Seven years for me and my first is below. 1982 C-125 plus cutter deck. Paid £75 for it. Only thing done has been head gasket changed. I had to make a new top for the deck though. Mows green and verges from spring to autumn. Keep telling myself I'm going to do it up one day. Sweeper came later.

Yeah , well done Chris. like Ian, it's 10 years for me too. First ever sight of a WH for me was this in 2007- Took me a year to get my hands on it.

A great story Chris, I'm only 5 years behind you, been playing with WH's for 10 years now..

You know me, why do it the easy way? Thanks Richard, it's getting there, hope to have it test driveable in a few months. Let's start this update with the latest video.. Lot's of timelapse bits Back to the headlamp but only very quickly.. When it came to wire the lamp in I found there wasn't enough space around the outside of the bulb holder to run the wires,so three holes were dilled and then slotted to feed the wires through. Time to turn to the other end of NadTrax.. Starting with a cardboard template.. Which fits about here.. I'm sure you will of guessed by now it's for a rear light.. Even though I've no plans to put MadTrax on the road it needs a rear light to balance out the front light.. Not having any rear lights that will fit I need to make my own, starting with this Honda Silverwing light lens. Trimmed to shape including the lens inside. Hard to hold in position and take a picture! I have an idea on how I want the rear light to look, template time.. Rubbing dirty fingers on paper to make some marks and then cutting out didn't work too well.. No idea why this pic keeps turning around! Template number 2 involved cutting lots of bits of cardboard but it looks much better and is much more usable as an actual template Turning this into steel is going to be fun The transfer box gear stick needed a tweak so it wasn't in the way of any knees, so it was moved in by an inch, lengthened and a new hip and groovy know was put on the end It needs a little tidy up but it looks good

Got my first Wheel Horse by accident while out walking the dogs. That was the C-125. Found Red Square and met shall we say the Showman, Meadowfield etc. From there friendships developed and more tractors procured.

Funny how you fall into this hobby by accident Chris, my story was pretty much the same by starting with a commando 8 & knew nothing about them then started a bit of internet detective work to find out abit more about them it Turn out that there are a couple more people have the similar interest and I think it’s great watching the hobby grow to what it is today . It’s great to see some of the younger guys wanting a wheel horse as far too many youngens are too busy with their heads looking down into a phone and not seeing what’s going on around them . great hobby

Looking through my literature today i found that its been 15 years this month that i bought my first Wheelhorse. I was looking for something to exhibit at rallys and saw a ride-on-mower advertised in the Friday Ad for £50, on viewing it I decided to buy it although it didn't have any makers name on it. After getting it home and a bit of fiddling i got it running and then discovered it was a 1969 Commando 7. Over the years I've had the odd one or two but this has to be special to me as it got me started with this hobby?. All my grandchildren have learned to drive on it and ive still got it sitting in the shed waiting for Dylan to grow a bit more.

We got more than we expected...

Great photos Mark, you certainly did get hit by the snow! Thought I'd drop in your C4 in the snow video here

Nice tractor!

I've got one of them. Looks a bit different now.

Three of them have come my way so I can't complain !

Yes there has, and ive still got 20 of them.

There's a few passed through your hands since then, Chris.

We saw this today whilst at the Heritage Centre for our Meet and Greet, fantastic job and a credit to you

That's about my pace to do things Nigel.....sometimes longer. I hope to speed up when it's warmer though ! . Glad to see you're progressing Ian. great work
