Any one into making personal designed tractors. I took a unused deserted Massy 1350 garden tractor and stuck a Four cyl. perkens diesel from a thermo king reefer off of a transport trailer into it. Into doing that I designed and made a replica Leon loader scaled to one on my Farmall 450 wide stance. Works very well in snow and cleaning sidewalks around the bloc and at work.

One guy I know made a cub cadet (110 maybe?) into a crawler tractor. He made all the parts himself and it's really slick. He also took a front axle from a Jeep and made another one into a 4x4. Again it looks really slick.

I've done nothing along those lines yet except make plans. I hope to build a tractor for use in vegetable production, similar to the Allis G, Tuff-bilt, and Saukville.

I see that Saukville has a new high clearance model with plenty of horsepower, i.e. 37 hp.

I like the thought of cultivators and seeders directly in front of me.

That's the one! I was in his shop as a kid lots of times and he did inspire me quite a bit as I am now a machinist myself. His shop really is something else, and most guys would be jealous to have 1/2 his equipment.

He started out collecting and restoring Oliver and Cletrac crawlers, but then they got to be too much and he was running out of room. So he sold those and started doing the same with Cub Cadet lawn mowers. Everything on the crawler as far as I know is based off of the parts for the Oliver Cletrac crawlers, just made smaller. Woulda been really fun if he would have made scale tin to make it a scale OC-3.

Now he's not as into the Cubs, and he's working on his Mustang and Taurus SHO's. He's got 2 or 3 SHO's I think.
