i was finally able to mount the onan and make some wheelie bars. now i just need to get someone who can weld up a adjustable hitch and it will be ready to pull.

maybe this winter i will be able to strip and paint it.

I have been trying to get ahold of him for some time he told me it shiped quite a while back and he wont reply to any of my e mails or anything so i am about to file a claim with paypal to recoup my money from him. I do apolagise for posting this web page he seems to be one of thouse dirty cheating low lifes that prey on nice folks like us.

what ever you do do not order threw him sorry if it comes to late a warning. i have been waiting for the hitch i ordered now since mid july. he claims it shipped but i think he is a lieing low life. he wont answer e mails or anything sent directly to him via paypal complaint system. :) I do apolagise.

thing is the hitch isnt even for one of my tractors its for my dads top secret build for the local pulls. I should hide for saying it but i pull an old allis chalmers B-110 and it dose fairly well working out all the kinks and bugs and learning weight placment. every pull i go to i get further down the track. soon i hop to be in compatition form against the big guns. around here its all cub cadet monsters.

I've called him and e-mailed him a bunch myself and I've heard nothing either. I'm about to start the claim process too. If I had a welder of my own, I wouldn't have even bothered with him...

I've got 4 pullers in the works...2 of which are Wheel Horses...the other 2 are cubs :USA: I can just order a hitch for them about anywhere, but the 2 WHs are a different story. I have a Lawn Ranger that I am fixing for my nephews to pull in the kids' class, as well as another that I have yet to learn the model of that has a 16 horse Kohler engine that I'm fixing for myself. These are my first Horses, but I am sure they will not be my last. :)

those wheelie bars are just clamped to the axle the same way the rear mounting bracket for a snowplow is clamped on
