There is a group on Yahoo called wheelhorsegardentractors. Wheelhorse
has a show in Arendtsville, PA. http://www.wheelhorsecollectorsclub.com/


http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=WHEELHORSE

Cecil and his wife have been at the show the last few years signing
autographs. There is a book out on the history of Wheelhorse. Called
Straight from the horses mouth, this book is out of print and was
written by Michael Martino Jr. Interview with Cecil E. Pond. History
1946 -1985

If this lady would like to attend she should contact Bill Pearson
junkin at bellatlantic.net This person does most of the leg work for the
show.

I'm sure Bill can answer more questions.

Take care

 What a day.  We were killing time around the office today talking about
inventing things to become independantly wealthy and my co-worker says
"my grandfather invented the riding lawn mower"  I was sure she was
making things up, then as she spoke and I double checked on-line, sure
enough her grandfather is Cecil Pond (the inventor of Wheelhorse).  She
has no idea how exciting this is for me.  Apparently he never spoke
about it when she was growing up, never showed his grandkids any
wheelhorse history and she doesn't even remember seeing any wheelhorse
tractors!  She said he now spends his days flying around the world on
his lear jet and she never thought to ask where he got his money, kind
of strange to me actually...
 
Enjoy, Joe
