I really enjoy a good, oh, wait, nevermind.

It's nice of you guys to allow the elderly on here  :lol:
Corn Dog!

I have just gotten nto Collecting and Restoring Wheel Horse Tractors.
I love old farm equipment, tools, etc...
Building an NQS Puller in my Spare-Spare time?


this is a Wheel Horse 1046, a 1966 Model 10 HP and was a low production. At one time there were only 3 KNOWN left. I am sure there are quite a bit more, but it is definitely one of the more rare tractors.


This is a 1961 Model 551 "Suburban" that I will be picking up later this year, believe it or not when I am done it will look like this one...

That is a 1960 model, basically the same as mine.


those are sharp looking.......until recently I wasn't aware I liked old farm tractors as much as I do. I find myself looking at them more and more. Someday hopefully I'll own one. My neighbor collects old tractors. He has 15-16 tractors over there. He mainly collects Cockshutt which I'd never even heard of before meeting him.

You never win a race by focusing on one aspect of the race!  Motor isn't everything, but you better have a good one!  Chassis too!  But remember, a driver can take a slow machine and make it faster!  I may not have/be the best of any of these but I'm trying!

Hi everyone. This is Bert. I am logged in on Ed's computer as my dial-up is on the fritz. I rather enjoy the feeling of a nice warm chunk of cheese in my pocket. My left one, as I keep my phone in my right one. And we all know, Limburger and cell phones don't mix.

 For me its a lot of stuff. Playing accordion, making beer ( as well as drinking it), lawn mower racing, antique tube radio restoration, old cars, flea markets, history, bicycles,  old navy ships, and so on and so on. Always something to do.

I enjoy my old Cases.  This is my most recent.  I restored this 1965 Case 130 last year.  Its not a true restoration but I do have all the parts to do so when I choose.

i scored a wheelhorse with 700 perrless in it on the side of the road a few weeks ago on my way home from work.   i call people hangle with em.  if they dont lower the price, i call back in 2 weeks from a diff number and beat em up worse then seal the deal... all the while they had no idea they took a bath to the same guy willing to pay 40 more 2 weeks ago.... i love it.
