Pullstart 62,787 #3 Posted June 21, 2020 The tower looks like a 953/1054, as does the grille to me. Awesome custom! I don’t have FB, is there a build sheet with the mashup of parts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw an "Oliver" Wheel Horse a couple years ago. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,877 #7 Posted June 21, 2020 I'm digging the fenders! 66 series of IH tractors is one of the best looking in my mind and it looks great on that tractor. Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #10 Posted June 22, 2020 Nice find on this one Randy—thank you for sharing it. I agree with Kevin, it looks like they used the 953/1054 platform for the build vs the GT-14 with the combination of parts visible, especially when watching the video. In any case, their craftsmanship is amazing and overall a well executed build. I really wish that we could post the video here as that Onan with the tall straight pipe sounds very throaty—almost like a diesel. I really like the custom fenders as well. 😎 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
