I wanted to jump on here and show y'all my lastest project. A 1960's model 704(mainly, other parts are used that aren't 704) i decided to try what I've wanted to do for a while. I had a bunch of parts lying around from other builds I've done and decided to pull out the frame and hood from the last 704 I built and start putting together my tricycle gear tractor.

Might be interesting to see how the string of lights on that wheel are used.

good eye!  I scoured up and down a few times before I saw it :lol:

 

Cool project @Traveller28!  What’s the white hood machine in the back?

Those old wheels work perfectly for wrapping lights up at the end of the Christmas season, but I told the wife she had lost her light wheel wrap this season.

Welcome to :rs:(future) fellow narrow front tractor owner!

 

Very cool 'tuff' look with what you've put together. Great combo! Narrow front, round hood and I'm guessing round fenders?

I can see the finished product in my imagination already.

Here's an updated photo from what I've gotten done so far. I found a great Kohler k161t that bolted right up. I still have to get everything sandblasted and primed for painting and finish the steering.

Truth be told guy not a huge fan of trikes nor white on a 1045 but using a old rim to wind up the old ladies Xmas lights is just freakin pure genius!

It's finished, just trying to get it running now. No luck on getting it started just yet. I've got spark, fuel, compression, and air....but still no luck

Have you verified timing is accurate?  .018”-.020” points gap should get a cough at least…

The stack, the narrow front, the steam rollers on the back, the color scheme. Love it!

Good luck on getting it running.

      Hi All, I’m a member of the RedSquare Facebook group, some of you may have seen My tractor there. I have a 1992 312-8 with a 37 inch deck. It came with a house my brother bought, and was given to me. It needed work but just minor things. I mow my lawn with it, and I just bought a plow to push snow/dirt so it’s a working restoration. It was relatively well taken care of by the previous owners so it really just needed a refresh. Anyway see you around the site!

      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.

      I finally decided to restore my grandpa's 1974 C-120 with the original HH120 motor on it.   
       
      It will be a big project and i look forward to getting it completed for everyone to see! 
       
      I would like to hear anyone's criticism or advice as i have never done a project this big especially engine work on this level! 
       
      Happy 4th to everyone out there!  
       
      BTW he (my grandpa) is waving at everyone in the picture!

      This is going to be a slow project probably but I figured I'd start a build thread. I bought a pulling horse and it came with this c-81 for extra parts. Also a kid's puller for my little girl. 
           Homely looking thing missing front tires, and engine. Steering was rusted seized along with pedals and linkages. Extra hood(I don't know what it fits) and back fenders came from the grass next to where it had began to rot into guys yard. Who knows what else its missing but rear end oil is clean and it rolls.
         This is the wife's tractor. She originally wanted any tractor I could modify and turn into a mini Ford 8N. She has since fell in love with the horse and wants it built as is.
