Wheel Horse Hood Ornament

Recommended Posts

Anybody know where I can find one of these. Not really looking for an original one. Would be fine with a reproduction.

I would try "Wheel Horse Parts and More"  Lowell is one of our vendors.  He may be making them now.  :occasion-xmas:

   A couple of our other vendors may have the original part.

what kind of quality are you looking for?

I think there is a couple older ones in my dry shed, I'll look tomorrow and double check.....and take a pic or two.

That would be great. Quality just has to be decent. I'm not really restoring the tractor, just tired of looking at 2 holes in the hood.

0There is a member who makes them out of plastic. They have a rubber base. You can also get one with the horse head and tire. I'm trying to remember his member name. I'm sure someone will post it.

3D's stuff is nice. Toying with the idea of one of those ornaments myself.

The one I found is rough and missing the retaining washers/push nuts. I tried to run a thread on one post and it worked ok the other one twisted off.

Maybe sand a little and some spray paint. A dab of epoxy??

If you want it I can toss it in the mail. My treat.

Just PM me a USPS address.

I cleaned one up with some fine grit paper and silver paint. It's not chrome of course but looks fine.

 

I had WheelHorse3D make some "skirts" for mine, and they look great!
