giddyap 1,568 #1 Posted October 9, 2019 My little cart started life as a #2 IH but I now consider it part of my Wheel Horse family. Two years ago I painted it red, raised it and put "big" 16x6.5-8 tires on it. Big, ha ha. Then I found really BIG ems 20x10-8s that were the drive wheels from a JD LT155. Playing second fiddle is my new to me, days old C165 that I bought from the original owner, but not before he assured me that he was ready to part with it. I absolutly love it, 11 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 62,932 #2 Posted October 9, 2019 Love the look of that trailer. I did a similar thing on my stone trailer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In between I managed to build a 230' zip line. I still have to finish a complete do-over of our backyard landscape before winter. Then a few days ago I saw a C165 for sale in markertplace, was lucky to get it and here I am. 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giddyap 1,568 #8 Posted October 10, 2019 I will try to post a video but not today. I found this vital turnbuckle on marketplace an hour away for only $20. It is one of two needed for the 200+ long line 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giddyap 1,568 #11 Posted October 11, 2019 Warning: Not for the faint of heart. This video shows a 69 year old man on a zip line. My Wheel Horse is midway after which the ride slows considerbly so it was ended short to enable posting. 00058.MTS 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,332 #12 Posted October 11, 2019 Cool, but no harness or anything? Yikes! I love zip lines, and kind of getting close to that magical 69 number you mentioned. You're not suggesting I have to stop at that age when I get there, are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
