Eriks Red horse herd 43 #5 Posted September 13, 2011 Its a 1964 model could be a 754, 854 most likely 854. Tank and steering wheel dead give away OR with the way they modified it could be several different years? Seems like every one likes to use wheel horses for there MAD SCIENTIST CREATIONS! still pretty cool! Good Rescue. Bring her Back to life DOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted September 13, 2011 I'm with Erik, 64, it has the 63/64 front axle, and the 63/64 tank, but the steering wheel was used in 64 up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,547 #11 Posted September 14, 2011 I hope it has a good reverse because you can't see how to go forward. You can see fine on it,it just looks like it is in the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #12 Posted September 14, 2011 I know I'm showing my ignorance here, but....is that a steam engine? It is just a very old stationary engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #13 Posted September 14, 2011 That is a very cool find Jake...what are your plans with her?? :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #14 Posted September 14, 2011 Steve,I don't really have any plans for it.I might restore it with the right hood after I finish my 60 but it probably wont happen. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JUSS10 250 #15 Posted September 14, 2011 just noticed how close you are to me... i think its pretty cool. I'd keep it as is (does it run?) and just paint it red. its definitely a cool looking machine like that. to me its more of a head turner in that state than stock....
