You Guy‘s are all Guilty

[Tractorhead 9,064]

Yap, ya all 😎 especially the Guys of the Gardentractor Mafia, ebinmaine, pullstart and some more.

You are all Guilty.... 😁

You infected me with that Virus.. ..😂🤤

 

and while the Big Show wasn‘t happen this Year, i decide to have a real Wheelhorse here on my Site

as a consolation. 😇

 

No, not a Sheet metal framed, i like a real Wheelhorse here.

Eric‘s Colossus Project and all of your Restorations give me the need of an vintage Wheelhorse.

 

So i do a lot of Searching and investigation but it is nearly impossible to find a usable machine here on my Site that‘s worth to resto.

Older machines are mostly just available in Parts or have exorbitant prices for a completely rotten parts.

 

So i decide to increase my Search and instead i fly to the Big Show, what seems this year impossible,

i decide to import me a real Wheelhorse.

Finally i found few options, but they all over the Big Pond and have to be transferred to my Site.

By the Way, i asked a Customer who has a bigger Logistic Company,

if he can help me with that issue and he agreed. - next hurdle taken.

 

So i begun to a closer Lurking for several 702 and similar in my Age and get at Least an offer i must immediately Agree.

As i read sometimes here in the Forum „ it‘s easier to beg for forgivness than to ask for a permission“

i handled that Way.

 

Yeah, i‘m not in a hurry with the Transfer, but i did it.

She is a 656 from 1966 With a Tecy Engine on it to a extreme fair Price and with nice Patina on it, 

a perfect candidate for a Resto.

I know most of you just preferred a Kohler Engine, but i‘m also fine with the Tec- Engine

because here on my Site are more parts available for a Tecy Engine than for a Kohler.

 

@pullstart helps me with the packing and Shipping, big big thanks for that ahead Buddy!

 

I’m happy in advance to have it someday here.

 

Thanks for infect me 👍

I am more than happy to take partial credit for that.

I am also very much looking forward to seeing the tractor that you have bought and what you do with it.

Excellent. Awesome. And also wonderful.

I’ll let Stefan make the updates as needed, but I’ll do my best to crate it to the best of my abilities and look forward to seeing it live on in Deutschland!  Maybe I’ll have to stop by some day while I’m visiting my Jil (prior exchange student, quickly turned oldest daughter)

 

 

[Tractorhead 9,064]

I think because of Corona some things of the whole Transfer is getting slower,

but i‘m not in a hurry.

 

Just be happy!

[Pullstart 62,791]

Excited for this topic to move forward...  🤐

When is this crate shipping?

If it didn't ship yet, I would like to put a gift inside. I can mail it down to pullstart to add inside.

[Achto 27,504]

Can't believe that I missed this post. Excited to see your new baby when it arrives.

Well done! I’ve handled a few tractor purchases that way with great success 

[Tractorhead 9,064]

It‘s still in final work for shipping.
 
I still had to wait few day‘s because the first container my transport company shipped a bit too quick 
and we where not able to crate it and put it in.
But next container is still  in line and wait for my Package.

@pullstart crate it for me, ( big thanks Buddy for that again)

 

 

I‘m very sad, that the Big Show this year wasn‘t possible.
Ok, i‘m not the fastest in speaking because i’m not native tounge and some wordings are sometimes missing in my vocabulary, but i try continousely improve myself.😎😇 nothing is for eternity and never said never again.

next year the same timeline i will try again a Visit to the Big Show, to see ya all once face to face.

 

 

Primary i want to celebrate my Birthday with you Fella‘s, because some seems as crazy as myself.

i know i know, Big Show ain‘t this year, but ya all know now my personal Secret (own Birthday Gift),

what was allready planed in Background.

 

I would preferr if i was able to drive at the Parade on the Big Show with it,

but sometimes things changes in our Life and nobody knows why.

I have learned a lesson, that tell’s me there is allway‘s a reason for things they happen,

sometimes you need a bit time to understand it, sometimes a few years later.

 

but in the final comes the best.
I get a Wheel Horse that fitting my Age.

👍

it is not shipped yet, the Crate is actual @pullstart stable.

don‘t know if he nailed allready the cover completely.

He give me a info if it’s nailed and i contact my logistic Buddy to pickup.

i think one or 2 day more left is no big deal.

 

i feel very honored, that you accept a crazy like me in the row.

[Pullstart 62,791]

I’ll wait to finish it!  @wallfish I’ll send you my info

Good Lord willing we will both be able to go to the big show next year. If you find yourself with out a parade ride you will be more than welcome to take Radpferd's reins.

[Tractorhead 9,064]

oh, then I have to appear in traditional Bavarian costume ...

It was still planed, but then for the Parade it‘s definitively a must!

 

I hope that the Lord will get us all through corona well.

[Pullstart 62,791]

Hey Stefan... this crate is super stout!   

[Lee1977 6,642]

We didn't twist your arm and make you buy a Wheel Horse. If you are considering coming to the show next year you might want to make a payment to the Wheel Horse Mafia. A cast of good German beer should take care of the problem.

[stevasaurus 22,708]

I am looking forward to next year for the trip  also.

It was planed this Year, but because of Covid some things changed.
Also my permit to USA was rejected.
So i must drink that Barrel myself, without the surround of the Redsquare Buddies and the Garden Tractor Mafia. 😎

 

But i look forward to next year, in hope to repeat that happening.

Maybe i must foundate a chapter „Bavaria“ of the Garden Tractor Mafia here. 😂
So i have maybe next year an foundated permit to Travel

 

 

[Tractorhead 9,064]

The big Horse Travel has begun... 

 

 

... let the Horse come safe to it‘s new Home

[Pullstart 62,791]

Yes, Smooth sailing and prevailing winds, my little buddy!  “The Polished Turd” my second new entry in my little blue truck from the big show 2018!  @stevebo taught me to wet sand and buff like a pro that year!  Now destined for bigger and better things, in Bavaria!

[Tractorhead 9,064]

I will take good care of it.

🇺🇸👍

" Thanks for infect me.".... just a perfect thing to say and I love the exact way you say it.

 Everyone in my family came from Germany 150 or so years ago. Names like Rissmueller and Oehrtman and Veit. Farmers  all.

Welcome back, hope you are fine.

[Pullstart 62,791]

Stefan... I got a call today... they’re coming for it!

 

I bid a farewell to my old Wheel Horse.  It hasn’t ever let me down, but now it’s yours and it’s on the way!

 

  

[Tractorhead 9,064]

A Horse do a long Traver over the Big Pond ....

 

A Horse - no it‘s my 656 Wheelhorse.
