Well lookie here looks like I've been hoarding a few tractor themed stickers that I'm never going to use so I'd like to send them to a good home:
Red Stag Got a New Steering Wheel. If someone in the USA or Canada can correctly guess which build off finalist build this came from then you can take all the stickers or specific ones of your choosing. I acquired this steering wheel for free because this person did not care for the sharp edges. Well after about 15 minutes with a file I fixed that! I like how there are finger bumps and no fingie holes to break a finger in. It's slightly smaller in diameter than my used go-kart wheel I had but I've gained some clearance around obstacles.
A secret blacklist does exist of members who know where I aquired this..hmmm perhaps this is a clue in itself because if I reveal the members, time and/or place, it's waaayyy too big of a clue.
If someone on the secret blacklist spoils the party they will go on my personal lifelong PoopList!
Have fun and post guesses here to keep the contest honest so the first correct guesser wins!

I figured everyone had a 1 in 3 chance. There were actually 3 of us with build-off finalists that ran that steering wheel. It was the Diesel hint that sealed the deal.
Redzz02 had one on the drift missile.
I have one on KAL.
Reason I said I should be on the blacklist, I believe redzz02 welded his to a hub, and only myself and highboy77 was bolted to a hub. I knew it wasn't mine.
PROJECTS: Marshal ........................93 Craftsman GT6000 Red Bandit ...................72 Wheel Horse Raider 12 Dirty Rat........................77 Sears Suburban Bowser...........................01 Murray Widebody LT The Green Machine ....1990 Craftsman II GT18 Other projects
highboy77 Gave it to me when I spectated at TTC 2023!
Red Stag and I got to play on the course the day after the competition! There's an obstacle where you need to come out of a small mud hole and get your front end up and onto some logs. Everything was wet and muddy so I was struggling. Anyway I had one of those CarlSend moments hit it too hard, bounced the front end straight up, then the rear tires hit the log, next thing I know I'm having one those jesus take the wheel moments, and I went swimming in the mudhole with a 500ish pound tractor on top of me. Super soft landing where I did mudangels afterwards but the cleanup was long and tough but luckily I had someone help me with part of it

@crazy_carl that's good man and if u don't mind me asking how did u do it with the hydro cause I have craftsman ys 4500 that is hydro and it has a 26 hp Kohler courage engine on it . But I was scared of burning the transaxle out of it to git it Alil fast than what it is for trail riding rig.

@Hillbilly mowers it did really great as a booze cruise r for mild trails, I had some aggressive tires, so it went up a switchback logging trail up a mountain carved by a bulldozer no problem. It’s so easy to drive because you can drive it with a couple fingers and 1 foot. Little kids and ladies like how easy it is to drive. It’s also really nice for maneuvering trailers around because you can easily shift from forward to reverse. It’s definitely a light duty transmission. I would not want to do any rock crawling with. Getting debris in the cooling fan is an ongoing issue. I performed a very mild pulley swap on it and got a little more speed out of it. Unfortunately this is before I had the top speed app on my phone so I don’t have any scientific data. However, next time I’m performing a PM on the machine at my sisters house I can at least get a current top speed reading. Anyway, after getting drunk and riding it around for 45 minutes it overheated the hydro and it started puking a little bit of fluid out the vent. I have also seen a failure of the same tough torque transaxle just from regular wear. there is no external filter. So there are different versions. It either has an internal filter that’s fine enough to actually filter but it will plug up overtime because you can’t change it or it just has a screen and eventually the pump will destroy itself because there’s no filter. So if you’re going to go, Hydro, take it easy on it or keep an eye out for a commercial grade hydrostatic transaxle.
