That tractor is the most awsesome tractor I have ever seen. Since a few years back seeing that tractor I have dreamed of making my own. The 126 sits in sis's barn waiting to get its makeover as a 706 narrow front. Thanks for showing that again never ever get tired of seeing it. Pops |

Such a great looking tractor! Is it just me, the angle of the photos, or is it much larger than the 149 Donor rig? Makes me wish I had a lot more $ and a lot more time on my hands...right now! :D Would love to have one of those in my barn! GREAT LOOKING RIG! :Drool |

Good eye Scott. The frame was stretched 12 inches. Main reason is so the PTO off the front of the motor can be used. The rear tiller drive runs the mower. Rear mower is off a Simplicity. It took Dad 15 to 18 months to build it. |

My Son's slightly modified 86  This what Steve started out with.  Notice any difference under the hood.  You can see the top of the motor in a stock 86. You can't see the top of the motor on Steve's 86. Motor is a modified K321. The clutch and driveshaft were both modified. |

Here's a few pictures of my the engine of my CH18-powered 582. I made the billet aluminum clutch driver adapter. It has a pulley groove cut in it, as I'll be adding a hydraulic pump and hydraulic lift sometime in the near future... Here's a link to a little video I took just for the sound... http://mgonitzke.freetzi.com/582_running.asf ...No, it doesn't have a muffler...Yes, it's loud... :)

Matt. Love that adapter! I wish I had one for myy 1200. I plan on putting hydraulics on it, But I need some kind of a way to drive them pump. That adapter would be perfect. probably wouldn't fit right, and man would it be $$$! |

The aluminum was only about $30, but I had to stand in front of a lathe for 9 hours to make it though... That's pretty much why I made it though. What I needed didn't exist, so I just made it myself. |
