Oldskool 6,640 #1 Posted September 12, 2020 I had a bit of spare time so I'm starting a new build. Its gonna be a mishmash of parts from different years,models and makes. With some home brew added in. The first to hit the chopping block was an old Craftsman. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,640 #6 Posted September 13, 2020 Just stacking up some left over pieces. The frame is a 312 and a big ole 5 lug hydro rear and I believe the seat is Fordson. Let's see what happens, shall we. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,689 #7 Posted September 13, 2020 Maybe you should put some steel lug Fordson tires to match that seat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to have a tractor with steel wheels someday. It cant be this one though. I'm building it for the wife. That's why it's going to be a hydro. It's also going to be electric start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
