If you hadn't painted the fenders already, I'd say reshape them. Perhaps some fender flares would help hide it.:beerchug:

You make these great modifications look so easy! Another fascinating build.:beerchug:

Painted or not, my skill set does not include body work unfortunately. I thought about flares but i think that would just exacerbate the issue as my 26 12 12 tires are thinner, which is why I bought them. They look so cool on Nightow1s 782, but only when he runs those huge wheel weights.

Thank you very much for that! Im glad it looks easy cuz im kinda at an impass currently. Its veery tempting to just go back to OEM.

Thanks Todd! Got the tires from amazon. They took a little to find but really dont cost much.

Went up this morning and got 2' x 4' of 1/4" steel plate for building the 3point base. Also got new tips and electrodes for my plasma torchhope to get started soon ish.

On a whem, I decided to try laying out a stencil for the cat 0 "Ultrahitch". Using my layout table and tools this is the preliminary design of the cheeks, which bolt to the frame and axle tubes. I still need to chamfer or round the edges, and scribe an eighth of an inch off the outside to allow for my plasma torch tip. Ill then transfer the design to a piece of 1/4" plywood. This will serve as my torch guide.

Dang! The pic from the rear makes your tractor look like some kind of lunar landing vehicle! Three hydralic selector valves :bigthink: And that hitch......very interesting! :popcorn::popcorn:

Hey yall, been playing around some on the 18. Ill give you a sneak peak at my hitch project as it sits tonight. I have several things up my sleeve, and I have let the cat out on most of them, but there are a few things that will not be revealed until they come to fruition. :bigthink:
