Custom 3d printed badges, ornaments etc.
Wheel Horse 3D posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I recently began pondering what all i could 3d print to dress up a horse. I'm pretty good with deaign sofware and came up with a couple small items to start, and figured i can easily print things like headlight covers, hood ornaments, and badges of all sorts.Then I wondered if maybe rather than a decal if i 3d printed an embossed plate or sorts with the appropriate graphics in 3d. These could be enamel painted, or printed in a silver that would give a brushed nickel type of finish. Here's a couple photos of what ive created thus far in some gray test material. Please let me know what ya think. -

My lowered wheel horse build
Burnerman posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I’m building a lowered 300 series wheelhorse. So far it’s a combination of 3 scrap tractors. the frame, trans and tins are from a GT2500 anniversary special given to me by a neighbor with a trashed Briggs. The Kohler M12 is from a junkyard 312 that was roached. The parts tractor I’m using for the build was another older 312. I’ve got the k301 in the garage. The trans was toast. Both axles wallowed out keyways and 1 axle actually broken. Anyway! I needed a project and a toy to putt around the neighborhood. I couldn’t find any other posts on how to do the whole thing. I’m trying to keep it cheap using stuff I have on hand and looking as “stock but cooler” as possible. So here we go. I’ll update this as I go along.- 97 replies

8 Speed Hi-Low shifter fork repair and design
r1jakecfd posted a topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Hi Everyone, The Tranny in my 310-8 would not shift from high to low so I decided to "crack" it open. I'm sure many of you could quickly forecast the problem. Yes, the beloved Hi-Lo shifter was in 2 pieces! I had never dealt with this before but after researching it on this site it seems like a pretty common problem. I have 2 questions: First, has anyone had any success with a weld repair on this part. Second, has anyone proactively "beefed up" or extended the welds on this part to decrease the failure rate? It seems like the short weld bead ends at the thinnest part of the sheet metal component. It seems like If you extended the weld bead further around the circumference of the peg then it would reduce stress and solve the failure problem. The only thing that I'm not sure about is if there would be enough clearance with the extra weld bead around the gears? Any help would be greatly appreciated! John -
A while ago I picked up a Canadiana 5hp heavy duty tiller. It features forward and reverse control and you could buy add on implements for it. My example unfortunately suffered a catastrofic engine faillure a.k.a. 'window' in the block. Hence it was cheap so I picked it up. The idea I had for it was to mount it on the rear of my 'Murray to IH 1568' build. However since I bought a Wheel Horse i've been thinking about mounting it on the front of that tractor. This is what i'm thinking..

Just got my FAVORITE rag in the mail today, LGAT and just thumbing thru the pages to get to coverage and I find this. Our very own @Achto's rat rod! We hauled this thing out to the BS last June and well trained eyes in the form of Matt @grnlark Castagno spotted it as a center piece for a such a well written article. Dan says a big THANKS Matt! This tractor is always a show must have for Dan and gets looks....alot of looks. Too many as it would seem as youngsters want to play on it and pick the moss off much as Gretzki (his wife as I call her) would have done..oh no no no... patina. I remember one lad proclaiming at one show "daddy this tractor has grass growing on it, we need to mow it!" I think it was at Symco Dan I CRS but 'bout died laughing. Had another looking at it once and said why don't you sand...I stopped him short and threatened bodily harm. Since Dan is considered a regular at most of the shows we attend the Rat Rod is quite well known local and he, and I the few times I have run it, often get the flip up hand signal meaning do a wheelie. Unbelievable how people just love that! Now I had known about the Rat Fink caricatures for many years but never knew about the Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's creation of such a character that provided such a good humor to many sports & hobbies and it will be always a big part of Americana history. Thank you Matt for that tidbit of info. Many more pics and input to follow.....

Design by Nathan Amyx & Barry Gundlach started as a basket of 854 parts. powered by 6.5 predator with build kit. Currently produces appx 11-12 hp. The larger wrench on left side is hand clutch. This has right foot throttle control. Yes, it’s pretty fast. I’m really happy with the way this turned out. My entire collection is Wheel Horse Custom Modified’s. This fits right in.

V drive pulley for 13 hp Predator?
giddyap posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
This is my first born custom and is still under construction. Only one of the hoods, gutted frame, seat tray and seat are from my recently acquired 551 Suburban. A newer 3 speed transaxle and belt guard will round out the remaining Wheel Horse parts. The front axle is flipped and moved forward 6 inches. Its origin along with the tie rods and steering column comes from a 102 Cub Cadet. Taking 2 steps back for every advance is part of the fun. But now I'm at a loss and overwhelmed at all the V drive pulleys available at Phoenix pulleys. Can anyone suggest what pulley I should use with the 13 hp Predator? Thanks in advance- 121 replies

Modification by adding deck wheels to WH 211-5
Willhaven posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Has anyone tried adding/installing deck wheels to a WH 211-5SB? If so, is there a specific make/model that would work best on this tractor? My lawn doesn't have the most level of surfaces, so adding wheels will save me from multiple scalpings (I think). -
I started my second full custom a day after the Big Show. My first was a supersized Suburban built right here under " V drive pulley for Predator" After laying out everything I brought home, I bolted two frames together. I then added a Commando hood, wheels and Lawn Ranger seat pan. The stretched horse was blah so I flipped one frame and was inspired with the Z frame look. I added a round hood and other parts and came up with my 2 seat concept Not apparent in the photo is the long section of frame behind the rear wheels. Here I will mount a 420cc Predator and connect a live axle with a go kart clutch. No transmission and no reverse. I believe this setup will be more like a "dune buggy/rail" or go kart impersonating a tractor and should be a wild ride.

