ok, i have been working on my tractor recently and i would like to mix 3 variables together: fast, atv-like, and for show. first thing that came to mind, a general lee themed tractor. so, i am going to paint it orange and put the same decals on it as the car did. also, make it go about 25 pinned in 6th gear. for tires, im thinkin 20-23" back knobbys, and turf-saver fronts. I want to build a sports style muffler to make the 19hp opposed twin sound sorta like the 440 in the car (any suggestions?). the bumper is going to be the exact same too, and i want to put a real charger steering wheel on it. For finishing touches, a dixie horn! so, i need to ask you guys your opinion on it and i need all the help possible, and if i do this (i have to wait for money to do it), pictures and vids will come!

i would like to jump it but i am on a strict budget, so i want to get basic stuff done before it gets suspension and stuff like that, so im just going to play it by year. i hope to have a video and some pictures tommarow.

Awesome, do it! I have no idea how to get a hemi sound out of a twin, maybe just go wit a simple straightpipe or side pipe. My tractor has no exhaust what so ever (sorry rules) and it sounds like a race car.

i was planning a pipe with a small pancake muffler that ran to under the running boards to try not to get the cops called on me, trust me, ive got the cops called on me before even though its stock, the worst part is i live in a very small town where people dont care about things!!!!!!!!!
