doodle bug

i did'nt build it, but i wanted to show everyone my new toy. i swapped some old 2wheel gravley tractors for it. it was used on some big estate in philly area from what i'm told, for about 20 years. it was retired for a compact chinese tractor. it started out a 59 willys overland wagon. it has a flathead 6 , 3sp tranny, 4wd, loader attachment, dump bed and a grader blade in back.

it has a few issues that need attention but it runs good and is definitly something i can use around the house

Thats pretty trick man I love Doodle Bugs. I would put a 4 point roll cage over the drivers seat though. Have fun. Nice to have a 45 MPH tractor. Low buck Fendit LOL

Better invest in some goggles also. That looks like a fun ride.

Looks like something from a Johnny Cash song... I'll get it one piece at a time!

I think I have that same seat on the backhoe I am building.

Cool machine!

looks great, you have to love those duddle bugs, I know that big red tank must be for hydrolics , but it looks like a portable still. Ok we can wish.

Looks like it comes with it's own still...

thats an old hot water tank converted as the hydraulic oil tank. another thing i thought was priceless was the steering setup. i'll take some pics so you can see. i dont want to spoil your laugh. the rear grader blade is a meyers plow set up. that seems to work pretty well i must say.

do you get dirty when you dump the loader into the dump bed???? wouldn't it be ggreat if they made a tractor that could do it...
