My Mini B was finished last spring. It was built from a Case 226 garden tractor rear end and drive line with a 1949 Ford flathead V8 and Allis-Chalmers B sheet metal and other body parts. Power steering unit is from a Yanmar compact tractor. I hope you enjoy the pictures and video.
The following link has some of the construction pictures. The following is an engine run video. Edited by mnoonan-NEWI - 17 Dec 2013 at 11:11pm |

That is one neat tractor. I think those flat-heads are awesome. A heck of an engineering job for sure!

Mike,
That Mini B is slicker than goose poop man! I remember when you posted pics last year. Think you could smoke the hides without shellin' the rear? Them flatties are stout little buggers. That is definately a pisser!

Thanks fella's for all the great comments. For me it was the most enjoyable & rewarding project I have ever done. There were many people that were a tremendous help along the way. Over the winter I would like to make a few updates. Maybe a rear view mirror, AC umbrella, larger radiator to control an overheating problem.
I have added a link with some construction pictures. Please enjoy.
Thanks again for looking.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
