This is the reason the body is so far off the frame.


Eventually Yes, I will cut the frame. I had to extend it for the spring hangers, body mounts, bumper etc. it's alot easier to cut off excess rather than try to add more.

As for tires, they'll be 23.1-26 for those of you not familiar with tractor tires, about 64x23x26

Are not covering the motor when you're not working on it? I'd hate to see your work get trashed by a lil water and some rust. I like the birdcatcher, by the way! :icon_hornsup::icon_hornsup::icon_hornsup:

Damn that's huge. Can't wait to see the finalization. This is a visual for everyone:





Hm. Good luck with the next phase of this build.

Unfortunatly, I don't have a garage big enough for this beast. I really wish I did! As far as the rust goes, When I broke in the cam I didn't realize the linkage for the two carbs was not adjusted properly. This made my front four cylinders run lean causing the front four pipes to get too hot and burn the high temp paint off of my headers. Now I gotta sand em down and paint again. I'm very proud of my headers, my first set I ever made, What do you all think?

Those skidder tires probably weigh a ton! I would guess them to be 14ply and weigh about 600ibs a piece WITHOUT rim. Mine are 6ply ag tires, about 300 each without rim. I like the chains, might have to get me some of those!
