This started out as a Homesteader from Rich. I decided to make it a 728 though with the parts sheet metal i had. I need to get an engine wish i might have to raise with the steering linkage. but i cant raise it too high. I know where a 14 hp kawasaki and a 14 hp briggs is that i might put in it but i dont think they will fit under the hood. for some reason the steering linkage pic wont upload

Do you have any pics of how you mounted the narrow front wheel setup? |

Not right now. There's a hole not quiet centered on the frame thats honed out and have a pipe that goes thru it. Welded the pipe in. Cut one spindles and welded the axle on the other spindle. Then cut the spindle shaft and welded it to the other shaft to make it longer. |

Weird, that's what would have happened if it had stayed here! I thought that would be cool with the tiller on it. But the tiller went north, the tractor went south! |

I will probably have the wrath of the orange on me but I have a green one that I am slowly making into a narrow front. |

Well Ron, if you can make art out of discarded hoe blades then I guess you could make something worthwhile out of a green tractor. Ha ha ha. |

I see that thing is still wearing the rear tires and wheels I looked for for a month after you hauled that load home. I had them earmarked for my wagon project, and oh did it drive me nuts that I couldn't find them. Then it dawned on me finally. Sometimes I have to seriously wonder about myself.
And no, I will not take them back as trade for that hydro sovy! |
