WOW! The Big Bud factory is (or used to be) a couple hours south of us, so I used to see a lot of these tractors. They were always favorites. I can't wait to see this roll.

[Grainfarmer]

Really nice project! I haven´t seen a rc-conversion in Europe yet...

[fhhhstix]

Well here are the finished pics and a video.

[mazdaparts]

Very clean conversion. Any more pics of the powertrain and steering servo setup?

[Snochaser]

Nice job Travis. Your collection continues to grow with leaps and bounds. What's next up on the bench?

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Killer Job as always Travy.. I cant wait to get mine back it will be great to have all these tractors at a show..

[fhhhstix]

Yes that would be cool to them all at a show. I may have another tractor running tonight.:D

Maybe if I have to take it apart for some maintenance I will get a pic of the steering but right now there is not much to see as it is hidden in the tractor. As for the drive train it is just an RC4WD R2 2speed and Tamiya tractor truck axles.

Great conversion!
Seems to be a little bit fast... ;)

On the contrary....On those big fields you got over there it seems to be ok.

I ran out of room for a gear reduction but I can still put in a smaller pinion. It doesn't seem to lack power though. The scary part it was in first gear in the video.:D
