ineedanother 1,369 #29 Posted September 7, 2022 Two confessions... I have a B-100 in the warehouse at work that I just keep forgetting to tell her about. She's in bed now and I don't want to wake her so maybe it will occur to me again later. But not tomorrow, because I have to go pick up a pair of front spindles which she's cool with and since she'll already be at work when I leave, she won't see that I'm taking the trailer because they're coming on a 310-8 that I just can't pass up for the price. 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parts machines are not full fledged tractors. Just extra parts beyond what you originally needed 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

23 Reo 229 #35 Posted September 9, 2022 I have no problems with Wheel Horses and my wife. I had a lot of problems when I use to collect 1980's Toyota 4x4 pickups and 4Runners. They were about as complicated as complicated as a Wheel Horse. The 4x4s covered my front yard with attached licence plates. Ah the good old days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill 633 846 #36 Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) The problem is not my wife, but the neighbor lady. About 9 years ago, after my youngest child left the house, I finally had enough and told her the voices in my head keep telling me to get more. The purpose was to make her think I am nuts and it must have worked because she no longer talks to me and I like it that way.
