well guys i need a little heaver tractor so its time to buid one heres
the pics so far what you think jim

 

[Mark777]

Whoa....I love it!

That's some serious modification and I really like your rear hitch setup...

I can't see the engine (What'cha going to run for an engine-have you considered a lil diesel)?? Oh, and the vertical towers tell me there's a FEL in tractor's future ?

Very nice,

Mark

It's looking good

 

[Mark777]

Again, Very NICE!

Have you upgraded to 1" spindles or are you running the 3/4"? I ask as some have reported the upgrade makes the steering (and shear strength) much more manageable. Yours may be already 1" stock but I don't see any lug bolts on the front wheels....

Just wonderin'...

What did you use for the rear (3 point) lift cylinder? It doesn't look like a Case cyl, but looks good.
