No Thread, just messing around with 8 year old grandson in the shop. He comes to the big show with me and ask if we could build one.

Got the steering worked out, needs a different muffler, wide rears and a foot throttle. Might just wait on the foot throttle and let TJ get used to running it around. Not sure on paint. Maybe a rub down or clear shot. Hood is close to rot out so may look for another at next year's show. Just making something out of nothing.

Met a nice gentleman today who sold me these beauties. Perfect Addition to my ‘65 collection. Hey @WHX24 I don’t NEED your 1045 anymore:-)

Love those lights! Beautiful

From the "Roadapples" collection. Being mounted on a project.

I really like the dozer blade. I’ve have had mine for 38 years. I bought my 310-8 new in the spring of 1986. I have used the dozer blade to level dirt too. I was amazed at how well it worked. There are some videos on YouTube of guys moving piles of dirt with a Wheel Horse and a dozer blade. Have fun with your Wheel Horse.

Bench mount grinder wire wheel. Then tumbled it all in a chem bath and wire wheeled again. Not too bad for original 67yr old hardware.

They are the manure spreader tires. Not my first choice in size but hard to find. I’ll have to look again. Little shorter than what should be on

love an oil slick , another lubrication addict ! have to talk on what you have done , go grease , pete

ED looks good , like the clean and used stature of it , is that an oil slick finish on that ? that hood has the oiled sheen ,look , regularly wipe my horses down with a penetrating oil clean cloth , keeps the paint alive , pete

Rare siting of a Horse at work in Idaho....

Nice calendar shot!

Remind me before the big show, I’ve got a few C series hoods like that looking for a better home

Someday they will! I need a 1054a and a 605 yet. I’ll have all (minus lawn ranger) of the 65 models

1965

@Chris G I wondered if that was you for second.... Love it!! I have the original patent picture as a tattoo on my right forearm.

I drive around with a bulldog on my hood everyday

657 w/SMS42 and 8 speed tranny and HL5 lights.

OUTSTANDING!!!

White letters on the 518-h.

White walls eh?

Awesome tires!

A little bit of shop envy here.

Thanks!

That Red color really pops! Which color and paint did you use? Jason

And a better quality then today

I’m not entirely sure. Tractor has been hacked over the years. Someone has made the side guards and Tin on the engine. Hydro pump has been removed battery and gas tank swapped positions. I have been gathering parts for it slowly and then I’m going to tear into it. And try and put it back MOSTLY how it’s supposed to be. My grandfather purchased it like this and I’d like to just get it back mostly factory

She is rough but coming around slowly

Thanks everyone! My Aunt took great care of it.

Very Nice!

That’s a clean ass wheel horse man I <censored>in love it

Rebuilt engine (bored 10 over... 46 years of mowing/plowing), replaced trans seals/oil, powder coated rims (local shop), new shoes all around, new clutch pulley, trans input pulley/key, new brake pad, reshaped hood from collisions through the years, new points and battery. I didn't take it completely apart to clean, but 90%+ was). Things I haven't done: steering tear down (works fine, just regreased), mule drive teardown/clean/inspect (may do that soon), attach-a-matic teardown/clean/inspect (may do that soon, too). Currently working on mower deck (couple of small cracks to weld, missing small chunk to fix, rusty (might just do a oil bath on top, but should probably under coat it). I've tried to keep it as original as I could, but there are some changes (seat, trans input pulley, tires). Except for the tires, I still have all of the original parts that maybe I can fix up and re-use later on

Earning it’s keep!

Thankyou!

Outside job.

Orange never looked so good on a !

Ah the pitfalls of trying to acquire every model of the year. Your almost there and then you suddenly fancy another year! It's a vicious cycle!

Push us Dad!

I have a wheel horse 877 wondering what should I list it for

Same here on my 1045 & 1055

Love your tire selection.

Start a thread in tractors where you can get welcomed and better advice.

I passed up a panzer to get my wheel horse, I will have one some day also! My sears is sitting waiting to get some loving!

Almost as nice as the great GT14 😊

Motorized with power widow motor for rotate and power seat for shoot up and down .
