ebinmaine 67,628 #54 Posted January 25, 2021 I'd say that the cab is not super old because it doesn't seem like it's all cracked and faded like a 50-year-old cab should be. The rest of the tractor ... who knows? There's plenty of us who are fully capable of producing something like that. My view. If the price is right and the machine is solid, go get it. I don't know that it's worth any particular amount of money over and above what a standard GT 14 would be. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff-C175 7,202 #63 Posted January 26, 2021 What strikes me is that if it was built for snow only, why turf tires? Of course they could have been changed out during the intervening years, probably were, but just an observation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #64 Posted January 26, 2021 Definitely cool and unique, especially if it does have the one-off cast pieces as discussed. I don't care for the cab, looks kinda hack compared to the work on the cast parts and the rest of the tractor. The way it hinges back looks like the builder took the easy way out to not fab doors / a door. Would be a neat tractor to have 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,912 #66 Posted January 27, 2021 @19richie66 @gt14rider @Aldon any ideas as to originality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gt14rider 765 #67 Posted January 27, 2021 First thought rear fender off a small Tug, as used on air port flight line maybe? Fenders look short. If for snow only, someone used attach o matic mid mount, far as I know GT 14 did not have manual clutch, floorboards not right, and if factory you would think they would use a wheel horse cab. Yellow paint on levers reminds me of old military equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #68 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Was thinking about the yellow levers. I could see it military gray. I agree on the tug theory. Factory or not it would be neat to have. By dash, headlights being “off”....... looks like they just adapted brighter lights to the hole. Edited January 27, 2021 by 19richie66 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,508 #71 Posted February 7, 2021 Where did the pictures go? @johnnymag3 Did you get this one? I was looking at some photos this morning and the D250 fender pan looks almost just like the one you had pictured here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,912 #74 Posted February 8, 2021 So how ‘bout you become the owner quick like so we can see more pics? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,884 #75 Posted February 8, 2021 I read the other thread that the owner made. Two things come to mind, I guess you shouldn't have posted them.if your agreed not to, but anyone not wanting you to research something they are claiming is trying to pull the wool.over your eyes. I don't believe it's a prototype, most prototypes are more crude in look because they are just R&Ding to see if feasible to produce. I just think someone made a nice custom, and it a guy looked enough, we would probably find where those fenders came from. I doubt they are made from scratch, but ya never know.
