kingnothing71us 108 #1 Posted October 6, 2015 I got my Wheel Horse No Name 10 a cpl. months ago. It came with 62 lb. home made wheel weights. I took them off, cleaned all the rust, painted them and made some decals. I used 1/8" pinstripe tape and ran a pinstripe around the outside then clear-coated them. Not too bad. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,559 #4 Posted October 6, 2015 Now you have to park with the logo upright! Very nice work,are those cast concrete? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingnothing71us 108 #5 Posted October 6, 2015 No, they're 2 pieces of one inch plate steel welded together. There's studs sticking out of the other side for alignment. They came up at 62 lbs each on my bathroom scale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingnothing71us 108 #6 Posted October 6, 2015 I can make more of the logo stickers if anyone is interested. Made out of long life vinyl and are high quality work. I don't cut corners, all the lines are straight and all the corners are crisp and sharp. I can make them up to 24" wide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingnothing71us 108 #11 Posted October 7, 2015 Sorry guys, I'll post pics tomorrow, ran out of daylight. Plus its a little hard to maneuver the weights with a bad hand. I did have to cut off the alignment pins. For some reason they were'nt going inside the rim like they did before taking them off. I did exchange my rins and bad tires for a set of ag tires already mounted to rims, maybe thats why? I don't know. I will gets pics up tomorrow when I finish getting them on. Thanks again guys. Oh yeah, to start a thread about making decals would almost be a waste. I bought a vinyl cutter about 9-10 years ago and a program to do the things I needed it to do to vectorize the things I wanted to make a sticker out of. Nothing more than what a sign shop does.

kingnothing71us 108 #15 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I finally got the weights mounted. I had to do alot of grinding and had to cut the little alignment studs off. The weights fit inside the rim much better and don't have so much overhang. Thats what I wanted to achieve so I wont get hung up on things and it's less stress on the bolts holding them on.

kingnothing71us 108 #19 Posted October 9, 2015 I know if I paint the front wheels Brian01, it won't stop there. Then the rest of the tractor will need paint. I may be going back to work after Tuesday so maybe I'll make some weights for the front to match the back. That may look cool. I appreciate all the compliments and will post pics if I get anything else done to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingnothing71us 108 #21 Posted October 9, 2015 Oh my, how sweet it is. I bought my tractor because I had a WH plow. I never intended on fixing it up or making it look nice but I'm real anal about something looking any less than what it's supposed to look like. Since my deck is messed up and I cant use the tractor to mow with, next summer, I'll probably end up taking it apart and blasting some stuff and repainting it. I really do have to do something with my front rims, to do look awful. I'll also rewire it because I can't stand to have something with wires hanging all over the place and not being routed right. I'm also gonna get some ag tires for the front of my tractor, they make it look so much nicer. Once I get back to work I'll see about making the front weights. I'll have access to a lathe and will make the weights look nice and fit properly. If I had the extra cash, there's a round hood Wheel Horse listed locally here for a great price. It's missing the deck and needs tires and stuff like that but it's pretty much whole. Well, I think I rambled enough for now. Great looking tractor you have and thanks for the compliments. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
