About 30 years ago I bought a 1963* Wheelhorse garden tractor. 7 HP Kohler and a 36" mower deck. Used it to mow the lawn at my business.
But then we bought an adjoining 10 acres and did a high-grade logging job (which paid for the property). I brought the Wheelhorse home and built a trailer that held 1/4 cord to get out the tops and do some thinning.
It had R1s on it, but that wasn't enough - I was really taxing it hauling 1/4 cord of green firewood...
Somehow I happened to find a matched pair of mounted tires, got some threaded rod, welded some spacers onto the bead area of the rim and bolted them together. Still got stuck a few times, but it was almost like turning it into a MFWD!
*funny - at the time it seemed like an antique. But today, the equivalent would be a 1993, which somehow doesn't really seem that old. I mean, I have kids older than that! And, they're kids!!
