Ford Wheeler "Ford 100"

This is what was going out

Wow I've never seen anything with the drive belt on the driver's side. interesting

i love this thing so much already. was thinking of getting these for it

for a little bit more money you can get ITP mud lites

Yeah get mud lites , and on the 2300's the inputs on each side rotate opposing directions and can be swapped to either side for which side the right angle gearbox or in this case engine drives it

i like my vtreads for look and experience with dinky. if there the cheapest option, you better believe im sticking with them.

although if these wold fit with my fenders im they might be fro consideration. i like the tread looks twice as deep but that price is a nasty sting.

i need to see if my current tiers tell me the size, because these from the picture look to narrow.

Those are big money.  Not in too many people's budgets.

i really want the v-treads, there cheeper, and wider, and sadly my rims are 8" wide, and thos v tread need 12" wide... i need to go junk yard hunting.

i was pretty set in stone about my v-treads but these tiers my boss recomended will fit my current rims and i cant complane about that price.

ile worry about the v-treads when im actually building this thing up.

Shipping isn't crazy either!

well, no turning back now.


all in all im really happy about the price.

You know you can buy yourself a new Dewalt 1/2 drill for the price of one of those execs, but I don't blame you for going big or going home.

im useing thoes as hole me over tiers till i can get what i want. i need to find some wide rims at the junk yard first. btw i was at the junk yard lesterday and there was wuite the wide selection of lawn and garden tractors. i found one i might have to go back for. it was in decent shape, had a transmission just like the ford (i pulled the headlights and shifter off) it had a 17hp briggs oppy. one with a metal fly wheel blower, and the motor even turned over, just felt like it had weak compression. all in all it was in decent shape and even had the 12" 5 bolt rims like the ford.
in 2 more weeks i get payed agin, if its still there when i get payed and it dose not cost me to much i might grab it. there is a LOT of options there but most have sized motors. another motor that was not sieezd i was looking at was a 2 cylinder horizontal shaft on a cub cadet. i just was worried it wold cost to much so i did not ask.

it was my first time getting stuff from a junk yard, so i was expecting half ebay prices or somthing, what i got only ran me 10$

so this thing needs a real name and thats still up in the air, but im considering "Ford Wheeler" and wold be pronounced "ford whiller" because thats how i talk.
it might change but i love me a bad pun and that seems like one waiting to happen.

The Ford Wheeler...I like it!

I Love It!

Good trade!

That's looks like a neat old tractor to put around on.  I hope it makes the trip to wal-mart and back.

its getting closer to Walmart every day, on the dinky page i posted about this, last weekend dinky's drive belt gave out by auto zone. i pushed it to the movie theator and hid it in a push, then the old ford had to tow it back, and stall out about 40 times.

i just did my rebuild kit on the stock carb and put new o-rings in it, now it leaks worse than it did before... tomrrow i might take it all apart and put locktite on all the threated bits to seal them. the innerds that were in it before were quite mangled, i think the treads for the main jet are to scored... carb runs great other than horrible leaking.

oh, and it did not have to go to walmart just yet, had a can of carb cleaner next to my pc, and now i look it it i see my missing can of v-belt conditioner.

When I've had carbs leaking really bad, a pinhole leak in the float was the culprit.

my computer is being stupid with my camra and im to tierd to fight with it tonight, so just have some pics of the new tiers for now.

Hey those look pretty sharp on the ol' girl! She should dig pretty good now, haha.

still want my wide v-treads, but other than some carb work to stop leaks, im going to quit working on this thing, then enter it in next years build off.

any further work on it untill next build off will be to keep it running when something breaks.
