New "Little Tractor" IH 1206 Wheatland Diesel...

Post by Ksmith »

This one didn't start out as a Cub Cadet, but I thought everyone here may like it... It was a mid '80's White Fieldboss 16. It's a 16 horse, 3 cylinder diesel, and it is a hoot to drive!

There are more picts on the website.

Thanks everyone, this is a White Fieldboss 16. This photo is actually a 4x4, and will soon be in the barn. It'll become a 1206 row crop with duals...

The same guy will have both machines. He wants to get a tow behind mower, and asked if I could make a 2 or 3 bottom tow behind plow... of course I can.

The 2 wheel drive had the same size tires on it.

I sure hope the demand gets that great. I'll bet a Super M would make a nice part of you collection to set in a show room with a price tag on it .

You have you own folder in my computer,and every time I can, I show others the work you do they are amazed, I hope someday someone in this area may get in contact with you. Yes you can thank God for giving you the know how and, the means to pursue this endeavor.

Jim, thanks.

I hope to not hire any one, I'm starting to send some things out. The fiberglass battery covers... some of the machining and "pretty" welding (I didn't make the swinging drawbar, new exhaust manifold, nor the fenders on this machine)... but I enjoy the rest of the work, and I know what kind of product I can deliver. If it's done right, I did it, if it's done wrong... I know who's fault it is. I am streamlining though.

I ebay the Cub Cadet parts, or I'll take them to a swap meet, and sell a "lot" of parts cheap to someone who will retail them. The White parts are going to go home with the owner, and he'll do with them what he wants. I'm not into selling parts... I like building tractors. :)
