Road trip!
 

I'll be heading up Sat. via I-77 and spending the night in Dyolestown, OH and Sunday I'll be in Freemont. IN via Toll road 80 to deliver the O parts and tractor. I'll load up the 1864, restored 102 and restored 800 with rear pto and flat belt pulley and head on back Sunday night to Statesville. I'm hoping i don't forget my camera! The restored tractors are my friend Tommy Hopper Jr tractors. He'll pick those up from me next week some time. He says he better before Evan and I put to many miles on them!:biggrin2:

Pics of the 1864 when my wife took it for a spin. She wasn't to happy that I made her drive a cub. Like it's hard to drive a tractor with PS and tilt steering!:biggrin2:

Just incase if anyone is wondering Evan has already claimed it!:biggrin2: That's my boy! I told him no more rock paper scissors! Losing a FEL in a game of RPS is enough to stop me from playing any more RPS again!

stop on by! All the little cubs are down at the grandparents or over at the parents for the winter, but I got the '49 sorda together.

Gary I have a hitch plate with your name on it! I forgot to mail that to you!:bash2: I want to check out the 49! I'll give ya a buzz when I'm on the road.

Have a safe trip, buddy!

Camera, camera, camera...:biggrin2:

Say it three times and you won't forget it. LOL

Going to put in the truck the night before so I don't forget it.:biggrin2:

Thanks Allen!:beerchug:

batteries......

Funny you say that they just died when I was taking these pics.

This 4 digit O is going to with me on the trip.

looks pretty sweet and like it's got some options on it. Oh, I can't wait for warm weather to set back in for good! I plan on mowing a good bit with the 127 this year.

That's a good looking four digit O. Looks to me like your yard is ready for a mowing. :bigthink: Maybe something you can do when you get back with that new toy. :biggrin2:

Thanks! I think he's going to be real happy with it! The headlights and grote are so wrong but the paint is in great shape for being 51 yrs old! The deck is solid too!

I love your 127!

Thanks! I so need to mow and I want to use the 1864 when I get back in town.

Hey have a safe trip buddy and where did you have the O stashed? Looks pretty nice!

I think he has a spare bedroom he stores his rare stuff in. :biggrin2:

I had it in the back of the truck till the wife :BB&YS: now it's at the storage unit.:biggrin2:

Tommy is the one with a room in his house with rebuilt motors! I'm lucky to get them into the garage part of the house!

Plans have changed again! I'll be leaving out Friday night. I'll still be returning Sunday night. This change will allow me to get some family time in. I got lucky and my wife's side are pretty good people. Well minus her oldest brother.:BB&YS:

If I could drive, buddy. I'd ride with ya!

Knowing you you'd be happy sitting on one of the cubs for the whole trip.:biggrin2:

You know me too well! :biggrin2:

If the cub was a 100 he'd forsure do it haha

You got that, right, Nick! :biggrin2:

Well, Duke just headed north out of Princeton, WV about 15 minutes ago.... said something about heading back north as a transplanted yankee.... something like that. haha. Be safe!!

I'm made back late Sunday night.

It was great seeing Ben and Gary again!

Let's get to the pics!

Pics of the 800 restored by Mike aka Mlamar. I can't get over the detail he put into this restore. He also makes some pretty awesome wiring harness!

I was told it was a 102 but when I did the pic up it turned out to be a 122 so nice little suprise. I can't seem to find the pics of the 122.:bash2:

Tommy is coming to pick up the 122 and 800 in the morning and I'll take some more and post them.

Here's some pics of Evan taking the 1864 out for a spin for the first time.

It needs a good cleaning! One of the magneto's went out last fall and got replaced but they didn't clean it after they fixed it, so time to get the soap and water out!

Nice pics!! Tell tommy to hold off till thursday morn so i can see that 800 in person!!! Lol taking some time off!!

i think evan is thinking in that last picture while hes scratching his head " huh, i was gunna let dad keep this one but i could really use a 3rd cub! :biggrin2::biggrin2:"

Great pics, Duke! Evan looks right at home on his new cub. :biggrin2:

or i wonder if i can get the loader on this one instead!!! Maybe another round of rock paper scissors with dad and its all mine!!!! Lol

Tommy has to work so that's a no go! He's been waiting months on getting these two tractors. I haven't sent him any pics so it's bee good to see his face when he see's them for the first time.

You two are too funny! He has been working me over on it tho. No more RPS for me! He wants to race me with the 1650 to see which one is faster.

Father son lawnmower racing lets do it but we have to get this on video!!

Evan will win he likes to cut the corners more then I do! The little cheater.:biggrin2:

No more RPS for me!

I ended up driving 1560 miles and spent a ton of $$$ on fuel but in the end it's worth it to help out a friend and get a family tractor. Now to talk Uncle Gene out of his 1862 with deck and snow plow.:biggrin2:

Duke now your going to have to buy some Cat 0 implements:biggrin2:.
