T McCool 287 #9 Posted January 2, 2014 Here is the customized Gravely plow. Shortened the frame 18". Narrowed the blade 6" so it would fit in my shed. Removed the pitch lever and linkage, removed the scraping blade due to my gravel driveway. All in all i eliminated roughly 40lbs. Those plows are no joke. It was a gift from a co-worker so i worked with what i had. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T McCool 287 #10 Posted January 2, 2014 And here is the mini barn for the steed himself. I built this out of a shipping crate. I lucked out and picked up the roofing from a good freind for free. I have a total of $40 wrapped up in this thing. 2 boxes of hardware and 4 2x4's. Its my mini cabin lol. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cruisnblue48 783 #25 Posted January 3, 2014 Nice looking wh, Trent. Welcome to RedSquare. I am also in PA, south central parts. Yup, you will need lots more lumber to expand your barn for all the "other" Wheel Horses you don't have yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
