T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #1 Posted November 19, 2007 I saw this project over on wfm. It's a '73 Wheel Horse, not sure what model. But, it looks like an interesting project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #5 Posted November 20, 2007 Thats pretty slick, I have seen some Lennox dozers converted over. A custom scratch built crawler is another thing all together...very cool Stephen in northern IN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better yet, recruit them over here. I can see see the wheels in Mith's head turning all the way in NY.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #13 Posted November 24, 2007 That last one on the bottom belongs to Larry Greener...it's a pretty neat setup with a small diesel in it. If I could fabricate "like Eldon or TN Crawler" I'd like to build a single wheel setup out ahead of the tractor like a Silver King tractor or an old CASE SC. With a steering box under the hood running a linkage outside the tractor just like the above mentioned. I'd do it to a pre 65 tractor with the round hood.

kpinnc 10,683 #14 Posted November 25, 2007 I'm like you Stephen- I dream of doing the things people like Eldon and Bob have done. I can make it look good on paper, but the finished product leaves a little to be desired... Mr. Greener must have some gifts... His tractor is pretty dogone tough! There are some very talented people who post here. Ever since I joined, I've done nothing but brainstorm- I LOVE IT! I'm so glad this site was put together. It's definately a great one!
