Yes it's a Wheel Horse plow

Thanks Erik that does make sense. Now that I think of it my boy did mention something about a b hind when he got it. Can you confirm that mine is a :wh: plow? The one in post 162

Also is it safe to say a any plow with a slot hitch is a :wh: plow or were their other brands of 4 Wheel tractors that used a slot hitch?

Differently  a Wheel Horse PP8  the second pick is from a RJ-35 brochure  1956. There was also other manufacturers  that copied the slot hitch hook up but there plows look different.  Here is my 1961 Jacobsen Chief 100 the y copied  a lot of  Wheel Horses designs including  the slot hitch.  Just changed  a thing or two to not get in trouble for  copy  right infringement. Notable things is slot hitch, transmission,  lift lever, front axle.

Been almost a month since my last post on this subject. Sooo what the heck has Dan been up to?? Well I posted some sheet metal for a C.C. that I painted black. After that I moved on to a Simplicity. Some body work followed by some white paint. IMG_20260314_144943459.jpg.a2e2d1ba0251e7262c6af5863ab17fd9.jpg

 

More body work follow by some orange paint.

This concluded the most of the Simple City side project.

 

Rest of the Cub Cadet showed up, and I finished the rest of that up this morning.

And finally I get to get back to work on my 401 project again. :greetings-clappingyellow:

 

Spent the rest of my day assembling part of the engine. I managed to find as set of NOS OEM rings for this engine. Piston that was in the engine only had 3 rings. The NOS OEM set had more rings than a guy can collect on the first level of Sonic the Hedge Hog. :lol:. 1 in the top groove, 3 in the second groove and 4 in the third groove. :blink: @WHX?? Stopped by & gave me a hand. Thanks Jim!!!

Hope to get back on track with this project. Should have more to show the next time I check in. :handgestures-fingerscrossed:
