Maybe, I did save the calendar date reminder that was on here, on my phone. Besides the guy I bought my plow from I haven’t met any other Wheel Horse enthusiasts except for the group on here. It was more the paint looked good so I thought I’d finish it off visually.

 

 

It's a great time. Folks coming out from Ohio and NY this year!

 

Bring the Other Half and enjoy. 

There's trails to ride. Lots of machines to see. 

Bunch of food. 

 

You'll have to tolerate me but get to meet Trina. 

:ROTF:

Meet johnny cash, a one peice at a time tractor. First mock-up on its own wheels. Tons to do but it feels like progress. 

 

 

Looks super beefy. 

What size tires?

Thanks Eric,  they are 29x12.50-15 bkt, and 18x8.50-8 Hartford, all 6 ply.

I've been gathering parts for a few years, gotta say up front it's not a 195, but I've sourced as much as I could from one Lincoln had, and a few other sources.   Stretched a frame 7", 4 in front, 3 in back, based on the length of the motion rod so i was pretty happy that the 195 stuff and the hoodstand bolted together.  Front axle is 195 with 520 spindles, i cut down a deere ram, and plan on using a charlynn valve from a roper.

Originally planned on using a K582, but I've come up with a magnum 20 instead. I plan on eventually moving my loader to this.

Edit: The rear fender is one that adams94 reproduces, it's a work of art.

@Sparky

did you make sure that load was properly balanced and secured??? I am concerned @Pullstart's hauling guidelines weren't followed... :angry-tappingfoot:

I'm sure it's Redneck Approved. Looks like the mud flap bracket is holding it in place.

Just took the 48SD off the 312H.    Brushed the grunge out,  oil draining bath, sun bake, and put to bed for the winter.
