I started out with the idea of just building a 1030 with scratch built, after market cab that I started fabricating years ago,to hook to the Landoll Soil Master that I built. Well that did not satisfy me so I decided to raise the bar and make my toy 1030 a 4wd.
It took several attempts to build a MFD front axle that suited me I ended up building a second pair of front axle trunions to get the look that I wanted. I had to raise the nose of the tractor up. I made a new set of front axle truninon with the axle bolt being at the bottom of the trunion . The trunions are made from 1/2" square stock cut off the piece that I made the backbone that I used to make the 8358 plow.
I have the 1030 chassis the way I want it, and proceeded to the completion of the cab. I cut two wide wheat land fenders from a piece of 1"x.032" brass stock. Take note that I clipped the front and rear of the fenders even with the bottom of the hood line. I am a stickler for consistent sight lines and eye appeal.
Tomorrow on to cutting the front and rear panels of the cab, and a new extended roof.

The last picture shows the size of the ball joints that I am using to make the steering linkage, plus some clevises that I use to make 3pt hitches.
