See what you mean about the front rims. They would look better with a different tire instead of those wheelbarrow tires.
You can look for cheap beat up tow carts as many older ones used the style of rim you want. Or even a nice one and swap those wheels on to it.
I would look for a Kohler K91 to power it

WHX??

Go check out my thread - dennys free suburban work.... I thought my fronts were shot too but they are coming along nicely. Some good tips from other members ther as well.

Did you find a steering rod? if not they are just 3/4" bar stock and can be easily made.

If you have the size and hub width and show a picture I may have rims or can locate a match for you if you are still looking.

Jim, I believe he's talking about the drag link which is the wear item. If you're not concerned about absolute original they are easily made as well. Two readily available (TSC, Ace, etc.) ends. a piece of 3/8"-24 threaded rod and (optional) a piece of 1/2" od tubing. My sector was pretty cobbled up and I wasn't real comfortable with the threads so I drilled through for a roll pin.Steering_parts_done.thumb.JPG.6c292f31e0

      The RJ58 was the big hit for spectators this year at my local festivals here in Carroll County OH. 
      the children loved getting their pictures sitting on it, then they discovered the bicycle horn under the steering wheel. It’s always a joy even in parades. Just love showing off part of my collection every year and hearing all the stories from those that had WH in their lives at one time. Can hardly wait to get to retirement so I can get some of my other models back to their glory in working order and be able to attend other shows/festivals throughout the year. My fellow tractor enthusiasts always know when a spectacular starts asking about WH, they point in my direction. I study up on the history of the different models and always intrigue those that didn’t know much about how WH came to be. This website is one place that has helped me learn so much about the WH history and I thank you for sharing your knowledge that I am able to pass on to keep WH alive and well.
