Hammerhead 817 #1 Posted October 27, 2013 Well I finally got the hard to find Model 1045 ! This is one of my favorite WH's but I never got a deal on one until now. Thanks to Speedy Leedy for the tip! It was in rough condition until I got it home and started stripping off the junk and replacing parts and tires. All 4 tires were the wrong ones. I have hoarded up 1045 front tires for years and put a set on the machine for a nice factory look. I replaced the skinny 6X12 rear tires with the correct 8X12's. Replaced the wrong seat with the correct style. I also added a 10 hp generator belt guard. I cleaned up some of the paint but didn't get too far on that before it got dark. So I will work on it some more tomorrow. I also got the original rectangle mower deck for $20.00! Bought another 1962 WH snow plow for $35.00. I just got a 1962 snow plow a couple weeks ago with that 552 I snagged. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
