1468 trike and 1206 wide front...

The 1468 should be at Red Power this summer in Lima Ohio. I'm going to try to get the 1206 done too, but I'm not too sure it will happen. :)

This is the starting point for the 1468, it's a mid '80's, Cub Cadet 1811. It is a very strong running machine. This will have a tricycle front end.

This will be 1206 wide front tractor with a manual transmission and a creeper drive...

 
Well, I busted my tail, and finished the tractors in time for Red Power Round Up...

 


First load headed to Lima...
 

Second load headed to Lima...

  She's all done and delivered. This one went to Iowa. The customer was very excited. He told me that he thought his daughter and granddaughter would keep it. That makes me feel good that I'm building family heirlooms.
