Default Back in the saddle again!soon to be skidder!

Purchased a pricey J/D tractor a while back for the cab.Managed to come up w/most of the parts to do my build,except for the pump. When I placed the order for the pump,was told don't hold my breath waitin for it.
Well.....Here it's one year & 3 months later! & I have my pump!
Good thing I didn't hold my breath!
Anyhows,got all the goodies back together again,& got a good deal done yesterday. She's not going to look just like the 1:1,But close enough for me.
So here's what I've got so far.


Of coarse,front axle has to be able to pivot.


Now the rear frame.



Wanted to make the hood nice & narrow like the 1:1,But ain't no way all of this is gunna fit in it.

Turns out,the drive line is no walk in the park. Had to git tricky with the parts to fit it in.


Don't know if I'm gunna stick w/these tires.


They bite real good,but don't know if they look ok.
Wachya think?
Thanks for lookin!
