Welcome, to fun with CUBS, we Americans, have always been super hot roders, (innovators). My grandfather was a Dano on my mother's side. paternal side was a German (Zerwe). I have learned a lot from all these forum members!!! Enjoy!:American Flag 1::Welcome2:

Kurt,
I cant imagine how you can do one of these in 2 months! Took me 4-5 months to do a std Cub:)
Great job on getting the scale right. How do you build the rear wheels? Spokes?
I am going back to review your information.
As others have said, Amazing work!
Thanks for posting the pictures as you progressed from a std cub to this custom machine!
Regards,
Chris

looks great cant wait to see 1206 :biggrin2:

Thanks again everyone.

I use 16 inch x 8 inch wide rims on the rear, the tires stand 31 inches tall.

You need to remember, I'm working 30-50 hours a week on these tractors. They are "technically" my "job" if you want to call it that. I get to have fun building other people's toys... now if I could only come up with a "duplicating machine" so I could keep a copy for my self... :bigthink: The rear rims are standard implement rims. I have "hub extensions" made to widen the track, and change the bolt pattern.

Kurt

:ThumbsUp: Great job as usual! Still enjoy admiring your work every time I see. Such tallent! :beerchug:

Kurt,
Heck I think I was working 30-50 hours part time per week on my 147 this summer:)
Thanks for the info on the rims.
I would love to build something like one of these, and you may just give me the inspiration to do it!
Do you prefer std shift or the hydro version? Looks like most are Hydros??
How much engine work do you do? Complete rebuild on the engine too?
Sorry for all the questions but this stuff is really neat and you do a great job. Checked out your web site/blog. Very nice too!
Regards,
Chris

That is awesome! WOW! have your ever thought of taking a 982 and building a 5088 ? That 1066 is very cool!

The more I look at this creation of yours, the more I :drool2: :drool2: . I am wondering though, can you get wider tires in the style and size you use? I think it would look really neat with tires almost twice as wide. Leave the front ones the same, but with a set of meaty tires on the rear. That would also look cool. DON'T get me wrong - I am not bashing what you have done, that is one heck of a great creation. I am just wonder/thinking the wide tires would also look cool. Especially with the square fenders you have. I just have a thing for wider tires? Odd I know.

:ThumbsUp:
