This is a troybelt that we got from a friend it was in very bad shape tires flat and dry rotted and thier was a rats nest in the motor that is when we thought of making it a rat rod but first we had to collect parts but while we where geting parts we fixed it so that it would run and drive
this is the pipes that are on it each one is smaller then the other 4 on each side it makes it looke like a V8
there is 25 inch snow stud car tires that we spray painted white walls on it also did the same with the front 16inch
the gas tank is an old air compresor that we put a hole in to put gas in it
the hood is off of a david bradly power unite that has been cut and welded to fit the motor
the trans is a hydro with forward and backward
this is the thorottle with a old rusty tool welded to it
and the finished project cool right

Really cool, definetly outside the box thinking. you guys nailed the rat rod look, probably the coolest looking tractor Ive seen. I love how you dropped the seat down into the fenders, and the seat itself. did you make it from scratch? you might want to see about moving the tires a little closer to the rearend, there was a guy that welded car tires on the rims like that, he used to run with us, but he only got a couple rides out of it after the car tires. its broke the tranny in half when he went over a little jump, it just had to much leverage on the transaxle. Course he weighed about 240 which didnt help matters lol just food for thought

so this build is done the trans has been replaced, it is for sale he is tired of it so he wants a off road build because we have over 1000 akers of land to ride on and a rat rod isnt good for that he will trades he wants a murray widebody the same style feerlessfront has and a little cash or $800

so guys just a lil update this is stilling working and driving but we make a custom bearings job because the axles are wearing the case out so we welded a pole to the body and then slid some spaces with bearings on them on the axles to now there isnt much leverage ill get pics as soon as possible and we put some racing gas in it and now the motor is really low on compression and spark but its still a working progress and slowly getting better
