Our latest, you have too much time on your hands ' as my Dad would have said, project. We will be updating / improving it as time permits. 28.1 x 26 R20 rear tires, flipped finals, lower front. CA is for reference. Stock 45 engine . Runs about 18 MPH... for parades and shows... every had seen 88 olivers and B deeres but this.... is a tad unique... :-)

T-Bran,Thats kind of a cool concept for the WE after all the B' that have been made into 'low riders'. Those tires don't look exactly round on my puter... think I will try to get them wheels round for you...mmm, thats strange, when I go to make them round, they look round in the preview.
Well, they are smaller now. Do you have enough clearance to put the snap coupler back on?

Actually, no... we are going to install a school bus seat on the rear for parades... and when we flipped the finals - we also realized the probably oem leather seals were not up to the job - EP-0 seems to be holding - with a rag stuffed in the hole for temp display.. :-) Will be installing some type of power steering - those wide tires are not conducive to EZ steering a low speeds or stopped. I took it for its maiden voyage down the bypass - nearly caused a wreck due to rubber necking... one trucker pulled up at a stop and rolled the window down and yelled "what the he(( is THAT ?"

Yeah, I'm certain it probably doesn't like to steer well... did you alter the caster and camber to compensate for the tire's scrub radius? How do you have it geared- stock, or have you altered it for more 'road' speed worthy?

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

well the camster and casber varies with each pot hole - the scrub radius does occur if the front end is lifted off the ground... he he.... the gears are stock - we think,,, havn't looked to see if they are straight cut or helical....hope never have the need to... but seriously it does drive straight with out wandering all over the place.. fun ride.
