First foot operated hydro I have seen on a Wheel Horse. 100% homemade or custom cobbled together mess that I made after seeing Matt's foot control kits. Big difference with mine is the pedal itself is from a Kubota. Frame and tranny from a 312-H, center column and sheetmetal from a 518-H, front axle and rear wheels from a 520. Everything else doesn't even belong to a WH. I built the engine with a NOS Vanguard 23 block and donor engine. And of course Terry made me custom decals for the whole tractor. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I'm gonna have to go look at that ! Can't really tell it by the pic, but there is a spacer on each spindle. That's the way I got the tractor. Now I'm wondering about other 175s.

Mine was a “field find”, no spark special… $50. Got it running, tuned up, fluids etc. and ran great for few weeks… then the piston daylighted along with the rod… broke case in 3 spots… Predator works great… we’ll see how it plows snow this winter… it’s backup to my C 105. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some useful information, but accuracy completely dependent on the knowledge of who put it up, and fact checked by people who know less than the author. Nice quick reference, but not something I put alot of faith in. Now that I said all that, you are correct: the model number was completely my own creation. No such thing exists outside of my garage.

peter lena 8,631 #1241 Posted December 6, 2021 @Gregor those wheels do not look like original w/h , could have come off a number of small tire / wheel anything . the actual axel bearing holder tube , tells the story , horse wheels have an end to end fit on the axel ends, personally I like the look of the 8" wheels up front, changed over my later horses over to 8,s ,all 3 match , Navajo white paint , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It means the Raider 12 does not roll down hill, hit a tree and bend a spindle when it jumps its stall. No more washed out driveway... BONUS... that always meant blade seat time to push it back up. It means no more ending up at the mail box when Achto comes to visit and had a few too many. No more having to chock the hydros with a stripped parking pawl at line ups. Note the empty stall and the Super C that didn't like it's parking brake and refused to participate in the fun! Jeepers cats them all my tractors? Some has a problem with pre '68s! Maybe that's why the 195 was havin an issue? Really a nice winter pic there Richard ...missing some RED for a calendar shot tho.
