 x 20 base plus an overhang on each side. Once the chicken coop is done, the portable garage will be built, and that space will be ALL shop and NO storage. There are propane and electric heaters in there now and maybe a wood stove at some point. We'll reorganize and realign some and have a great place for all the woodworking and the warmer weather equipment repairs. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LengerichKA88 1,883 #10 Posted June 2, 2019 Alright @ebinmaine, I have a bone to pick with you..... I sat, at your request, and helped you think of several, in my opinion, award winning names for that whole trip, and I don’t see a one of em used! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My sincerest apologies. I believe we had settled on: Operation CUT N ROLL Given the premises of saws cutting and the rolling chassis... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,791 #12 Posted June 2, 2019 EB, I have faith that you’ve seen my little blue truck packed and we both know there is so much more room on that rig for more of John’s junk! BBT, I am going with the idea that you are too kind to accept more Wallfish peace offerings and that EB hasn’t shown you my little blue truck and how to properly load a vessel for transport. He’ll get around to it some day but his mind tends to wander a bit so we can both forgive him. This is such an awesome story, of so many people’s efforts to come together for the common good. Wheel Horse people rock! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's obviously still a rookie! Look at all that room inside the cabinet of the radial arm saw, that's easily 6-10 engines worth of space right there, depending on sizes of them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #14 Posted June 3, 2019 @ebinmaine nice haul on a lot of cool new toys...only thing I see if you keep going like this you’re gonna be in the same boat I’m in...too many cool toys and not enough shop to keep them all in, didn’t take long for mine to overflow my 12x32 building, to the point of having to rent a storage unit to hold the extra less used stuff 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've had to reorganize and filter out some old stuff. I have some parts and a couple tractors I should sell. As long as I can keep away from @wallfish for awhile we'll be good.
