| I agree with Albert Phil, not much WD except for the frame rails up and from gas tank forward. Although....it looks sweet. If all the mods were engineered and installed correctly, and it actually works, it would be a unique machine. Paint it up and add some logos. Sure would turn some heads. |

kind of the same idea as the H-1 experimental based on the "C", in C.H. Wendel's book:

| Bill, I was just day-dreaming the other evening about how I could do something like that with some of the junk I have lying around. I was trying to figure out how to use a FWD axle from a Kubota or something like that. Just couldn't figure out how to get the power transmitted from the tranny output to the front axle. I think that would be pretty cool, even though I would be butchering a potentially good tractor. |

someone made a pretty clean one from WC's that was in the OAN several years ago, or you could just step up to the ones Thompson made out of UC pieces   ------------- Allis Express North Georgia 41 WC,48 UC Cane,7-G's, Ford 345C TLB |

That 4WDWD45 needs to be restored. Maybe add a pickup cab to the back end and use it for gettin firewood outa the timber.

would have been neat if the H-1 had gone into production though, it would be a challenge to build given that clark custom built the tranny, far from a bolt-together project....on a WD though one could run a shaft forward from the PTO gearbox instead of backward to supply the front axle, you could then use the PTO lever to "engage" the front-wheel assist like on a modern tractor, except they had a live pto and it ran nearly constant speed so it wouldn't drive with the back axle ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

I need some help here. There was a tractor like this at the Coming Home GOTO show at Union Grove WI. The owner had it hooked to a trailed and drove it with rains from the trailer, he was giving rides. Here's where I need some help. I think, according a sign on the unit, some other company produced a few of them. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

It was called the Harris Power Horse. It was one of a few 'rein drive' tractors out there. They were supposed to be an easy transition from horses to tractors.
They were a lot like a an older skid steer [Bobcat] characteristically.
