FastPaul Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Got bored yesterday and this is what happened , I just got to stretch the hood and make some permanent side filler plates for the front side panels and run the exhaust in the front behind the grill tee it off and come out each side so she'll have dual stacks:D and yes there's an old parts tractor out back missing the front of her frame :( [br ]
xenon172 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Definitely different and nice work. Not sure what you are trying achieve but I hope you post more pictures as work progresses
Simplicity85 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 NICE if you can come to the Eliot ME tractor show bring that.

Not sure what you are trying achieve but I hope you post more pictures as work progresses Really not trying to achieve anything.was just bored. although it would make a great pulling tractor or I was thinking, I have some aluminum rims that will bolt on the back and lower the front end and put some smaller wheels on the front,a small pulley and make her go a litte faster :D who knows?
SimpleTom Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Very nice Paul! I am actually working on something very similar but without a welder I chose a different way of achieving a similar result. I used a 3 speed trans from a 7000 series tractor which lengthened the frame. I also installed a Briggs 16 hp twin engine from an old Gilson I had parted out. I plan on moving the foot rests and pedal back also. Tom
richp Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 With all that new real estate, think of all the stuff you can mount up in front. Maybe a pump?
Glen112 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Great Paul, it looks like there is room in the secret compartment up front for a 12-pack of beer. It might be hard to keep it cold though sm03 Glen
B-16_IC Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I'm looking forward to the progress pics. I think it is a good look, will no doubt look great when you are done!dOd

PeppyDan Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 It looks like you're all set to shoehorn a 60" mowing deck under that beast, I hope it 's got the power! Dan
SimpleTom Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I found these pictures on the internet awhile ago. Tom
tracktor312 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 That would be a nice tractor to ad a mid grader blade on. the long wheel base will make life easy. Nice work
MPH Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Boredum can be a very creative force, I like it. Now put a hydro pump and tank in that extra space up front and build a grader blade with hydro angle, pitch control and up and down. With the extra length you should get a flatter grading job.

[/quote] I noticed that too! It looks like the second pic is actually an earlier shot because if you also look at the exhaust in the two pics you will see the single carb setup has more professional looking bends and flanges on the pipes.

daninghram Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 It would look cool with a belly grader blade on it.
jdwilson Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 This one here ought to be able to pull something!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL6XQP6lHxU&NR=1
