whlpny 203 #1 Posted March 28, 2009 Since it was nice out yesterday I did some garage cleaning. The 418AA was buried in its winter dust so it came out for a bath. Decided to snap some shots of both 4x4's together. I just see a request from PJ for pics of the d-200- I only have 2 digital images of that tractor so I'll include them also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure it took some time and thought on how to do it, but looks like you have got it down pat. You would not want to meet me becouse I would pik your brain forever P.J.

CasualObserver 3,411 #10 Posted March 28, 2009 I'm guessing Duke has a 4x4 round hood in mind...and 854-4 or something like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suburban 550 28 #13 Posted March 29, 2009 Great looking tractors, Bob. Excellent Workmanship. I guess after doing one the rest become easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whlpny 203 #14 Posted March 29, 2009 Thanks Bill- the one in the background is my worker that I got from Nick857 last summer. Its a 520 LXi with an Ark loader on it. I don't have much property, but it comes in especially handy movin junk around here.The power steering is awesome. I also have a set of pallet forks for it. Hers a shot of it loading the next project into the workshop yesterday( sorry guys- yes its gonna be green). I was too lazy to swap to the forks and made do with the bucket....

Nick 13 #21 Posted March 29, 2009 Bob, The 4x4 tractors look great. But where do ya find those Case parts to build them. I had thought about asking you if the XI worked out and if the loader fit ok. Looks like its doing a good job with the Ark. I was just the delivery boy for the tractor. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whlpny 203 #22 Posted March 29, 2009 Nick- lately I have been hunting ahead for the Case parts. Always keeping my eyes open for a cheap parts tractor. Yes the Xi has been great so far! I just fabbed up a new subframe and did a quick pump mount- was an easy swap. The tires are off the old 264x4 and I swapped all my 520 h weights onto him and it was good to go.It never failed to start all winter. That thing has a helacious set of headlights on it - great for movin snow at night! That kaw sure does run smooth and quiet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ohio_Tractor_Nut 0 #23 Posted March 29, 2009 whlpny ... I have one thing to say ... BEAUTIFUL - Thank you for sharing all of the pictures. One of these days I hope to be 1/4 that talented! :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #24 Posted March 29, 2009 Bob, Glad to hear the xi is doing good for you. I was also wondering what case models to keep an eye out for that use that hydro drive system? Could use a Steiner but finding one of those cheap enough to part out is not going to happen often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
