Pullstart 59,710 #1 Posted November 4, 2019 My mock 1045 “Wheatland” model mock... from Sears Suburban toolbox and fenders, 753 Chassis and some square hood tins! for now, it’ll get racked for a back back burner project I think. But it’s a possibility! 6 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,394 #5 Posted November 5, 2019 While the idea is fresh in your mind, I'd go ahead and build it! Would definitely be a cool machine when you got done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not sure if this free Suburban came home before or after the unveiling of Radpferd, but I’ve had my eye on these things all summer in my driveway! The tool box needs narrowing, or a custom box all together, but I like the fenders. They might get trimmed a little though... the seat spring, I guess it was built for a downward angled base, because it isn’t a full 180 degree bend. I guess I’ll have to squish/spring it in a press a bit to my custom liking! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,710 #9 Posted November 5, 2019 @Achto was there a Wheatland row crop? I found my old 15” buggy fronts... oh how slick they would be on a high clearance front axle! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,710 #10 Posted November 5, 2019 Oh boy... what am I doing? Ain’t that thing purty! It’s like the mix between a gasser hot rod and a working tractor. It’s amazing. plus I have the whole VW front end to pick apart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 26,550 #12 Posted November 5, 2019 8 hours ago, pullstart said: @Achto was there a Wheatland row crop? There was never a Wheatland row crop or high crop. Wheatland's were short stout tractors that were built for tillage only. They usually didn't have adjustable front ends or even a PTO. Row crops were built to be more of an all purpose tractor. High crops were built to for cultivating, spraying and weed burning. Weed burning was not real common but yes farmers would basically hang torches from the tractor and drive down the rows burning the weeds off in between the crop plants. This was back when LP was super cheap. 8 hours ago, pullstart said: Oh boy... what am I doing? Ain’t that thing purty! It’s like the mix between a gasser hot rod and a working tractor.

I can’t tell if the frame was moved up on the transmission, or if something else in the rear is going on? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,675 #15 Posted November 5, 2019 I didn't take any detailed pictures but to the best of my recollection there was a truss of sorts built to the transaxle with what appeared to be chain drives going down to both rear wheels. It was very well done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,710 #16 Posted November 6, 2019 Well it might not matter so much, Pile O Parts won’t be getting the high roller treatment. Rylee thinks Filly needs it. She saw that 450 High Crop pic and it was all over with. she’s got a good eye. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
