Kev Nicley done. That conversion looks great So a 1454 model? Kinda cool looking.

 

Thank you kindly. 

 

It’s a 14 Automatic and I added the round fenders to look like a 1045, so I called it 1445.

All of the  at the Pullstart Ranch have names assigned, the 1445 is about the only one that sounds like a real, from the factory name.

Yes, as an afterthought or to appease the purists,   BUT        Frank was Frank long before being renamed 1073.

If I can't make them like I want them, then I won't keep them. 

 

I always wanted to say I had an "all original" tractor. My 701 will be close but not perfect. Absolutely none of my machines exist without mods, and several are complete mutts. I actually prefer them that way, because my tractors are all one of a kind. 

 

I think Kevin's machines are great. They are maximized for his specific needs and wants. I do the same with mine.

I’m inspired by many things.  Parts available, my tools on hand, and sometimes a little moonshine never hurt nobody.
