Very cool story.  

 

I can add to your stage coach picture with a video.   I actually own that stage coach hitch.  Got it from Mr. Ron Christianson near Chicago, IL  He sold Wheel Horse tractors many years ago.  I was able to get the team hitch as well as his remaining inventory. 

 

Here is the link to my video showing how the hitch was set up

 

Wheel Horse Stage Coach Hitch

 

Unfortunately I was never able to get this completely set up and functional. Still have it though and maybe some day.  Be fun to take to the Wheel Horse Big Show in PA one year.

 

Thanks for sharing.

The man I purchased the tractor from helped to hitch the tractors together... I was hoping to locate the wagon and possibly the tractors but he couldn't remember what happened to them. He said Ron was a great boss and had plenty of his own tractors at one time. There's a place in Kewanee, Costins Hydraulic Repair that had built a full size stage coach with 8 hydro tractors he fabbed together using a remote control and hydraulic steering. I've tried for years to see it in his shop but he isn't open to anyone copying his work.

@hcminis Please start a new thread on this hitch. I have a strong feeling the guy’s would be all over this at the Big Show. Myself included!  By then I’m sure you can figure out who’s tractor you’re going to use for the setup. I might know where there’s one or two that might look nice hooked up to that!
