You can raise it to the height you want with the adapter. Better rap that thing with paracord like in OldWorkHorses picture so you don't freeze to it that steel gets cold. It comes in an old hippie multi color that you would like and fits right in with your tractor colors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What with the camping we do I've seen many different colors of paracord. Very entertaining for a 5 year old such as myself. I have gloves to keep my hands warm so I'll be fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just looking out for you son, don't want the Safety Police after me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse 3D 3,795 #1030 Posted March 25, 2021 Heated from the inside? Insulated nicrome wire? You'd have to engineer a way to operate the contacts to compensate for the turning of the wheel, unless your steering tube is hollow, then you could just run a wire up through like the horn on the old willys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much chance I'm going to heat this steering wheel but just out of curiosity what is this nichrome wire? 28 minutes ago, Wheel Horse 3D said: A good suggestion and much appreciated. I think.

ebinmaine 67,545 #1035 Posted March 25, 2021 You know. I got to correct that a little bit. Depending on the day I'm about halfway between Orinn and Tell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to have around in case you need a resistor of a specific value and don't have one, you simply snip this wire to the correct ohm value! Its great when you apply some voltage to it for cutting glass bottles, making heating coils, cutting foam etc. etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
