Jake Kuhn 1,556 #78 Posted October 16, 2014 Looking great! What brand tires are those on the front? Those are a lot taller than the ones I bought for my ranger....they look real good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nhunt308 143 #79 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) thanks, I was very happy with the way the tires ended up looking on the tractor, I was a little worried when I ordered them. they are 4.00-4, the brand is "King" I found them on ebay. and yes they are pretty tall (about 12.5 inches) and they do sit the front end a bit higher than the back but I will be putting a little larger ags on the back eventually so it should work out when all said and done. I still need to get decals ordered and figure out a belt size, and im going to fab up my own belt guard because I had to move the motor back about 4 inches to clear the hood, I don't want to cut up the original incase I find a tecky someday. oh and I still need to fab up a bracket to hold the original gas tank.

Uncle Buck 246 #95 Posted December 9, 2014 thanks for the kind words, I have gotten a few more pieces painted and have started working on the sheet metal, no new pictures at the moment but hopefully soon showing some progress, I broke down and (don't Judge) I bought the HF predator 6.5 horse to power this little guy for awhile until I have the time to find and rebuild a tecky.. I just couldn't beat the price for this little worker, motor started first pull out of the box... just have to fab up a mounting plate. Very glad to hear this and I look forward to following along as you progress. I have a 68 Ranger that I plan to do the exact same thing with myself! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
