@Doug, Looks like a good entry to me.

This is our progress so far we have got it extended used a front axle out of a Cub Cadet 1450 we've got tires on still lots of work to do

Good axle choice I like how the front spindles are set up etc.

Is the hood scoop going to be functional?

well it was but I decided to use the hood on something else so I found a Simplicity hood for the Build-Off tractor

This is starting to turn into a Frankenstein tractor. Cool.

Here is some updated pics of the tractor with the new hood

paint color is changing to it's not going to Green anymore that's going to be black with a deep blue

Wow, love the stance of it. Looks to be a monster in the making.

going to have a half mile turn radius ! looking good tho!

 turning radius isn't bad I took it for a test drive the other day definitely need to do steering upgrades and hook up a brake system this is where we are as of today

That thing is awesome!

Wow that thing has a long wheelbase! I like the large fuel tank up at the front

Hi guys we haven't got anything done lately we will start picking back up shortly still trying to find some parts that are needed for steering

Excellent! Thanks for the update!

we got some progress done we got the steering in and a new hood mounted everything is subject to change I haven't been able to make up my mind yet of what exactly I want this to look like but everything is used parts from around the house




Friday or Saturday I will have more pictures up once we get it out for the second  test run

Hey is that a little Ross steering box out of a garden tractor? That should be a great setup. That opposed looks good all painted up too.

From what I told it was out of a Massey Ferguson garden tractor

Yeah could be. They were used in a bunch of different tractors, Cub, John Deere, Ford, etc. They're kind of a cool litte unit.Can't wait to see the steering all done!

This is what it looks like so far today
