:handgestures-thumbupright: That's some power and a nice option to have access to.

We can bend up to 3/8" in 12' lengths. 1/2" in shorter lengths. Cool tools to play with.

Ain't  it tho. I thought it was great to have access to one that would do 18 ga. when I worked.

Does that get welded to the F plate then or just the tranny bolts?

You could Market those. 

 

I'd buy one for the 75 C160 Automatic plow tractor. 

 

VERY nice work.

If I had all the tools to do the job at home, I'd make up a bunch of them. :thumbs2:

All of the pull on this tractor will be primarily on the transmission its self. Having the front end in the air with occasional slamming back down to the ground could be a recipe to damage the F-plate

One thing is a for-sure no-brainer; drag racing or pulling will let you know what the weakest link is.  Correct it and you will find the next weakest link. :text-coolphotos:  Those beautiful new front tires and wheel should never wear out with the front end two feet in the air.      :ychain:

Very nice work.

My threading dies are not the type that go all the way to a shoulder, as yours do. Very handy!

Turn the die over after it gets to the bottom on the initial thread cut.

:text-yeahthat: That is exactly how I accomplished bottoming the threads out.

VERY nice work on that full custom hitch Dan. 

 

Like the metal gas tank. Just seems like old tractors should have a metal everything. My Cinnamon Horse C160 has a steel fuel tank out of an unknown donor. Believed to be an old Cub IIRC.

A custom made shoulder bolt across the wheels? :dunno:

Good idea Fish. He says guys run 1/4 aluminum plates and they don't bend.

Wait till you guys see the front weight carrier!

Pretty easy to fit my rear, cause I ain't got one. It seems to have moved to me belly area. :lol:

I like that idea! Just have to check if it will have any chance of coming into contact with the chain on the eliminator.
