More pics of my custom one of a kind Army Horse!

[Hammerhead 817]

Here is some more pics of my custom Army Wheel Horse tractor, Model # 762. Formerly the very first 702 ever made, I added a 6 Speed High/Low tranny, hence the 762. It has alot of custom made parts on it and rare WH parts as well. Some of the features are custom front bumper with attachamatic brackets, 100 year old barn wood push pads, HL5 head lights, dual 953 tail lights, dual rear hitches, 1045 front tires and monster rear tires, NOS 701 dual belt set up and NOS 701 belt guard, Army oil can with leather strap and custom battery hold down bracket that holds the oil can, 2 grenades just in case, widened drive belt guard, new style brake band and pulley set up, step down foot rests and the Army paint and decals. I used a copper fuel line and a few brass nuts and bolts. Custom Fuse Ignitor (NOS WH Cigar Lighter) and head light switch box. A ton of work went into this tractor to make it look original. I forgot how hard it is to restore a garden tractor, especially when we started to assemble all of the parts on the tractor! It is a matter of trial and error for sure. Put a part on and take it back off. If you get parts installed in the wrong order of assembly, you have to take them back off to install some other part! It all came together late in the evening one day before the Sugar Creek Tractor Show. It was received very well at the show and made quite an impression on those who saw it. A very special thanks to my buddy Larry Packrat Eads for all of his help with fabrication and assembly! He knows his stuff for sure! I still have some paint touch up to do on it and some US Army Numbers to put on the sides of the hood. But for the most part it is finally DONE! It took more than 5 years to finish this top secret machine and now the cat, or Horse is out of the bag!

Very nice.

My wife was in the Army...."The Big Red 1"...She really like the tractor when she saw it in your 1st post about Sugar Creek.

One of the best deviations from original colors I have seen! [emoji108] The only thing that would make it better would be to have in my garage!

That's a great looking tractor. Lot of hard work went into it, I know.

I really like this tractor. It would look good behind my 46 Willys cj2A if it were all together. It wears a the same paint even has the big white star on the hood. The lights on the tractor even look similar to the Willys turn signals. The glass is more cone shaped on the Willys though.

                   One last detail any Army tractor would have would be the tire pressure above each tire, That and some flag mounts and it will be perfict!

 

I may have to do one in Navy  Battleship Gray.
