I got tubes put in the back tires thats about it. this build is basically done just going to add some personal touches then go and pull with it

This tractor came out great! I'd love to see a video that shows what it can do. No pulling another tractor in neutral haha! How about dragging a skid with some cinderblocks on it or something? Show us some wheelspin on that bad boy! That thing looks great.    

alright hmm what in my yard can i pull thats heavy   what if i put all the tractors i own in a line lock the brakes and drag them all or rip out a tree that i have in my side yard

That would be cool! I'm not trying to call you out or anything, but I do like to see machinery do what it's built to do. I like to see machines work hard and earn their keep. Maybe that's why my tractor is sitting with a hatched transaxle, but....    

hooked all the tractors i own together to see if the cub could pull it. and the wheel horse is a hydro so it doesn't roll so its 900 pounds of dead weight in the back. do you think it can do it?

Rope broke. I knew that was going to happen.

But you dragged two of them. That's pretty good.

That was cool! Try pulling about 3 of them in gear and keep adding on until the Cub Cadet is wheeliying good. It's going to take a lot to stop that thing I bet.   

ok ill do that but first i need to get some better straps. and i was pulling 5 idling i wonder what will happen wideopen

i was actually pulling all 5 and once they were moving the strap broke time to use chains   

Next time you need to set the camera out to the side, instead.

I agree. Also, id put to in gear, drag it, and keep putting them in gear and see how many it can drag.

I do plan on doing it again and when i do i will put the camera of to the side its just that there were so many tractors i would have had to put the camera 100 ft back to get all of them in the shot

yep im going to do that and i'm going to do tug of war with some of my other tractors too

Cool, pulls some weight anyway.

Some Final Pictures of the build

This Build Is Complete

I don't think any of you guys have seen what this tractor looked like when i bought it before i redid it so here you go.








It looked like a peice of junk now it looks amazing

You should check out maple hunters for some decals to complete the build it looks pretty epic cept your missing some suitcases up front :p

Yeah, that thing certainly will have the power to lift the wheels if he hitches up to enough of a load.

That website is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Found them just recently they have a lot of rare decals

Thanks for the website but if i bought them i couldn't put them on 100% straight. they would be crooked i'm not good at stickers but i think i might get something air brushed where the stickers would be but i'm not sure yet. And missing suitcases upfront? what do you mean? And yep im sure she will pop some wheelies under load.

Oh ok ive been looking for weights but i dont know how much my tractor weighs so i need to find that out so i now how much more weight i need. And i want to use wheel weights because the front i think is heavy enough but time will tell.

Didn't even notice that the exhaust is sticking through the grill now. Looks good.

Yeah when i bought it i thought someone just but a hole in the front of it but after looking at it more i noticed that the exhaust lines up with the hole so i knew it when thru the hole. And i like the way it looks.
