It's been a year since I started this project. It was a 4000 AP gas school tractor. I converted the engine to diesel, put a 4400 front axle under it and am steering it like a 3550 but with 4600 integral PS. 545 hard nose. No fenders yet.
Had some very poor 14.9-30s for the back.
I finally got around to starting it about a week ago, put the tires on this week and have it so it will drive onto my trailer on its own.
It goes into storage up at my property on Sat.
Concrete man is coming to pour a 30'X33' slab for a new garage here in a few weeks so it has to go. 1K sq ' is all the City will let me build but I've been without a garage for 3 years so will be glad.
The tractor still needs a bunch of tinkering. Used an oil bath air filter and have to build a tube to manifold.
Have good hyd pressure to remote valves but no lift.
Have a ps pump but no lines yet. Pto starts and stops good. All the gears are quiet.
The school kids were in this one but they didn't tear it completely apart. Engine mostly. Brakes boogered up. Lift cover off.
I will finish it when I get the garage done, work it and see what goes wrong. Have some 24" rims and looking for some tires for them. Has new style tach drive and oil fill in the timing cover. Need a drawbar hanger.
Don't have but a couple grand in it so far.
It's kind of my answer to an SU but I think looks cooler. Thinking I'll use it for bush hogging.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
