Like I said all opinions welcome just lookin for input . Another pic of the loader

Nice cub and loader!

Get a hold of these guys....... Maple Hunter Decals

They make new decals. Since they make their own, they might be willing to make you a custom set. They are the absolute "go to" for decals, but don't know about custom ones, I've never asked....

I have to agree with everyone else, nice machine. By simply viewing the large front tires and rear duals, your tractor reminds me of the John Deere 4840 2wd tractors that came factory with the large flotation wheels. I always thought they looked tough compared to your 11.00-16 that came on most tractors of that series.

thanks. I've also always been fond of the look of a tractor with big floats on the front. once i put the 26's on the back the 16x6.5's just didnt' look big enough. I'm very happy with how the stance came out. Now I just need to build a chisel plow to pull behind it.
couple more pics and another of the loader tractor

This is pretty much how I want to build my 71 for plowing. I will call it 141. Yours looks good pulling those logs. Hope your rear hitch area is beefed up pulling all of that weight.

stock hitch setup I've pulled all kinds of stuff with just those three bolts swapped them for longer grade 8s though. I believe I was actually pulling those logs with the sleeve hitch too (helps raise the hitch point better traction), and it was all it could do to pull some of those logs even weighing in close to 1500lbs with me on it and depending on how many suitcase weights I have hanging on it(had 2 42lbs ones on the back that day). I've never had issues with the stock hitch setup other than put studs on a 1450 once(made it easier to take tiller off and on without loosing fluid) bent the hell out of them pulling a plow, and it still leaked fluid stupid hydros lol. you should definitely do a buld up on a 71 I like how all the 7hp tractors maintained the 70/100 rear frame so you can run fenders or no fenders. You will have to notch the frame like a 147 to fit a k321 in it though and if your going to load it down with weight I'd suggest opting for and hd carrier and fine spline axle swap. I grenaded 2 stock carriers with single 23-10.5-12s and a couple hundred lbs less weight. I dont know what the limmits are on the heavy carrier is but I plan on pushing it until I find out I have a backup or two. Only good use for a hydro I've found is for donor parts haha.

Did this with loaded 23/10.5/12s loaded and 200lbs of wheel weights plowing snow and that was the second one. So got a hold of Rich Patton, I believe his website is up top to find my first HD rearend this was like 5 years ago I don't know if he still has any but he'oook a good parts guy to know. I believe I had to get bearings from Akron bearing and do some machine work to get it into an all cast iron rearend housing can' rember for sure.

My vote goes to "kibbles & bits " just like my van !
