However, the 917 with all its winter gear and a mower deck is taking a trip tomorrow and won't be coming back....:( So, I will have to make the one below the primary..

rokon2813 Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 It appears it will handle the job. Nice looking WH by the way.
ReedS Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Hey look it's got a windshield wiper:D LOL (had to do that) Looks like it'll do just fine though.;)
MPH Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Them cabs are looking mighty attactive to me. Do they come with heaters??? Had to plow off the work of yesterdays winds this morning at 15 below. Getting harder to call it fun...MPH
jlasater Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Evidently there hasn't been a really big storm in 15 years around here. With the crawler I have, I'm praying for one soon :-) [img]http://www.jd40c.com/crawler/pictures/image20.jpg[/img]

I got the Wheel Horse cab from a buddy who wanted some parts I had. Found he wants something else I have now. I told him to get me an electric lift for the tractor and what he wants is his.

stormy2163 Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 Very nice Wheel Horse.Can we see some more pictures?
MPH Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Maybe you should put a b series hydro lift on it Sam, then part of the tractor be right...
AC808 Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Id probably keep the 917 and lose the Wheel Horse ..LoL jay
mowerman1193 Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Sam, Those Wheel Horse's will move alot of snow...I don't know about the blowers on them as I have never hooked up my blower to mine but boy that thing will push alot of snow with the blade...I have never added weights to it either... I think they have about the best mounting set up for the blades..I think the way they hook up under the rear end helps alot with traction...

stormy2163 Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Nice Pictures Sam...thanks for posting them.Your Wheel Horse looks great mine not look so good.
SmilinSam Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 I really havn't done any cosmetic work to the 105, and it could stand some. The 520 was torn down , repainted, re-decaled, and rewired. Alot of work, but it was worth it I think.
stumpy Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Jeremy, Yup...about 15 years since a real bad storm hit eastern OR and WA...February 1988 I think...I was just starting to haul the cow herd up into the Horse Heavens for calving to start, but the starter in the Kenworth went kaput...which was lucky. The next day the temps dropped about 50 degrees in two hours...winds that night on top of Rattlesnake Mt. were clocked at up to 136 mph...wind chills at my place were around 60 below zero or colder for two weeks. Had a 4500 gallon water tank for hauling stock water behind the Mack...even with two diesel tank heaters going the thing froze into a very large ice cube faster than it could be drained. Of course, the snow was so dry it just blew around a lot making for zero-visibility. Would prefer not to go through another February like that. Sam, That wheelhorse looks mighty fine. Had a chance at a C-160 a few weeks back but it was already gone when I arrived, durn it.

No need now Marty..remember my comment below? quote:I got the Wheel Horse cab from a buddy who wanted some parts I had. Found he wants something else I have now. I told him to get me an electric lift for the tractor and what he wants is his. Well....he just called and found one New in the box. The owner is interested in trading for a bunch of Wheel horse stuff in the barn. He's bringing him out in a couple of weeks. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
MPH Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 If you been born a 100 years ago Sam, I'm sure you would have been a famous horse trader...way to go...MPH
Bunky Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Yes Sam I have to agree you have quite the set up.... Mowerman and I have been looking into buying a Cab for our tractors, They seem like they would be real nice to have...
