Project Clydesdale

You should come down here and help lol.

It will have the standard steps it had from the factory, then a lower step added to reach that one.

The seat bracket assy is getting it's final test fit, it's blasted, cleaned up and ready for paint.

nice ..u going to use a seat with the arm rests?

Not sure yet Nappy, it's a long way from needing a final seat lol.

It's getting even bigger now, but bigger is better... I may jump to the front + rear fender setups just to get them done and out of the way, and see what kind of space is left to work other things around. To do the front correctly and cover most all of the tire means the rear pan has to be widened about 6" to match. The rear needs to be moved down about 4" or so as well. It shouldn't be hard, just more time consuming than anything getting something that looks factory. It should be fun.

Well that wasn't so bad for the first try, they still need a little trimming around the rearend brackets but other than that they fit pretty good and are the same front + rear.

Will it be full time 4x4 or part time?
or maybe it will need a transfer case?
nice job either way...................................

Now for the magic drive train.

Haven't got that far yet Nappy but I have some ideas lol.

Gonna have to do the drive train after I get everything that may get in the way first GT. I knew I needed the fender placement done so things weren't sticking up above them. I will need to notch the front fender for the main drive belt to the front transmission but that's not a biggie. I would still like to see the fenders above the 3/4" rods just to bring them up a little, I think a little extra clearance than factory may look better on such a big tractor. The ag tires will be a little taller and wider than the not to spec Dico tires also. The fenders are set at the same level as the factory in the initial pics. After the steering my head was hurting a little was another reason I moved on to the seat and some more fun type stuff lol.

Charles is picking up his restored 656 tomorrow that I just got done with so now I can go play with the monster a little more.

Did a lot of cleaning this morning, now I'm moving on to cleaning up parts from tractors used to build this thing that are scattered all over the shop.

I opened up the holes in the plastic cover so the gauges could go in from the outside, that is one of the biggest messes Toro ever made, all the stuff that had to come off to get a gauge out. The first pick shows the far left hole opened up to 2", maybe you can see the difference. The hardest one was getting the center one right. A few more pieces out of the way and on the tractor...

Other than that I'm gonna round up what I need for this one that's just sitting around that could be put on the tractor and get it blasted and painted this afternoon. I've got to do something with this mess!
