What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Some work on new steel box for WH trailer (dump trailer). Undercarriage needed some work,but that is the base for new "dump box" , aside original platform for hauling wood (2 in 1). Materials: old 2 wheel wheelbarrow, old bed frame, scrap metal and  some new metal pieces. Fit for wooden pallet 120x80 cm.

 

 

 

My original modified patform for hauling wood, hay, grass,branches etc

A couple of vertical pieces on each side would strengthen the frame considerably since both top and bottom would work in tandem.  Many store bought utility trailers use this idea.

Not mine but a customer's. Sharpen blades & change oil & check over kind of thing. Repair a busted coil bracket. 

Real nice '82 C-105 all original. So nice his one may not leave the ranch. The mafia may have to make an offer he can't refuse...   First step was a bath.

You know you need a Black Hood in the stable...

My daughter has very little interest in my tractors. She like to drive them once in a while, but that's it. 

 

That being said, she really likes my black hood project. She talks about it every time she walks through the garage.

You have to get her out in the garage to help you.  Does she like to paint?

I didn’t physically do anything to the tractor today, but today I did order a trailer hitch from wheelhorsepartsandmore. I kept seeing nothing but very good things and reviews on here and few others so I bit the bullet and ordered one. I look forward to getting it and bolting it up .

Every time my youngest daughter (30 y.o.) is in town she pulls out some overalls and asks what we're working on today? She especially loves working on my '01 Jeep Grand Cherokee, or the '85 SB I recently sold.

I thought they was a red headed step child. Then I got one and it grew on me. Then I put solid motor mounts on and it was all over.

Lots of progress over the last couple days. Got the replacement motor installed in the C175. Runs like  a top.

 

 

 

Replaced the leaking axle seal on the GT1800 and finally installed its new shoes that I’ve had settling for 2 years.

Is the spec number on that KT-17 24336??  It is a series 2 service engine that WH ordered I guess to replace the failed series 1 in a lot of C-175...

I have a couple here in use from @76c12091520h Brian Badman. 

 

Excellent hitches. I highly recommend them.

Polished some transmission shifter balls. No before pictures, but these were really rough and faded gray.   Sanded them in drill press 180, 320, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000. 

Polished them on a buffing wheel with white rouge.   I have the drill turn the opposite of the buffing wheel.

She hasn't really done anything like this kind of painting, but she is a awesome sketch artist. Point being she has an eye for detail and a steady hand to go along with it. Maybe she'll learn to paint and help me a little.

Same here. To me at least, some looked great but most were ugly. 

 

Now that I have mine coming along I'm really liking the lines and look of it. And I've begun to appreciate others that I dismissed before.
