I'd be moving living room furniture out to make room if I had a tractor like that. Beautiful job ! It seems like Wheel Horse knew what kind of accessories to make to really make their equipment desirable well beyond the simplicity and quality.

 I got it off the big auction site, it is a (race car) quick disconnect - that’s what the red hardware is that it’s bolted to.  Just simply lift up and  the steering wheel comes off!

Exactly my plan - we've used those disconnects for years on our Dirt Modified and Late Model cars and I'm familiar with all the adapters , just wasn't sure from the photo . The way you trimmed it out makes it almost look like some special factory option - great work . Not sure how the bling would look on the old crusty D , maybe I'll go with the matte finish or black....lol .

I just don't care for the D's wheel and it's angle , especially trying to run a spinner knob on it as it can't sit flat enough even with shims and stay tight enough to work when it picks up that heavy blade I modified ...

 

Thanks , Lowell..

Lowell, that just ain't right!  You get to ride around in luxury while the rest of us hum some ear worm that we last heard in the truck:text-lol:.  Beautiful machine.  Please bring it to the Big Show this year for us to see in person!

I intend on bringing it to the Big show along with a 701 that’s ready for reassembly and hope to have completed in the next couple of months.

Jeepers cats Lowell the more I look the more questions I got!   What's behind the PTO to run the HY and the drive? Got a shot of the lift cylinder mounting/rock shaft setup? Did you use the original HY pump mounting?  I Noticed the custom bend  in the HY spool lever! Also the custom bent shift lever.....Going down that road right now myself! May have to chew some butt for not doing a build thread on this!