About 30+ years ago my dad who is now 80 was working in a sheet metal (HACV) factory and decided to make himself a rear clevis hitch mounted scraper blade for his CC 1200 to repair our 1/4 mile long driveway after winter and rain storms, so with an old pair of cast iron plow shares he got his radius to break a piece of 12? gauge steel for the moldboard approx 6" tall by 48" long with 1/4"x2.5" flat bar for the wear edge (that was later upgraded to a car leaf spring), he also bent a piece of 3/16" into a "U" for the swivel mount to the moldboard then a 3/8"x2.25" flat bar for the lift/pull/swivel arm, finished off with the clevis to attach which he also drilled to be able to tilt for pulling side ditches, long story shortened, it worked very well for many years with my body being extra weight when necessary, after I moved out to find my own way he added brackets for extra weight, fast forward to the past few winters it sat outside the shed where he accidentally ran it over in the snow with my Kioti, so the last couple months I've been in the process of fixing it for him/myself and here's a few shots of the broken to fab to final (hopefully a bit better and easier to angle plus turn for pushing version) waiting on paint stages that I just finished up today... Father's Day, Jeff.

Portland, IN 3/17/17: VW Powered Wheel Horse
ztnoo posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Any one seen anything like this before??? Its a dual port I believe, which would make it 1600cc? Quirky for sure. Never heard it run. Have to wonder if there's enough air movement to keep the thing cooled. No shroud or fan........doubtful, IMO.- 9 replies

Has anyone ever made their own hydraulic 3 point/front loader systems? I would really like to put one on my 414-8 but don't want to jump into anything without any knowledge. By the way I am new here and just now learning how the site works. Thanks and God Bless.

Three point hitches are handy & I've seen some nice ones put on Horse's here at RedSquare. Member "kpinnc" custom build stands out. Member "stevebo" 3PH is another. Those are just a couple off the top of my head, there have been several. I wanted to give it a shot...so I came up with this. 30 second 3PH installation. Step one. Step two Okay I cheated a little bit. It's a Koplin 3PH designed for ATV use, rated at 200 pounds lift/300 pounds downforce. Made to fit in a 2" reciever hitch & powered by an electric actuator. I seen it on Craigslist, haggled with the seller & went after it this morning. It fit's right in the 2" receiver hitch designed & built by member "smoreau".

Who has a customized/built 'worker' dump cart to show off? I'm hoping if I see some others, I will be get some ideas for my own. I have an old steel dump cart.... it was "custom" made (Frankenstein-ish from many parts) approx 40+ yrs ago, and my dad used it with his old gravely.. later with our 310-8, then later with my ZTR.... May have started life as a Gravely item, IDK. It is just a square cart, approx 3' x 5', x 1' deep... with 1 1/2" square pocket stake pockets in the corners, and a top hinged removable tailgate, 4.80x8 tires. I'll try to add a pic later. I want to restore it to some degree, still gonna be a worker. Want to clean up the rust, paint it WH red, new tires. I will create a removable front and sides that can insert into the stake pockets to increase the capacity for things like leaves and firewood. I'm thinking of PT decking for the side rails. Maybe a spray-in liner material for the inside? My goal is workable, durable, and decent looking!

Customized,Rare,Weird,Diffrent,Unique Wheel Horses
Charlie Smith posted a topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Hello All. I have been looking around in my spare time. For rare, unique, coustimized, Different, coloured etc wheel horses. I've found some great ones out there. I was wondering do any of you have any pictures. Here's the ones I've found..... -
I know when this subject came up a year or so back, I put together a quick drawing on how I used to duplicate a tractor wiring harness using a section of plywood as a guide. I recently broke down and purchased an expensive open terminal crimper to do a half dozen or so C series harnesses for family and friends. I figured "In for a dime , In for a dollar" and decided to share a real life example of a harness replication jig. The board is just a scrap piece of MDF which was either going into the garbage or was going to be put to some temporary but significant use. Some scrap MDF shelving laying next to a C series in need of repair and Bingo -here we are. If the original harness can be pulled out of the tractor without too much damage, layout the harness on the board in a logical arrangement which will make use of all the landscape on the board. Major connection points can be held in place with screws or rotating screen door latches. The same latches can be used to call out major artery junctions in the harness. The latches can be used to secure the old harness to the board and create the jig The latches can be rotated to allow easy removal of the old harness or the completed new harness. Single wires can held in place with wire hold-downs used for bell cable or speaker wire. The length of all the OEM wiring is called out and the jig allows for increasing the length of wiring as required for custom installs. The crimpers and terminal rings should arrive early next week. I'll finish, wrap and test the new harness and post additional pics at that time.

Thanks to the input from everyone that chimed in on my "Introductions" post, I am now the proud owner of a B100. This is my first tractor and I'm pretty excited about it. I found this tractor on CL. It was more than two hours away so I was hesitant to look at it because there were a couple other Wheel Horses that were closer and cheaper, but this was the only B100. So I posted on this site for input, and everybody recommended the B100. So my two year old, Demarco, and I took a little road trip out to take a look at it. The guy that was selling it worked at a Wheel Horse dealership for 20 some odd years before they were purchased by Toro. Now he buys old tractors, fixes them up and sells them. Although this one shows its age, he did a great job getting it work ready. The tractor fired right up. I took it for a ride, ran it through all the gears, ran the deck and just played around with it for a while. Everything seems to work great. Only a little smoke when the choke was on at start up, no oil dripping that I could see and the rear axel seals are holding in the lube. I ended up paying $500 for it which may have been a little high, but it was complete, came with a snow plow and needs nothing done to it (other than making it pretty). I know you guys love photos, so I took some for you.
