Thanks much guys for the great comment.. I can NOT take credit for the building of the frame and axles that was Mazdaparts built that I bought it off him and rebuilt the frame in alum and did the detail and paint work..

Rvjimd no there is no video my sucky internet is so slow I can get them to up load before it times out..

Nice work on that tractor Paul. I have to admit when I built it I was in an allis mood for the fenders and cockpit and Oliver/IH for the hood and grill. I think you have done an amazing job finishing it.

And to answer an earlier question about the tires. The rears are from an associated BFT that I narrowed the tires by taking an 1" out of the center and glued back together, the wheels (from the same truck) were narrowed as much as possible. The fronts, IIRC are narrowed rustler tires and rpm wheels I got to match the rears look, also narrowed.

Thanks much for the info I might have to get on the phone with you and pick your brain a little I have a itch to build a 4WD with the same wheels and tires and axle set up either a Oliver or a old IH not sure..

I'll have to pull it off the shelf and take some new pics of it painted. I think it was painted anyways. Been awhile since I have charged the batteries.
