That sure looks nice. I take it phase 1 is completed paint and we'll be seeing decals and nameplates etc. next...

 

[Soundguy]

Phase 1 will be the decals as well.. nose medalion is already installed. phase 2 is a ford 711 1-arm loader that i will be mounting to the tractor.

Looks great but I gotta say, a one armed loader on a one wheeled front end is starting to look an awfully lot like only half a tractor

Ford didn't think so apparently. There were OEM brackets made for the row crop tractors. I've seen plenty of 9XX narrow front fords with 1-arm loaders.

I bought a set of the special brackets a few years back when i saw them on ebay.

I hope you know I was just yankin' your chain Chris, can't wait to see the finished product. I've always been one for the unusual things, so this is right up my alley. Reminds me of the BMW motorcycles with only one half of a suspension.

I wouldn't use the loader at full potential just because there is one less tire to distribute the weight.. thought I believe the tractor itself would handle it.. even if the front end was burried!

It's for sure you'll want to keep a good tire on that front end! The tractor's really looking nice.

I cleaned up and painted the canopy brackets this am, and then installed a new canvas buggy cover on it.
