I kind of like that Roper Orange as well.
Just about the end of where I am tearing down.
The front end will be coming off as well.
That front axle as mentioned will be moving forward much like I did with the green machine. See if I can get that front bolt on the axle bracket sharing the same bolt as the front brace. So about 7 give or take inches forward.
Items I plan on needing.
- 4on4 hubs front. (Unless I get crazy and try something else. This tractor is fair game)
- 4 inch pulley for rear. (I'm going to try the trick of drilling out the welds on the hub so I can pulley swap it. Thank you tapered shaft for making is so darn easy. #sarcasm)
- For the sake of saving $$, the Dirty Rat's road tires that are currently on re will be going on this tractor.
- Build a new Engine plate.
- Paint, I'll probably go with Craftsman Grey and Roper Burnt Orange.
- New seat
- Lights! May go with some full lights on this thing like I did with Sasquatch II build. TBD.
Future plans beyond.
- 2" Reciever for pulling the small trailer.
- Front bumper
Before I go buying any of this stuff. I need to replace an upper idler on our van. Aye... 2023 has been vehicle wallet drain.
