rokon2813 272 Posted March 15, 2015 Not much Simplicity left there, but lots of good "project" parts. With that much weight on the rear, I wouldn't put much faith in it having a good gear box, differential or transmission...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_H 92 Posted March 16, 2015 woah...Saw Grand Rapids in the listing title, and thought Holy Cow...I gotta go check this one out...Kinda like Edgar Allen Poe's "fascination with the abomination" Then I saw it was Grand Rapids, Oh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 2,014 Posted March 16, 2015 Incredible. It does look durable. Other than maybe hydraulic lift for the implements, this tractor does nothing more than it did from the factory. So why reengineer it? That Onan performer would be better suited going into a 318 or other larger class machine with an existing factory hydraulic system in place. All those hydraulics and he does not even have the plow converted to hydraulic angle. I have to say this may be the first hydraulic drive tiller I have seen on a gear drive garden tractorsm00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
