Teddy da Bear 11 #27 Posted November 14, 2008 Sweet looking restore! What is that attachment on your rear lift cable??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronscat 2 #28 Posted November 14, 2008 I don't have a clue. I guess you are talking about the thing with the 2 bolts in it that looks like a plate with a thing in the bottom that you could stick a smaller bolt or rod thru. I've been trying to figure out how you hook a plow or something to it but couldn't figure it out......As you can tell I have no idea what everything does on these wheel horses. I've got a Sears with a 3 point hitch and can't decide what a person does with this kinda lift on the back. Also the cable to the lift is missing so I got to have some help on putting it back too. I appreciate all help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy da Bear 11 #29 Posted November 14, 2008 With the lift tube and cable lift assembly you can lift a plow or tiller. You might have a homemade device there. Maybe it was meant for a ball hitch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronscat 2 #30 Posted November 14, 2008 Is rhat called a sleeve hitch on my tractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #31 Posted November 14, 2008 This part is the Wheel Horse Clevis hitch. It was the Wheel Horse hitch to use the Brinly Sleeve Hitch implements. This part I don't have any idea about... I can't think of any useful purpose for a plate to be bolted to the clevis hitch like this. Those bolts are intended to stick out of the back of the hitch, not into... they are for stabilizing the sway of the implement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronscat 2 #32 Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks Jason. Off the plate comes. I couldn't figure it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailman 1 #33 Posted November 16, 2008 Wow. From what I can see, thats a pretty sweet paint job. I'd love to try that with a Raider 12 I just picked up. I couldn't hope to have it look that good though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronscat 2 #34 Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks Eric. It's just spray can Rustoleom Regal Red from Walmart. The top of the hood and fender top didn't turn out as good as I would have wanted but it beats how it looked in the first picture. I hope to complete the painting next week - if time permits.

ronscat 2 #35 Posted November 17, 2008 Found some "stuff" in my junk: pile:http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/ronscat/?action=view¤t=P1000058.jpg http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/r...nt=P1000057.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #36 Posted November 17, 2008 Neat "stuff" couple of Brinly pieces. Not sure what brand the sleeve hitch is from. There's a number of cultivator parts on ebay right now if you just search "brinly" you might be able to put that one back together! Oh... and the tractor looks nice. Not to start any debate or discussion on it, but our old family dealer always told me Regal Red Rustoleum was the correct red for Wheel Horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #37 Posted November 17, 2008 That's a Brinly hitch and cultivator. Just got caught up on this thread. Nice job on the WH and welcome to RedSquare BTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronscat 2 #38 Posted November 17, 2008 Well, I have a few things left to do but basically I am through with the "red paint" on the tractor metal. I got a little carried away with my headlight cover after overspraying. My cleaner took off everything, so guess I will have to buy a lens cover unless you guys have any ideas. I still have to get some 3 inch by 3/8 inch bolts for the clevis hitch and hook up the hitch with a cable, etc. It also has to have a battery. As you can see above the day I brought it home and here it is today (Haven't been on the project very long): http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/r...nt=P1000060.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
