A cultivator made from the tops of propane tanks was what I first saw online. Darn thing looked pretty easy to make to.

Not claiming its the most clever, but I like my pressure washer attachment. I detailed it here.

A front trailer hitch  made to fit in attach-a-matic  (using old mule drive)  !   A really neat  attachment and works way better than a ball on the back of the tractor !

Not an implement but an attachment that works great on 1054 Wheel Horse tractors!

 

A rear drarbar hitch  that is made to allow the slot hitch to also work  in conjunction with the  mgallery_339_37_401596.jpggallery_339_5_770663.jpgulti-holes in the drawbar for pulling , etc

That is the best tbarn!! :handgestures-thumbupright: No more wheeling the darn thing around. Best thing about a washer is it is easy to get out and get going...you just made that a whole lot easier!

 

I'm sure it has been done but can find a pic...... a log splitter

So far my vote would be for the chicken plucker....There was a thread on the forum for it.

Here is a "depth Guide" I found on a parts D I picked up.  The slide to the right of the driver has marks to indicate how low/deep your attachment is.

Looks like it would be good for getting rocks out of a new garden plot

Or using it for gravel drive way ,, or for digging with blade us the teeth to losen up the ground, sort of like a ripper,, thats a good idea for a back blade,, put bunch of teeth on it like a ripper then push with front blade,,

So far I have:

Pushed hot ashes and spread them

Knocked down chest-high weeds in the back forty before mowing them

Spread ground tree trunk where the chunks were about the size if a man's fist

Pushed large rocks

Dragged it backwards, roughed up the soil, and planted grass seed

Pushed a very large pile of leaves from the back of the house to the tree line, 35 yards away

 

There's more, I;m sure...

      I am selling a 1970 Wheel Horse Electro 12. It is in *working condition*.
      It has AG tires and a mid-mount blade from wheel horse. 
      It also has a front mounted generator that currently doesnt put out power. It has been in the barn quite a while, so it may be a corroded connection,  not sure. Although there's not too much that goes wrong with them. 
      The tractor has been a great one for me. The last 6ish 7ish years that I've had it where I lived it brought the gravel back up my driveway for me every time it rained. In the last few months, it would run for 20-30min then die.
      I was moving at the time so just didn't have the time to look at it. And it seems I still don't. Where I am currently I don't have a place for it. I don't want it setting out and deteriorating. So here we are.
      Please contact me by text or email. 
      Thanks for looking!

      i know that there is ebb and flow with market conditions, but I have been seeing bargain 520 and c-160 prices more common. I recently saw a c-160 like model on a place other than here that was close by, but i did not get a chance to see it as I was still on a medical tether getting care. i say c-i60 like model because it was a series of numbers like 4455 or somesuch .Tractor had the k series engine clearly a sixteen HP and came with a decent looking deck and pusher blade. i called my buddy Jay and told him for the $250 ask , he better hustle after it. i really do not know if he did.
        I also have been seeing 520s and such lower than I can remember as well as the D series..My theory is that people experiencing paycheck to paycheck living are increasing in number.
      You even are seeing a lot more older trucks like square bodies and especially big blocks than you did before. we used to see this a lot in new trucks when fuel prices hit records.
      i am not claiming expert status on this, but it seems to be trending this way one county next to indiana and 90 miles North of the Ohio River.
       Tell me what you are seeing out there and what you think. 
           Edit:  Jay and I ran up to buy Bob Ellison's tractor in MI.  Bob was very nice to deal with and included his "last seat"   I got super lucky buying my first C-160 that did not start and another one shortly dropped in to keep it company. The tractor described above was listed for only two days and was gone

      Hi Guys, has anyone put the 3/4 inch Thrust steering bearings on your Wheel Horse Tractors. I recently did an install for a customer on a John Deere and i have to admit was easy to do and no mods required. My biggest concern will the thrust bearing fit and the will stock top clip fit back on with no mods . Thanks
