Thank you all so much for the positive feedback!! I will continue to post up build pictures. I have no idea how many hours this took us, but we did start January 2015 and finished October 2015. All while working a day job, doing the husband and dad thing, and moving into a new house. Many many late nights, long weekends, and vacations to complete this project for given deadline of October 10th 2015. Definitely couldn't have done it without the help from Dad and my two brothers.

Sure would love to see it at Hutchinson. That looks good enough that a toy of it should be made. |
That would be so cool to have a toy version!

If you had it at Vegas, did you stop by the Bonneville Salt Flats and run it through the speed trials. It looks as if it might do a 195 mph. |
That would've been a great picture sitting at the salt flats! Defiantly looks fast, but unfortunately it's still as slow as the day it rolled off the assembly line.

I like the turned down pipes. They make me think of the P40 and the P51 Mustangs. I see something new every time I revisit your post. Very Cool. |
I did look up pictures of those old Mustangs and 60's front engine dragsters to get some inspiration.

Eric,
Beautiful job man! Being a hotrodder myself, this has to be the best lowered B yet with such a nice tasteful use of hotrod ingenuity I've seen so far! Love the Headlight stands, and the custom exhaust. But the hairpins man blow me away! Love the use of the hairpin radious rods. True vintage hotrod look right dare! Thanks for sharin' the pics with the Orange family. Speaking of the Orange family, welcome to the Orange family! Best damn AC site on the planet! You got a winner there for sure. Congrats on a super job and a super B!

Thank you Steve, I really liked the look of other lowered B's, but I wanted mine to stand out from the rest. So we made a ton of suttle changes to make it our own. Old P40 Mustangs, 60's front engine dragsters, and 30's Ford Hot rods were my inspiration.

Those special touches you added really set it apart from the other low riders. It would certainly turn heads anywhere it shows up. Great job!

Not internally. A 2 speed box in front of the transmission would be a nice touch !

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I am trying to figure this out now. I drive my tractor all around town and it NEEDS to be faster. Not sure I want to do a motor swap but that's an easy way to get more RPM's. Any ideas guys?

Taller tires. Stronger governor spring. Taller tires on an axle without the bull gears. Would have to make sure the differential ring and pinion were turned right for forward travel. Lower ratio in the differential ring and pinion. Lower ratio in the bull gear drive.
Big down hill coasting out of gear.
Going faster the front steering will have to be tighter, good spindle bearings, and tight tie rod ends as well as solid drag links to stabilize the front axle.

Any reason the bull gear reduction system couldn't be replaced with an internal 1:1 or 2:1 chain drive and the differential flipped to get things moving the right way again so it keeps its stock looking axle layout?
I'm guessing with 20ish engine HP this thing isn't going to be seeing any major long distance high speed driving that would be a long term wear issue for a hidden chain drive. Especially ones running in a lube bath.
Just asking.

I have a question about the braces from the bell housing to the front axle. On other tractors, the front end bracing pivot point is in line with the front end pivot point. Yours is not. Is yours spring loaded somehow and I am not seeing it. It appears to me yours would bind up when the front axle have to flex up on one side and down on the other.

Heim joints are on the ends of the hair pin radius rods to allow the front axle to pivot.

That is one of the best show tractors I have ever seen. I love it. Where can I get a set of headers like that?

Thanks! I actually built those headers myself. If you look at page 2 I have some pictures building them.
