Mike'sHorseBarn 2,652 #1 Posted March 12 Finishing up building this show buggy for this season. Just finishing up painting the railing and adding beverage holders. Anyone else have show buggies? It's orange so I probably can't get away with taking it to the big show lol 11 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haul my uncle around mostly since he doesn't get around good anymore and he's an allis chalmers nut. I would have loved to have done it WH red but sometimes we have to make sacrifices haha 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 7,840 #6 Posted March 13 Maybe you could add a red removable skirt like a parade float has?😂😂 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,645 #7 Posted March 13 I don't see a problem. They can be a bit fussy over there and I understand for good reason. If your hitched up to a wheel horse I figure your good to go. Just an accessory then. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The comments above bring up a good point. Does the WHCC allow implements to be another color? Ex: my Mackissick chipper shredder was very close to Oliver Green from the Mackissick factory and was marketed BY WHEELHORSE as a factory implement. I don't believe they were red ....((??)) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,948 #10 Posted March 13 Just slap some WH decals on it. Good to go. I drove around the show one year with an Allis Chalmers mid grader blade painted red on a 704. The only guy who knew was Wild Bill! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,762 #13 Posted March 13 A few years back I built a chariot mounted on a small Harbor Freight trailer. My wife felt like the Wheel Horse Queene riding around on it. We were even able to give a couple of friends a lift while cruising the grounds of the Florida Flywheeler show. It had storage under the seat and a cup holder on each side. 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'm gonna have to make some fenders for my wheels so it doesn't sling mud all over the wood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
