Was it me I would build a C-series with two pedals. That nasty front bumper gotta go. The wheels and engine need to be Navajo White. Stack can stay. I'd even go a little longer in the front. More room for holding/mounting items things stuff accessories and implements. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 24,152 #15467 Posted April 27, 2022 I’d put a front dump on it. Like a concrete buggy… just put a wheel barrow on it with pivot dump to front… 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The welded chain stack support is very clever. Mount the two ends as needed and then proceed to weld links. Turning radius would be huge, but if ya got the space, who cares! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,217 #15470 Posted April 27, 2022 Bought a couple of spring nuts and replaced two on my 312 shifter plate that wouldn't stay tight' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,158 #15471 Posted April 27, 2022 Been working on getting the Cinnamon Horse C160-8 ready for work. The Mckissick chipper shredder is hanging out on the front. That's at an odd angle I believe so I had the Olympic Weight Lifter BBT hold up the front of the chipper while I used the impact gun to loosen up and re-tighten the mounting nuts and bolts. I set the parts out for a change over to front trailer spindles and 5 spoke front wheels. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With all the rain, a little snow last week, and being out of town for 2 weeks, the grass was getting out of control. Finally got most of it mowed. The back corner is still too wet to drive on. You know it's wet when the Mallards start to move in. Can’t wait to mow with a Wheel Horse deck !… horses do make the grass greener, right ?
