tarcoleo 119 #1 Posted April 3, 2019 I just wonder if anyone has ever taken a Wheel Horse drive train (transmission and axles) and used it to fab a two seat novelty sport "roadster"? (parade car) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarcoleo 119 #3 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) That's perfect. Very cool. Love the fenders and lights. Anybody else? Perhaps a little larger? Edited April 3, 2019 by tarcoleo Addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,323 #4 Posted April 3, 2019 OR THESE! But the one that mike showed you is my favorite, it belongs to @turnnleft. He and his grandson cruise on it a lot. 4 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,014 #5 Posted April 3, 2019 Some of those look vaguely familiar. If you want to go wider, go with dual wheels. Tire size will determine how wide you can go, like dual 6-12s will end up about 42 inches wide like pictured below and then dual 23x10.5x12s will go super wide. You can fine tune the width with custom wheel spacers to get the exact width you want. To stretch and go longer just add angle steel to the frame but going too long will make it turn like the radius of a greyhound bus, so keep that in mind. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was from @squonk‘s pics. Zooming in, I think I was correct about it being a B-80. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of cool rigs in this thread. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,913 #14 Posted April 5, 2019 I haven’t seen “Big Red” before, but I have a feeling it might be the most useful of pickup style Wheel Horses! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudrig150 298 #19 Posted May 23, 2019 Interesting shifter. Guess your passenger shifts and you steer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bear G 690 #21 Posted May 23, 2019 You can reach around to shift pretty easily. butvif there is a passenger, yes, it’s easier to let them do it. And much safer if it’s your buddy’s wife. Lol 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't have to haul that thing all the way out from Ohio if you want to hear air horns. But I think I want to ride on it.

Bear G 690 #25 Posted May 23, 2019 Unfortunately, we won’t be able to make it the big show in pa this year. :(( but you a re welcome to stop by the Ranch here in Ohio and ride “the stretch” anytime. Yes, I think folk in pa might hear the horns from Ohio. They’re loud! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
