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 walls eh?

Thanks!

Nice herd!

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

Trying a little different rear tire setup. Some cheap tires off Amazon

Certainly can't replicate the look.

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

I wish they did . The fenders and toolbox aren't original to the tractor. Had to do some hunting to find a set.

I didn't know they grew on trees? Lol

ED , thanks for the update , glad you are staying after it , that mule drive , bearing grease upgrade is easy , if you are planning that , done that on my 3 , also lucas greased the pto needle bearing , and a few other related , pto lever issues , that oil rub down is so easy and worth it , been doing it forever. stay oily , pete .

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

looks like a good oil soak opportunity , possible air deflector , modification . pete

Earning it’s keep!

Very cute. Now, may I have my shoes back, please?

absolutely! SO, I took a transmission pulley of a unidrive, and put it on the peerless transmission. And, I took the pulley off the peerless and put it on the engine, as you see. It is FREAKY fast... BLOW you hat off your head... Don

Wheel Horse full moon!

What a BEAST! Very nice job on the repower!

You have a very nice stable 👍

They don’t even realize how lucky they are to be cruising a 1045 either!

Funny she said that lol. Hopefully in a week or two the motor will be back in and push itself haha

Push us Dad!

Same here on my 1045 & 1055

Good ? @charging10 they don't look like HL's but very nice indeed!

What kind of headlights are those? they look great!

Beautiful tractor! What year is she?

Calendar shot right there!

Love your tire selection.

Heck Ya!

very nice , What did you use for fronthub covers and top of axle?

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!

What a waste of color and manpower. I guess that's what they mean when said, " Each to his Own".
