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. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,020 #21856 Posted August 4 I don’t need the $$ and don’t care if all 8 plows stay here forever.. but a guy asked if I had a 48” for sale. Said sure, why not let one go, struck a deal and he showed up a couple hours later for it IN THIS TRUCK ! That teeny-tiny red micro truck is mine 2 2 11 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thor27 759 #21857 Posted August 4 (edited) 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.
