Hammerhead 816 #1 Posted May 11, 2014 The Sugar Creek Tractor Show was a good time for everyone! It rained for a couple of hours and a few people packed up and left. It cleared up later in the afternoon and most of us stayed around until the end. I unveiled my custom one of a kind 1962 Army Wheel Horse at this show. My buddy had his custom one of a kind double engine Wheel Horse there too. We wrenched on my War Horse for a week straight to get it finished up for this show. It was a lot of hard work assembling all the restored, custom and new parts. It was received very well by most everybody who checked it out. Quite a few Army and war veterans were impressed by the machine. My Redsquare buddies were there too and seemed to like the resto job and custom parts, thanks for your support Tim SpeedyLeedy, Mike 55rj35jr and Derek Octfst and others! As soon as I backed the tractor out of my van, a few people swarmed over to it to take pics and check it out! I had to back away and I shed a few tears, I wasn't prepared for that! All the hard work had paid off right away. I started it up for the first time after the crowd backed off. It ran good and my buddy Packrat(not the packrat on this site) fine tuned the carb. It ran awesome right out of the box! We had one problem with it, the new voltage regulator wasn't working properly. I drove it over to the tractor area and parked it for the day. We will have to replace the regulator later. So here it is guys, let me know what you think. There is alot of rare and custom made parts on this hawg so click on the pics and go over it good. Check out the Serial Number, the very first 702 ever made! Thanks for looking....Hammerhead 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,524 #2 Posted May 11, 2014 To say that's impressive is an understatement. I love the little extras like the 'fuse ignitor' and the grenade plus the hi/lo tranny. Great job!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

groundhog47 347 #8 Posted May 11, 2014 H...h, that is one really neat customization. Where in Vietnam did they use that model?, Very early in the covert involvement, I'd guess. Am planning on the 8 speed for my 66, does the Hi-Lo present much of a problem fishing up into channel between seat and under clutch cross shaft, just awesome! Would like a better view of friends Double powered machine, looks great also! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
