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:

      The painted set is not perfect, a little metal pitting on one of the floorboards, a few little imperfections in the paint here and there as I'm a rookie painter, but this is a nice painted set of sheet metal to freshen up your C Series Wheel Horse!

      I have my 25A fuse blowing every time I put a new one in the slot. The old one was burnt up when I got the tractor put this year. It sat for a year with a dead battery. I stopped using it as much because the transmission is clattering pretty bad when taking off on second or higher. I had to replace the clutch belt a few years ago and couldn't get an OEM. Not sure what is the problem there that's another issue though.
       
      I have checked the wiring and patched the worn spots where it could be grounding out. The fuse blows as soon as there is power to the system with the ignition off. I'm at a loss of what to check for at this point. Any input from someone who has had this issue would be appreciated. I'm not sure what these units are in the photos but do not know how to test them for a failure. They are directly in loop with the battery and the ignition loom looks to run into that 25A fuse.

      Does anyone know where I could find a complete engine rebuild kit from for the k-19 ? I absolutely love my c-195 and have had it for years. But the motor let go last fall and I want to rebuild it or upgrade the motor, any suggestions?
