grnlark 490 #1 Posted November 23, 2011 I bought this roller from another member cheap just to build something fun. I've kinda been keeping my eyes open for something to stick my puller tires on and a twin cylinder Vanguard motor I've had kicking around. I have no interest in pulling, I just wanted something with big stupid tires that would also be obnoxiously loud. I have no idea what model tractor this is or was. The ID tag says model: 1 4631 Anyway, here are a few preliminary pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,022 #2 Posted November 23, 2011 Matt, That's a 1968 Commando 6. Had a Techy HH60 originally. P.S. You sure you won't sell the Struck :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grnlark 490 #3 Posted November 23, 2011 P.S. You sure you won't sell the Struck I'll never say never, but I don see it happening anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorHfuhruhurr 137 #5 Posted November 23, 2011 May I ask what size those tires are? They are MASSIVE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grnlark 490 #7 Posted November 23, 2011 May I ask what size those tires are? They are MASSIVE! The tires are 26x12x12 but I can't speak to the offset. I have no clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #8 Posted November 24, 2011 I think it would look better with a mower deck. :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,277 #9 Posted November 24, 2011 I love the stance it has with the huge meats in the back and those little fronts. Perfect rake! Mike....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #10 Posted November 24, 2011 That looks tuff as heck, what is the fender off? it fits good with the tilt and the from opening fits good, almost looks like a hydro fender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grnlark 490 #11 Posted November 24, 2011 That looks tuff as heck, what is the fender off? it fits good with the tilt and the from opening fits good, almost looks like a hydro fender. The fender pan is what was on it. I'm assuming it was original the tractor. I still have it attached in the rear with the stock two bolts and temporarily have a piece of 1x3 bolted as a riser up front. Yes, very half a__ but I want to make sure everything is going to fit and work before I invest a decent amount of time and energy into it. It totally clears the tires as you see it now and rolls with no rubbing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene_S 93 #12 Posted November 24, 2011 Very cool looking tractor!!! I think it would look even cooler if you extended the front end out about a foot with a aluminum gas tank above the axle... I think your right Kelly that does look like a hydro fender pan... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #13 Posted November 24, 2011 I ment "front" opening, it is the lower cut, the fender sets level even with the rake the tractor has with out the big and littles on it, the fender would tilt to the back, what ever the fender is off it fits nice.

grnlark 490 #14 Posted November 24, 2011 Gotcha..... Pretty sure the pan was previously modded. Looks like a patch was put in in the front hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyleedy 205 #15 Posted November 24, 2011 thats a really cool ride ! i would like to have a hot rod like that in my stable :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #16 Posted November 24, 2011 P.S. You sure you won't sell the Struck I'll never say never, but I don see it happening anytime soon. How bout that baby-blue Panzer.... Cool little tractor, just the right look IMO, a little disproportional (the back tires), but it makes it look meaner. So does this mean you are giving up on that streached / highly modded panzer you had going? With the motorcycle engine? Or is this a temporary toy so-to-speak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or is this a temporary toy so-to-speak Just a low buck, throw-together. The Panzer is a big project that I don't really want to get into yet. I still have the Bantam all apart that I'm hoping to get back from paint soon. That's going to take some real time to finish and that's first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coadster32 793 #19 Posted November 24, 2011 That tractor looks pretty awesome Matt. I was wondering where those fatties would end up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
