On Mike's picture @Sparky it looks almost like the rear fender from a Work Horse. They differ in some of the holes on top and they also have no ridge across the back. In the pic below, regular Wheel Horse fenders had a ridge that would normally be just below the white line in the Work Horse decals. Second pic has the ridge. Must be another example of WH using leftover parts on different models. Edited January 5 by kpinnc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be nice to have hydraulic lift. And the MPG thing. Tundras like mine (same vintage) are legendary for their dependability but also for guzzling fuel. I’m usually at 14-15 just knocking around here local so I was real pleased to break 17 yesterday. Does that have the 5.7 or the 4.6? My sequoia would barely get 15 mpg!! Nice tractor! It looks to be ‘low hours!’. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 15,864 #55 Posted January 7 Possible blasphemy, but wondering if all y’all have noticed that a Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna will get highway mpg in the very high 20’s and, with the rear seats folded/removed would keep your tractor coddled and out of the weather. Heated steering wheel is an option in both. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've looked at them again over the last several years but have not gone that direction because I drive over 60 miles each day and I need better fuel mileage. Used Honda Odysseys are what I was looking at. I really don't like the exterior looks of pretty much any minivan on the market but the cargo space. Good gravy man, the cargo space.

Used Honda Odysseys are what I was looking at. I really don't like the exterior looks of pretty much any minivan on the market but the cargo space. Good gravy man, the cargo space. Understood on mileage--vans are not practical commuters. My SIL commutes 60 miles RT with a Chevy Bolt and is quite pleased. He has a home charger and daughter has a hybrid car for her short commute and for long trips. Yeah, the exteriors of the minivans are awkward (personally, the Chrysler is the least objectionable) but the utility is undeniable. My son and DIL with their three children are very satisfied with their new Odyssey for long and/or cargo-laden trips despite not being thrilled with the exterior--my grandaughter points out that once in the comfy and spacious interior, you don’t have to see the exterior! We went through four minivans over the years we had children at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
