ricksrj58 273 #1 Posted May 26, 2010 i was finally able to mount the onan and make some wheelie bars. now i just need to get someone who can weld up a adjustable hitch and it will be ready to pull. maybe this winter i will be able to strip and paint it.

rustbucket 4 #12 Posted August 23, 2010 what ever you do do not order threw him sorry if it comes to late a warning. i have been waiting for the hitch i ordered now since mid july. he claims it shipped but i think he is a lieing low life. he wont answer e mails or anything sent directly to him via paypal complaint system. I do apolagise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustbucket 4 #15 Posted August 24, 2010 thing is the hitch isnt even for one of my tractors its for my dads top secret build for the local pulls. I should hide for saying it but i pull an old allis chalmers B-110 and it dose fairly well working out all the kinks and bugs and learning weight placment. every pull i go to i get further down the track. soon i hop to be in compatition form against the big guns. around here its all cub cadet monsters.

riordanii 0 #16 Posted August 24, 2010 I've called him and e-mailed him a bunch myself and I've heard nothing either. I'm about to start the claim process too. If I had a welder of my own, I wouldn't have even bothered with him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricksrj58 273 #17 Posted August 24, 2010 thats my problem also,no welder. i pull mainly with my horse and 2 jd 140s . i have a old allis chalmers b-12 i want to try out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riordanii 0 #18 Posted August 24, 2010 I've got 4 pullers in the works...2 of which are Wheel Horses...the other 2 are cubs I can just order a hitch for them about anywhere, but the 2 WHs are a different story. I have a Lawn Ranger that I am fixing for my nephews to pull in the kids' class, as well as another that I have yet to learn the model of that has a 16 horse Kohler engine that I'm fixing for myself. These are my first Horses, but I am sure they will not be my last. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ricksrj58 273 #23 Posted August 29, 2012 those wheelie bars are just clamped to the axle the same way the rear mounting bracket for a snowplow is clamped on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
