Can't wait to see some pics Paul. Early on it did have some thin alum side plates but I wasn't happy with the stiffness or shape. I switched to the plastic to be able to shape it better. What transmission do you have planned for it. I thought about a 3speed, but never had any luck getting one on ebay.

Well I broke my camera here about 4 weeks ago and I have picks of my 2 other builds on the hard drive of the camera so I have no way of downloading them as I mess up the USB port on it so I am now running on a barrowed camera till my other one comes back in I am hoping next week.

So since I ran out of parts for a semi I am building for a friend till Freddy gets them to me and I ran out of Alum angle for a trailer I am building I thought I would try to salvage the night by working on the tractor so here is what I have..

So tonight I made new chassis side plates out of 1/8 inch alum sheet cut them, drilled them and sanded them and mounted them up..



Then I did a little to the hood and the seat and fender section by buzzing them down with my palm DA and I filled the missing piece in the right side of the hood and put it in K1 primer just so I could see what work I have to do later. I also made a 1/4 inch removable chrome stack too..




So that will be it for a bit I'll be working on Ace's trailer and Ed's body tomorrow again..

Ok finally I am working on this tractor to get it finished up. I have installed a R2 tranny and a 65 turn motor and a 10 tooth pinon gear so it is pretty slow and got lots of tork running a 11.1 Lipo.






Also started on the body work and Ill start on a weight rack or rock box not sure for the front of the tractor..


But now I need some input on what you guys think this tractor looks like?? I has the look of a few brands like a Oliver/IH and Minni just not sure witch way to go so lets have some input..

Looks nice, Paul. From the side, it looks a lot like an Allis 8010, but the grille would have to be changed on the front end.

Is this going to be a pulling tractor, or a field tractor?

Thanks much Nate.. I am not a Allis fan so I'll stay clear of that but Minni is the way I am going to go. I am not sure what the tractor is going to be for but I'll figure it out.

Well back at it again been playing with the brass made a roll bar set of steps and case weight bar with real lead case weights..













Lots more to due on it so keep a eye out..

Well finally got going on finishing this up I was trying to have it done for a big tractor show I was going to go to and just drive it around and pull my beer in in a little wagon but I was not able to finish it before last weekend but I got it pretty much done this weekend..So I decieded it looked closet to a 1850 Oliver and I'm a big old school Oliver fan so first things first off to the paint shop...

Frame and body.. Old school Oliver Green


Wheels and ect.. Old school Oliver mint white. Bad Pic Sorry


Ok so 24hrs later assembly..







Ok so I made the decals on my computer they came out pretty good as I had to rescale them to fit my size.


So all the guts are in the top of the hood I have it running on 11.1 Lipo plenty of power for sure.. Few other things I did if you look I filled all the holes in the traxxas front wheel to look more right and I also covered the holes in the back wheels with 1" washers I made wheel weights out of I think they look great.. I still have to finish the cab up.. Seat and dash and steering wheel along with lights and a hitch so more to come soon..
