Here is the customized Gravely plow. Shortened the frame 18". Narrowed the blade 6" so it would fit in my shed.  Removed the pitch lever and linkage, removed the scraping blade due to my gravel driveway. All in all i eliminated roughly 40lbs.  Those plows are no joke.  It was a gift from a co-worker so i worked with what i had.

And here is the mini barn for the steed himself.  I built this out of a shipping crate.  I lucked out and picked up the roofing from a good freind for free.  I have a total of $40 wrapped up in this thing.  2 boxes of hardware and 4 2x4's.  Its my mini cabin lol.

Yessir that is the horses stall.  Stays dry, no leaks, withstood a serious storm last summer with winds topping 60mph. Im rather impressed with it.

Welcome to the board! Great looking building and tractor! I lived over near Conway, PA for a while when I worked for Norfolk Southern. I really enjoyed the steel city!

:WRS:   Always looking for new Peeaaaers.  Better start collecting more free lumber to add a wing on the cabin.....These little red tractor multiply like rabbits. :ROTF:

Nice looking wh, Trent. Welcome to RedSquare. I am also in PA, south central parts. Yup, you will need lots more lumber to expand your barn for all the "other" Wheel Horses you don't have yet.
