Raposo 530 #1 Posted October 11, 2021 This tractor has been great, when I bought it she was really really rough, she’s getting there! Below are some progress shots through her life. next up will be to blow the old wiring out and the 8 horse and throw a 10 horse k series in it. First picture is my son on it 1 year ago 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,677 #3 Posted October 11, 2021 Excellent rides, those. Is the 8 horse tired? Or are you just looking for a little more from the 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have another machine I need the 8 horse for, it’s a short frame so I’m limited. This will fit the big block 10 easily. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raposo 530 #9 Posted October 25, 2021 Lens cover, fresh decals and swapped the rubber seat out with a leather 3 piece seat. Next up is ripping out the 8 horse and getting the 10 horse ready to go in. I will clean up the engine bay and wiring also! Super happy with the look 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moparfanforever 854 #10 Posted October 25, 2021 Your tractor looks great !! You might want to rethink your engine swap , pound for pound , the eight horse engines are a tough combination to beat. It will handle most any job and sips fuel doing the job. Whichever way you go , cool looking tractor !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whichever way you go , cool looking tractor !! I love the 8 horse, the only reason why I am swapping it, is because i need it for a short frame machine. The 10 horse big block won't fit in the short frame but will be right at home in this long frame, it will be a B-100 with a 4 speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
