MacAR Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That thing looks pretty mean with the rock box and duals on it. It ought to do just fine on the digger. Did you build your rock box? Mac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I like the way your tractor looks. It's gonna be really sharp with fresh paint! Could you please do me a favor? What's the distance between the top link pin and the lower lift pins on your field cultivator? Mine is assembled wrong and I need to fix it! Thx-Ace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do the sandblasting at our place if it helps with rain. Got a shower today. That was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing as somone making a hemi cuda out of a barracuda or a superbee out of a coronet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I like it. Where’d you find the axle cutoffs? Or is that common round stock? (I don’t know the size of thise) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don’t know the size of thise) I believe there has been some cautions on here about welding on axles. I think it involved people tack welding their wheel centers in place and then the axle cracked and snapped off right adjacent to the weld. Looks like your dual hubs are mostly on the original axle, but I'd be cautious with overloading those. Not saying your welds are bad, just axles seem prone to cracking after welding.

stronger800 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I’ve heard to never weld on one as well. I’m sure Rusty looked into it and doesn’t plan for working this tractor much either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Thought of that as soon as I seen the picture. Mudfly accurately describes a 1066 I knew of. Was just a light bead to inside of wheel. To keep it from moving in. Snapped off going down the road. This being welded clear through should be more uniform. Further out for less stress but may be more prone to bend. Time and it's use will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
