Here's where you can post your Cub Cadet based specials. Actually, if it's cool and not Cub based, post it anyway!

Little 1566 "Pro Stock" Tractor miniature...

Post by Ksmith »

Hello all, I'm finally posting some picts of the latest and greatest "little tractor" to come out of my shop. It started out as a Cub Cadet 782D which is a "standard" sized garden tractor with a 3 cylinder Kubota diesel from the factory. I'm sure the Cub Cadet purist may be upset with me that I cut such a rare machine up, but I only do what I'm paid to do...

First I installed a turbo charger off an European Smart Car...

Next I made all new sheet metal and fenders...

A little paint...

And put everything back together...

This machine was created totally as a show piece and still has the stock hydro tranny in it. It will never pull a sled. The owner is going to build a "Father" Pro Stock tractor this winter though, so you may see my tractor pulling the daddy through the pits.

Yes it was, we had it on display before the owner took it home.
