Name the New Model

[Hydro 131]

Nice job making it custom to what you want. Can't wait to see the name you decide on.

I'm going to keep it simple 516 C for Custom...and as soon as the snow is gone, I'm going to get mud on it! :laughing-rolling:

Boy I'll tell ya Gary, every time I see those Vredstein tires on the front of it I keep thinking I should have gone that route on my 18 auto. That is one sexy machine.... I REALLY like those tires!!!!

Yeah Hodge, it's pretty neat sitting in that seat looking down at the front axle, seeing the ball joints and the hubs. The tires just top it off. The whole tractor looks so much heavier.

I was thinking about summer turfs but maybe not. I also thought about a stack but not sure. I cut around trees so may not be a good idea and the factory exhaust with the heat shield is really a clean look. I'm really happy with what it is.

hey gary good idea to not put a stack on a worker,when i broke mine it happened so fast i couldnt beleive it even happened,i really like stacks but not on a mower,i also worry about stuff going down the stack too,like branches and heavy stuff like acorns etc

Now's a neat looking machine. You could almost to the bigger rear wheels with that puppy

Hydro, that is a great custom build, but it almost begs for a custom hood. Maybe something like a IH Cub grille. Or a '32 Ford?

Is that forward swept axle a drop in to a C series frame?

Thanks. I get it but that would take me beyond my skill level and that might be a bad thing.

I'm thinkin the Ford idea would be the best. As I recall the cub grill is pretty open.

I think it would fit but I'm not100% sure. Perhaps someone else might know.
