Tim , Nicely done .
I like the way you broke up the Farmall red and white paint . Tastefully done .

What are the rear fenders off of , they look familiar ?
I see a lot of cub cadets while going down the tracks , its a shame I can't pull over and ask about them .

Thanks, Guys for all the cool comments.

Jlaws,The rear fenders are from an old Bolens 800. I added a filler panel on the bottom so that I could bolt them to the axles.

PGHsteelworker, The rear rims are modiied. They are I think from an early Dodge Caravan 14x6. The bolt pattern was cut out and reversed then welded back in. This gives me a lot of positive offset.

So,dag1450,,,how many "changes" did you find?

Dave, Yes I did move the axle forward. Yes, this project was somewhat "involved". ;)

Man, I gotta click on "View unread posts" more often. I missed this one! Great job, the paint and the mods really work together and makes them look like their full sized brothers.
