Latest project

Will get some better pics once tractors come out of hibrenation in the spring. Built this 88 for antique pulling in 4500 pound class. Still have to finish the yellow lettering on grill strip and axles , and somehow totally forgot that the tub should have been yellow under the grill, but may just leave it green as I went and put the 88 decal on after this pic. I built this all from bits and pieces I had in my scrap yard so not exactly a correct resto anyway. Hope to have some fun with it at next years local pulls.

Quite the interesting front end there.
Neat build there. Thanks for sharing. GG Wes

I don’t know much about pulling but that 88 looks like it’s ready for action
Nice work!

18.4x38. I widened out some cockshutt 30 rims to keep the wieght down. I was looking for a set of road worn firestones, but ended up buying a new set. Probably not the best choice, and kinda wondering if I should have went with a 16.9? I have a set of well road worn 18.4x38 firestones on my 88 standard that seem to work well on it so didnt really think about 16.9's.

Thanks I was wondering if someone would notice the cobbled up front end. I didnt have a decent narrow front to put on it, and wanted to keep it light, so used parts I had from a 66 wide front, and made axle from light piece of tubing, and though I better add a stiffener under it so didnt bend if the front end ever comes down hard. Ended up a few pounds under what the narrow front would have been.

That's not cobbled up, that's neat, I wondered if it was the starts of a 66! Neat work. Good luck with this coming year. GG Wes
