Mike'sHorseBarn 3,053 #1 Posted March 12, 2024 Finishing up building this show buggy for this season. Just finishing up painting the railing and adding beverage holders. Anyone else have show buggies? It's orange so I probably can't get away with taking it to the big show lol 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haul my uncle around mostly since he doesn't get around good anymore and he's an allis chalmers nut. I would have loved to have done it WH red but sometimes we have to make sacrifices haha 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 9,258 #6 Posted March 13, 2024 Maybe you could add a red removable skirt like a parade float has?😂😂 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,883 #7 Posted March 13, 2024 I don't see a problem. They can be a bit fussy over there and I understand for good reason. If your hitched up to a wheel horse I figure your good to go. Just an accessory then. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The comments above bring up a good point. Does the WHCC allow implements to be another color? Ex: my Mackissick chipper shredder was very close to Oliver Green from the Mackissick factory and was marketed BY WHEELHORSE as a factory implement. I don't believe they were red ....((??)) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,887 #10 Posted March 13, 2024 Just slap some WH decals on it. Good to go. I drove around the show one year with an Allis Chalmers mid grader blade painted red on a 704. The only guy who knew was Wild Bill! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 56,694 #13 Posted March 13, 2024 A few years back I built a chariot mounted on a small Harbor Freight trailer. My wife felt like the Wheel Horse Queene riding around on it. We were even able to give a couple of friends a lift while cruising the grounds of the Florida Flywheeler show. It had storage under the seat and a cup holder on each side. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'm gonna have to make some fenders for my wheels so it doesn't sling mud all over the wood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
