prondzy 3,865 #1 Posted September 9, 2018 I picked this little gem up from @Terry M a little over 3 years ago knowing it would be for my kids when they were ready. After reading @dclarke's post about his grandkids ranger i thought this project needed to hit the table again and finish it up. I used full floorboards from an Electro 12 and to make it fit i used a fender pan from an 856 donor to cover the wheels so no little limbs could be run over or caught. I also raised the fender pan 1 inch to make it all fit and cut out the pan a little for shifter clearance When i got this tractor it didnt have an engine, so i put in a kohler k141 industrial motor, i didnt want a blue engine so i wire wheeled all the paint off and cleared the tins, fabricated a new gas tank support. Im pretty happy how it turned out and it drives great. Here is my son age 3 pulling me in my double tub wagon, it was a fun afternoon. 3 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkS 122 #7 Posted September 10, 2018 Looks great! Is that an original seat pan, or did you make that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prondzy 3,865 #8 Posted September 10, 2018 Original seat pan. I need to get one of Bobs covers for it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prondzy 3,865 #9 Posted September 10, 2018 @Terry M it is loosely based on the techy tank support i made it mount to the starter holes and one head bolt stud. No special science here just took a couple hours trying to fabricate something clean and functional. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
