JanGaLanG 53 #28 Posted September 29, 2023 Got it looking pretty decent and had a fun time getting it ready for Grandpa to drive through the parade next week. Going to get the throttle setup right and should be ready to go. Going to have to do some adjusting on the belt sometimes it will slack up enough and other times it wont. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,740 #29 Posted September 29, 2023 Looks good. A future modification you might want to make is to ad some pipe and route the exhaust pointing forward. Wouldn’t want to burn grandpa’s leg. The original exhaust routed forward and the pipe had a simple cover over it. The hood stand has 2 holes in it for a U clamp to support the pipe going forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah your right, A wheenie pipe was all I had that would work on it. This weekend I plan on breaking the bender out and making one dump stright down from the motor and shooting out the back. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjoemie himself 3,068 #31 Posted October 1, 2023 Cool machine you got there. Has a kind of 'restomod' feel to it. Rear wheels/tyres seem to be a bit larger than standard? Got any info on what brand and size they are? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rears are normal sized. It the much-smaller-than-usual fronts that are skewing the proportions. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JanGaLanG 53 #39 Posted October 8, 2023 Had alot of fun with the tractor Saturday. Grandpa drove it around town and loved it. Unfortunate I didnt get a chance to get a picture of him riding it as I was taking care of the kids. But my Brother in law and Nephew drove it through the parade and loved it. I had at least ten people try and buy it, looks like im hooked and looking for a couple more. 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If & if you can find a hood most likely as much as you probably paid for tractor or even more! I'm looking for a RJ hood w/fuel tank also...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
