Think i have seen another nice option..

 

 

 

Hum, kevin, how about this?

 

with the last Front you‘ve mentioned maybe a real cool GT..

ok, not a horse Engine but plenty of Fun i bet.. 😎

 

I don’t think he used Wheel Horse brakes either... but I think I love it!

[Tractorhead 8,604]

Don‘t know what brake he is used,

but i love the Sound from that V8 Engine..

So...

Will it pull a standard plow?

Is fuel consumption similar to an 8 hp Kohler?

Will it have enough power to pull a standard tub cart with fire wood in it?

Ok Jim, i try to answer this questions as honestly as i can ... 😎😂😂😂😉

 

first question, i‘m sure it will do, maybe not the finest plow rows, but definitively the funniest plow waves.... 😇 😂

 

 

question 2 - on such a „small engine“  machine,  fuel consumption is out of compare,

because it’s a proof of concept for a new economy class 😎 that could be closer compared to a hot rod. 😂😂😂

 

last not least your final question - aehm, i guess it is able to pull a huge trailer,

- except the brake situation, but i bet it will be able to bring you the firewood for a complete Wintersaison.🤪😂😂

 

ok, i think i must a little rethinkering about the brake thing in my scenario,

but the Sound on the parade will be definitely a burner, and be that Cool even in idle.

That looks fun.

@pullstart Not to get too off topic... But what tires are on the 140 on page 1? They look sweet, would love to find a set for my 140...

Yeah... I never get off topic 

 

I’m not sure what they are, I blew up one picture and can make out “Traction” but that’s about it...  maybe Master after that?

Looks like OTL traction master, but that doesn't come up with anything as far as I can tell.

[Pullstart 59,640]

Try OTR Traction Masters.  It seems there are different model tires after that...

Huh. When I searched with a tire size, nothing but turf tires came up, but without a tire size listed they showed up. Thanks!

It looks wider in the front, even from the back.  It’s just that tubbed rearend look that is deceiving...  The rear is currently about 2-3” wider and will be widened another 3” or so.

 

 

 

What a step back in time!  Since February, this has been too narrow.  Some spacers have been cut.  1” per side can be stacked up for now.  The large holes clear the heads of the adapter bolts, the small holes will slide over the 5/8” studs

Those weren't cut out by hand. Very nice work. What were they done on? Plasma?

[Pullstart 59,640]

@Stormin angry beaver got ahold of it!  Yeah, laser cut 

[Stormin 9,975]

Looks like another Colossus project here. Lacking in up dates.

 I know.  The Lazy Builder Fairy has gone on vacation I guess.  
 

I have so many to-do’s on my list... and a couple extra GT14 frames.  I’ve considered starting much of the project over completely with a heavier pair of frames and that big bad front axle!

Quit feeding the deer and get back to the priorities... you can shoot them later...

Glad I don’t have anything on the radar. Troops are restless. 😬

EB.  I think if you’d get a move on, then Norm would have something to drool about.  That would get me off the hook.  C’mon, Pal!

That's a valid point.

 

I'll see what I can do. I got a couple of tools in the mail today and I'm hoping to spend some time working on the project this next couple....

Tell ya both to quit spankin the monkey and giterdone...17 pages long and we barely got a roller! 

[Pullstart 59,640]

It rolls!  

[Achto 26,538]

Looks like this project and @ebinmaine's Colosuss are in the same race to the finish.

[Pullstart 59,640]

Yyyy’ouch!  It’s currently holding the racking down…Luckily we haven’t had a job around the house held up because of this project’s hiatus!
