Pullstart 62,787 #27 Posted July 6, 2020 Found a few more pics of your machine giving rides to visitors Stefan If not for your circumstance looking for another Wheel Horse, I’m not sure if this would have ever left my possession. It’s rough around the edges but reliable as a Grandpa taking you fishing! 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #28 Posted July 6, 2020 Such machines are called a diamond in the rough. Just their facettes must be brought back to shine again. Same thing with the Silver Opel i own now. This are great little machines they have a enough suited Power for their Job but on the other hand this are mostly unloved Machines most PO just use them with less care. They need a Person who sees the Diamant in them. In terms of the „allway‘s higher wider better“ battle they be not kept as they have to be, because they not on the upper Limit on their Engines. In the eyes of most, they not worth to go in that Battle. So most of them quits their life as unloved „things“. but with a bit more Care, they be Partners for a whole Life. so i‘m hope i also can bring that Diamant back to shine. 2 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #32 Posted July 6, 2020 Aaaahhhh that could clear something... and I thought it was just a acclimatization, that the horse gets a good feeling next to a GM vehicle. 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #38 Posted July 10, 2020 As long as the 656 Horse is on the Way my Vertical horse 212 must do the Job. Mowing each week about 1150 squaremeters straight and hilly mixed at all (checked for Fun last week with a GPS Tracker) So far the Mowerdeck seems to last, but it sounds sometimes Horribly. greasing before each use keep it so far relatively silent and smooth. Before i had another option i will not exchange the Bearings, because they rusted extremely strong in the Spindles, i feared they will destroy it while press the bearings out, they rusted strongly in by missing service of the previous owners. But so far it does it‘s job reall good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
