Hey everyone….I’m building another tractor for pulling. I was searching the web for custom colors on Wheel Horses but every search I did only comes up basically factory colors. The steel wheel’d tractor was the most different looking paint job. I’m looking for custom paint jobs and any other paint colors except red. Well unless it’s burgandy or some candy job.lol... Please show me what you did or have found on the web. 
 

let’s see some different painted Wheel Horses! 👍👍

I have a great appreciation for the differences of color but I do have one rule. I refuse to paint a Wheelhorse the color of any other brand. 

 

 

I dont have fresh pics so here's a few older threads...

Click the pics.  

 

My original B80, Patriot Horse: 

 

 

 

 

Trina's Pony:

 

 

Trina's Military Tribute Tractor  "Millie"

Orange is my favorite color but I'll not have an orange Wheelhorse because it's too "Kubota".... and others. Allis Chalmers, JD patio colors, etc...

I always liked this one, from @jachady.  We haven't heard from him in several years, but he used to run a small garden tilling business with this tractor, maybe still does.

Ahhh yes. Remember the late great Stormin and his black horse too. 

 

 

Also like the white ones. 

@squonk has a neat one. 

 

There was another member years ago too.  @Gregor I think?  Had a Casper.

Yepp. The Military Tribute Tractor is mentioned above. 

 

That red one is my 1975 C160 Automatic. 

Brighter red than OE Wheelhorse.

Orange of some sort was a thought I had. Black wheels would look great.

That’s a great color combo! At first I thought it was a White tractor. Great look! 👍

This tractor is what my original thought was for paint. I was going to do a bronze wheel or black.

It's fun (and useful) to use Photoshop and AI to try different paint schemes before actually investing the time/money/effort in a new paint job.

 

Here's my New Holland in its current New Holland blue paint, which I like quite a bit, and don't plan to change:

 

original-newj-holland-blue-paint-scheme-smaller-image.jpg.0f5b333d392d8a727e2710baa74db5e7.jpg

 

Here's a bright green version:

 

green-paint-scheme-1-smaller-image.jpg.0d660684468198147b722d66455ab38f.jpg

 

Red-orange with flames:

 

flame-paint-scheme-1.jpg.5bdd2179bf6ca0a250880e3d9069d755.jpg

 

It doesn't look too bad in white:

 

white-paint-scheme-1-smaller-image.jpg.fc6186b4fd09dfd6525c85a2f4b5b197.jpg

 

Black with chrome wheels would be a mean-looking machine:

 

black-paint-scheme-1-smaller-image.jpg.e448b753aca8ebe061a468bfa3013afb.jpg

 

Bright yellow would stand out from a distance:

 

yellow-paint-scheme-1-smaller-image.jpg.a763026b91f0b2432c54d4fb0057d0f4.jpg

 

Plaid, anyone? (you could do this with a vinyl wrap)

 

gt-almost-finished-1-changed-paint-color_copy.jpg.11830d98c64ba155ad4354a3a99af5d2.jpg

 

Bright silver paint:

That’s a great idea! Easy way to try out paint colors in your tractor. I need to embrace technology more! lol
