Southern Tractor's OFFROAD MURRAY!

First coat of mud

So im stuck between leaving the sides painted like that or painting the whole lower body . and just leaving the hood red and shiny and the rest of the tractor in truck bed liner spray Idk What do yall think?
Thats bed liner spray Btw

I like it the way it is now looks pretty good :p

im pissed cuz i used blue tape and it ripped the paint off dangit lol now gotta touch that up

I think that looks pretty cool just like that

Yeah i like it too now i just gotta touch up the red somehow

That looks really good maybe try a different tape so you don't peel off paint.

Yeup i also read if you use a heat gun to peel off the tape it helps not to hot obviously

Yea i use my moms hair dryer but then she wonders why its covered in paint and oil when she goes to use it.

Looks good! I would keep the sides black, looks cooler.

so havent worked on this thing ina few weeks been to busy /*lazy at work to do anything else on it but right now im making the hood quick release, so i can make a front bumper to mount the winch. also an update my tractor has been falling apart with time lost hood bolts and my dash is holding on by one bolt so i gota save this mess before it falls completly apart lol. but all in all the drive train has been a total beast hasent failed me yet 4 months of every day use of aleast 4-5 hours every day sun,rain,mud,dust, and still going strong!! double pulley clutch seems to be working like a charm too

so i decided i would use a hand truck as a simple trailer here at work and heres how i did it

DOOD!

Great minds and all that!!!

I had EXACTLY the same thought, on tuesday, this week. Yesterday I bought some u-bolts so that when I finally do get the hand truck out, to make into a trailer, I can bolt a couple of those long, metal reinforced plastic milk crates to it!

I may not connect it to the tractor exactly the same. And I'll do it without the extra wheel up front. But it is exactly the same idea!

The only extra thought I have is that it may become 'tippy' going around the steep angled corners I have to negotiate. So I may end up scrapping the handtruck part of the idea and just buld a similar trailer, with a wider wheelbase. Or widen the wheelbase on the hand truck before I use it. (Which is why I hadn't already done exactly as you have done. LOL)

Good work!

yeah man its still in the testing phase lol but thanks for bringing up the tippy part of it didnt think of it like that ill have that in mind next week ill give it to the shop guys let them beat it up lol thinking about making it wider so i can accomodate more stuff like hauling coolers and stuff on the beach lol ... ahh... yeah i wish instead of JEEP BEACH ,TRACTOR BEACH 2014  

oh yeah and that extra wheel is so you can extend the handrail and use it as a cart ...but over time we lost one wheel lol

OK Guys its been forever ;(
