One of the coolest modified Wheel Horse tractor or tractors was two early to mid 60's that had been fixed together side by side. I only saw it in pictures about 5 or 6 years ago. It was an excellent job. Maybe TT or one of the other members that have been collecting for a while will have a picture of it.

The plow is from a ditch witch, flipped upside down and added a cutting edge to the bottom.

Great machine buddy. What do those new hood decals say?

Charlie

They say "Cowboy's High Horse"Guess that's where the expression comes from?

"Livin' high on the Horse!" :smile:

      I’m looking for wheel horse tractors for sale or for parts in the Eastern Nebraska or western Iowa area. Preferably 8 speed manuals. Pm me or comment with what you have. The worst I could say is it’s out of my price or distance range. Edit: engine is not important, it’s going to get a big diesel swap.
      Thanks,
      John

      Hello fellow Horse Heads long time no post for me, life gets crazy & a lot of things change sometimes but anyhoo. So back a few years ago when I first got my 1994 314-H I had it at my shop going threw it. One of my customers walk past as im working and said, you know I think Iv got a Wheel Horse & im thinking "no you dont buddy". I give him my # to send pics thinking it was a big waste of time & after getting the pics I realized he did have a Wheel Horse! I hand shake bought it right there, asked him to bring it to my store & he said no problem. Well after almost 2 years it is finally in my orbit. I know very little about it other than his father-inlaw got it new and used it around his house moving snow and stuff. His father inlaw moved down south here when his daughter got married and gave the tractor to my customer because he had a farm & his the inlaw had no use for it anymore. Same with every barn find, "it was running when parked" 8 years ago, said one of the axel seal is leaking. Im happy and hope I can get it back in running order soon cause it is going to be handy around the truck farm!!
       
      I will post Pics as soon as I reinstate my membership
