Looks like you have a nice start on it, that web in the tubing will work good...Fun stuf
 
A buddy of mine said I could put it on a G and it would hold . I split the narrow front in half and I'll try to have John Deere hubs and wheels . Just need to finish the knees and spindles . Then time for the tie rods , a friend gave me a complete set from a massy combine . To figure that out will take some time .
 
Not trying to stick my nose in your business but with being a steel fabricator I'm thinking the tubing should be a little heavier. of course it matters if the tractor is going to be "worked" or if it's just for show. Just my two fabrication cents.

A valid point Arnie,, I always "over build" when I do some thing,,that gusset in the middle will help, but the twist action of the front wheel "could" play into the picture..He is doing a nice job on it though...that rear brace looks good,, and will do a lot to hold off the twist factor...
 
It's a plow day tractor so it will be tested . My son won't be filling dead forrows . So hopefully it's stands up to the challenge . It's good to here other ideas and weaknesses. Thanks
 
The axle is A1100R. The pedestal is unstyled A narrow front cut off even with bottom of the frame. The nose was fabricated and welded to the A pedestal by a professional shop owner. If you notice the frame is wider at the rear thus model G. The tractor is an out of the weeds GM had no sheet metal, engine or rims. I will be installing unstyled G hood and radiator. Being a GM chassis I will have a 6 speed electric start US G for parades, short tractor drives, and antique plowing.
 
He did a nice job on the pedestal I have an Unstyled aw that is just about ready for the paint booth. I also have 2 Unstyled bw that are all restored they sure are nice looking with the wide front! !!
