heck.. many of my 9xx tractors have steps installed to help get up on since the set a bit higher... not to mention I like to stick tall tires on like 14.9-28's Here's my every week 'lawnmower' a partly 1955 ford 950 'put together' tractor that I assembled from many odds N ends. Some front sheet metal is off a buddies 01 diesel, engine is from a LP gas model. Front pedistal is the early style 1 piece. Fuel tank is from ? something 55-64. Radiator is from some small import CAR that I used magic and hose adapters to get to fit in. Generator is from that same buddies diesel, making it a stealth 12v conversion as diesel prior models were 12v. Currently it has a manifold and muffler off a 2000 prior model after I hit a limb. carb is from some 134ci model that I customized to run ok on a 172. Pto shaft is from some 55-64 model that I rebuilt and had on the shelf... same with starter.. a spare I had. Front wheels and tires are take-offs from an 8n. And on and on. Like I said. it's a reverse parts machine. A frankenstein. had to make a few of the brackets for the head and gas tank as this think had bolts and studs broke off and in her all over, including a few holes stripped out, especially onthe front of the head were fuel tank brackets bolt. Some holes I was able to drill and save threads.. some I drilled out larger and tapped oem, some I had to just bridge with a custom bracket and find other holes. Air cleaner is wrong. front bumper is actually a ag model bumper I torched the arms off and then welded a central mount that would fit the front bolt pattern on the front pedistal. Step on the running board is actually one I made to fit the bolt pattern on a JD letter series rear axle, but never used so reworked to bolt on to help get on. I think the rear fenders are original.
