What is it? Exactly.  First foot operated hydro I have seen on a Wheel Horse.

 

100% homemade or custom cobbled together mess that I made after seeing Matt's foot control kits. Big difference with mine is the pedal itself is from a Kubota. 

 

Frame and tranny from a 312-H, center column and sheetmetal from a 518-H, front axle and rear wheels from a 520. Everything else doesn't even belong to a WH. I built the engine with a NOS Vanguard 23 block and donor engine. And of course Terry made me custom decals for the whole tractor.

Something looks a little odd here too...

 

 

Almost like the wheel is ready to slide off the axle?

Now I'm gonna have to go look at that !

 

Can't really tell it by the pic, but there is a spacer on each spindle. That's the way I got the tractor. Now I'm wondering about other 175s.

Tire size, 15 X 6 - 6

Excellent!

 

Mine was a “field find”, no spark special… $50.

 

Got it running, tuned up, fluids etc. and ran great for few weeks… then the piston daylighted along with the rod… broke case in 3 spots…

 

Predator works great… we’ll see how it plows snow this winter… it’s backup to my C 105.

Tractordata does not list a 523, go figure.

My C 105 and C 85 are both 8” fronts… same with my E 141…can’t believe the 175s came with smaller… I’m guessing PO swap before you owned it…

It didn't.  They came with 16x6.50-8 and no spacers.

 

Greg, the PO definitely swapped more than the engine!

So you are saying that the piston Divorced the rod and took a hike through the case. I hate it when they do that---And I'm unanimous in this.

Kinda the Wikipedia of tractors... Some useful information, but accuracy completely dependent on the knowledge of who put it up, and fact checked by people who know less than the author.

 

Nice quick reference, but not something I put alot of faith in. 

 

Now that I said all that, you are correct: the model number was completely my own creation. No such thing exists outside of my garage.

Agreed. 

@Stormin is that a straight black paint or ...?

Need sunglasses to look at that 420 , very nice Don, both of them. Now put them away before a seagull spots that louvered hood !

@Gregor  those wheels do not look like original  w/h , could have come off a number of small tire / wheel anything . the actual axel bearing holder tube , tells the story , horse wheels  have an end to end fit on the axel ends,  personally I like the look of the 8"  wheels up front, changed over my later horses over to 8,s ,all 3 match , Navajo  white paint , pete

It means the Raider 12  does not roll down hill, hit a tree and bend a spindle when it jumps its stall.  No more washed out driveway... BONUS... that always meant blade seat time to push it back up.  It means no more ending up at the mail box when Achto comes to visit and had a few too many.  No more having to chock the hydros  with a stripped parking pawl at line ups. Note the empty stall and the  Super C that didn't like it's parking brake and refused to participate in the fun! 

 

Jeepers cats them all my tractors? Some has a problem with pre '68s! Maybe that's why the 195 was havin an issue?

Really a nice winter pic there Richard ...missing some RED for a calendar shot tho.

My definition of too many = "I ran out"  Don't remember running you dry there Jim. Course, then again. May be I just don't remember.
