One of the coolest modified Wheel Horse tractor or tractors was two early to mid 60's that had been fixed together side by side. I only saw it in pictures about 5 or 6 years ago. It was an excellent job. Maybe TT or one of the other members that have been collecting for a while will have a picture of it.

The plow is from a ditch witch, flipped upside down and added a cutting edge to the bottom.

Great machine buddy. What do those new hood decals say?

Charlie

They say "Cowboy's High Horse"Guess that's where the expression comes from?

"Livin' high on the Horse!" :smile:

      1984 C Series, dump trailer and leaf impeller
      By davidfindlay
      Looking to find a new home for my 84 (I think) C-145. It has a dump trailer with the enclosure for leaves, the PTO impeller to get the leafs into the trailer, the hoses for deck-to-impeller, impeller-to-trailer.
       
      I haven’t run it in over a year.
      The battery and the cable to the battery probably need to be replaced.
      Comes with a new head gasket still in the bag.
      Seat is cracked but still comfortable.
       
      Happy to answer questions or take other pictures.

      D series Belt Replacement
      By BuffaloD200
      Hey all, I need to install a drive belt on my 75 D180 for my snowblower.  I've looked through a bunch of D-series owner's manuals, and none seem to mention replacement procedure.  The PTO pulley is fixed, save for engaging the PTO and there is minimal movement at the snowthrower pulley. There's no idler or tensioner as far as I can tell.  Do I have to remove the PTO pulley?  That seems to be a required service item.
      Same question for my 80 D200 as well really.  
       
      Using the recommended 4L490W belt.
       
      Thanks

      Governor for a D-180
      By ihatephones
      I got a D-180 for $250, and the governor is messed up, the points won't open or close, and I took it apart and was being stupid and messed some stuff up in there, and now I need a new one.
      Where can I get one that's not on eBay for $200?
      I also forgot to say it was a Kohler K482, and I'll throw some pictures of the tractor in as a treat.
