Well he's kinda right but it's his fault feeding me pulled pork and captain's and building fat tractors that give me stupid ideas! ! After a bit of discussion and some more name calling yah they don't' look right... off to look for some wider say maybe 10.50's ags that run wide for the rear. Sure does steer nice tho! Thers a set of spacers on that parts tractor Dan we're supposed to give back to Al. Gonna pull them and see what shakes. Dibs on them 8.5’s Jim! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,632 #6709 Posted September 22, 2020 found if you regularly put lubricating oil on a rusted area , like that cross pin , the regular movement of the horse , will let things move about with out rusting. by the way , nice job on that pin , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many more of me are there?? As for hitch pins, I use the same as Lee.

Jhook 849 #6717 Posted September 22, 2020 Couple better pics of the cab. The front bracket that bolts to the floorbloards looks like it will fit great with some slight bending. Only part im missing is the left side that goes around the floorboard. No big deal. Rest of it is in better shape than i thought. Rear mount will have to be fabbed up as my seat bolt holes are only 14 inches apart and the mount on the cab frame needs 2 holes 18 inches apart. Also no big deal. Ordered some 40 gauge (1mm) thick marine window plastic to replace 3 windows. 2 yards should do it. Pretty excited to get it cleaned up and mounted in the next week or so. Going to attempt to make it somewhat of a quick release cab where i can simple pull underneath my deck where i have 2 straps hanging down, lift the cab off the tractor, then pull away. Very happy with it for the 125 i paid. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #6721 Posted September 23, 2020 I found this looks much better imho Jim, that rear to front give a more accuracy line. another possibillity could may be put under rear tyres distance plates with 1,5“ - 2“ 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll have to change to studs and nuts and expand the holes in your existing wheels just a hair. I can PM you more info if you're interested... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
