Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Stuart, I managed to stuff the electronics in the hood and under the floorboard. I may run a bigger battery later on, which I'll simply put in the cab.
There's actually a BEC, ESC, battery, and steering servo in all that mess.





Grainfarmer, its a MF 698. When I bought the toy used, it had dual wheels in the back, but after looking online I only every saw it with singles. The 698 was built in France, and I don't believe any of them make their were to North America. I almost switched the decals to a 275, but it wouldn't look right with the cab.

I got a set of decals from Dakotah Toys, and I'm planning another order soon for other needed items.

Tractor is finally done.
I did a few mistakes at the end as I was rushing to get it done.
Notheless I'm happy for now. I'll put a SMV sticker on the back, and take a video of it running shortly. I'm moving this weekend, so the video will be a while!

Here are a few pictures. Cabriolet version:
