1960 "Steel Horse" 400 Suburban with the powdercoated k91 nearing completion

Just a few finishing touches to go. Needs decals and the letters painted plus that little id plate between the throttle/choke. Runs like a champ and i cant wait to get it out in the yard.

I just thought it would look different, the rear wheels are off of a graham paige or frazer rototiller and the front wheels are off of a gravely rotary plow.

Beautiful paint.

You did a beautiful job on your tractor.

The steel wheels bring back memories of years ago when I was young.

The farmer I worked for had an Oliver with steel wheels for brushhogging the pasture fields with. The multaflora rose was terrible in spots and no worries for flats.

A kidney bruiser even for us youngsters. And to hit a hidden linestone, lol, bout threw you out of the seat.

Again, a very nice job.

I absolutely love it. It has the look of an old school down on the farm owner revamped tractor. Classic! :thumbs:

It reminds me of one of those "tractor" sprinklers that follows the path of the garden hose.

........and this one:

[Dion H Daniels 26]

That ones a little fancier than mine. There are a few like it out there but there are a ton of "original" restorations. I like to change things up, got a couple other crazy ideas for restorations. My problem is i have more ideas than cash to get it done.
