Picture....

looks like a mud-bog truck . first time I've seen the bigger tractor tires used.

Shame to ruin a nice binder pickup like that. Not many of them around anymore.

Use to be a junk yard up the road that put tractor tires and a winch on their lot trucks, and the old boy never wasted a dime on gravel.

The bet was probably rotten just like the rest of them. :lol:

Looks like a rearend off a 460-560? What happens when you put in 4wd and start changing the gears in the back?

Harold H · Jan 9, 2012

Looks to me like they just ruined a good truck. I don't know what the rear end is from but it is definitely not a 460 or 560 or any other simular sized Farmall of that era.

I'm thinking maybe Allis? Or Ford? Those fenders are not IH either.

Thats a casse of more money than sense. What a good waste of both a tractor and a pickup.

Trucktor?

I'm willing to bet they have more money wrapped up in paint than in parts. I would assume they threw that together from junk, then prettied it up after they realized at actually worked.

Or does it?

I'm surprised that someone has not commented that knew the truck. I'm thinking I saw it at a Roundup, maybe LaPorte?

Why does everybody just ASSUME that the truck was "perfectly good," or the tractor for that matter?

JRSutton · Jan 10, 2012

I gotta say that's pretty cool looking.

Just wish it were accompanied by one of those disclaimers "no tractors were hurt in the making of this vehicle".

Makes me cringe, but you gotta appreciate the effort.

Definitely interesting to look at - and at least half of each is still alive, so not a total loss! Better than melting them down.

I remember seeing it, I think at Mansfield.

SadFarmall · Jan 11, 2012

Well indeed, it looks like the paint is very nice, but what do you actually do with it all? No good on the road. Impossible to see what you are towing (if anything). Paint too nice to work in a wrecking yard… my Farmall is hiding in the dark - it's scared!

I haven't seen that unit here in Ohio for several years probably around 15+- years but at that time they said it was a Massey Ferguson I believe was a 180 and have seen it hooked to a pulling sled. If I remember correctly they had it geared so both the front and rear tires turned at the same ground speed. Wondered what happened to it.
