Saw this oddity while looking at auctions. Guy connected a JD and Farmall tractors.

I would be concerned about welds at final drive as I thought the metal was iron, not cast steel and steering being consistent/tracking together.

A classic case of someone that has too much time on their hands!!! My question to things like this is; If you have the ability to build something like this, and it actually works, why not do something constructive?! John Kinzenbaw never built a pos like that.

They had an argument wiht the hired hands, one wouldn't drive a farmall, the other wouldn't drive a deere. Now when it's work time they pick which one they want to drive.

Are there 2 sets of cracks near the Farmall final drive flange or are they casting lines?

he thought if he put them together he might get as much work done as 1 WD45

It would need a whole lot of duct tape to qualify....

One thing for sure with two WD-45's is, if you put them both in the same GEAR, they would go the same speed if engines were synch'd RPM wise. That Red/Green combo is engineeringly dumb.

If I remember right there was an article on this tractor in one of the farm magazines thirty-some years ago. I think the speed issue was one of the big things to overcome.
And since no one else has made the comment - what else would you do with a JD and a Farmall?
