Hi All, just thought I would introduce my Gutbrod 1032. i have restored it completely then modified it to suit my purposes. I move my 22ft caravan with it. It looks a bit odd but dose the job. I was having trouble at low revs having to slip the clutch so I fitted a 16hp honda copy engine. It has hydraulic rear linkage, 55amp alternator and I have just managed to fit Barford Atom 15 wheel weights . giving me 32kg each side plus water balasted rear wheels. It will now plough solid clay without having to use diff lock. I hope this dosn,t offend the purests with all the mods but it dose the jobs i require of it Just need a Rotovator now !

Going with the electric clutch rather than the manual clutch on this D-160 for the rear PTO and will put the manual clutch with the double pulley on the other D that will run a mower if I get another rear PTO.

I have posted a Link on the you tube section of the video my son did of the engine change. hanks all for the warm welcome

Hi all another day of fabricating I think I must be on my 50th cutting disc it's now starting to take shape I still don't know what it will look like when it's done as its changing every day but I think I now the general course of things I've now finished one side of the wheel arches and half way they the other side ! I've also started the battery acces and storage hatch which is under the seat here's a few pics what I've done so far

Collective sale at the South of England showground today Over 800 lots, here's the vintage lots that turned up...

That's a cool looking tractor, nothing wrong with a few mod's a few of us are into modifying our rides me included, I have got a few unmolested ones as well. well done on the vid too

Looks really good. Can I borrow it for tomorrow's ploughing match.

Coming on grand. Still can't stop thinking halftrack though.

Cracking little tractor !!

It was bitterly cold there so after my bidding we went home for a warm up, I did get a few prices though... The Howard 350 made £20 but it was an absolute snotter The Cyclone spreader made £20, I know that coz I bought it !! The Howard Bullfinch next to the Cyclone made £10 again that was a bit of a dog

A small break in and amongst other jobs meant I finished off the pipe work. It's all neatly routed behind the fender and through the hood stand. Tank is now under the seat, but I forgot to take a picture.

What a little beauty , welcome to My Old Machine .

Nice work!

love it, check out project horsegut on here its mine and ians modified gutbrod

that looks great Alain, what are you going to do with the back lights? and are you re-spraying it or keeping it a barn find look? Regards Joe

Great looking working machine - fit for purpose.

Rear arches look good James, hope the new tyres will fit under them

I love those tyres Alain. It really beef up the look of the WH.

That's a nice looking Gutbrod and good to see something different too. A Gutbrod is on my Wish List too.i thought I saw a Gutbrod rotovator on eBay a few months back but whether it sold I don't know.

Hi buddy fantastic looking machine it doesn't offend me nor will it offend many on here you have adapted to do what you want and made a really good job of it as well . Nice job on the wheel weights

I have 15x9 rears with turf tyres. I long for AG tyres. Even coincided pupping 15.3 x 9 with a inner tube and hope for the best

Can you water ballast the rear wheels? Sorry, missed the earlier suggestion re water.

They do bulge a tad. As you might, or might not know there are two D series rim sizes, 12" and 15", I have both, but it is almost impossible to find an AG tire in 15 inch. There are two choices 6.7-15 inch wide (which is actually a implement or pedestrian tractor tire), which would also bulge on a 7 inch wide 15" Wheel Horse rim, REALLY look stupid, The next 15 inch tire available is the 30x12-15 Carlisle Tru Powers which wont fit, because the tires would be too tall. The 30" tires I have are on the wide 10" rims and because of the wide rim they only measure 29" tall, the wide rim pulls them down, just like a pinching in on narrower rim would push them up. If I had opted for the 30x12-15 Tru-Powers on the 7-15 wheel Horse rims it would have pushed them up over 31", wouldn't fit. I really had no choice unless I wanted to lift the rear fenders and have it jacked up in back like a Serbian Yugo. I could have kept the same size all around, but the tires on most GTs were designed for mowing, wide/short tires all the way around, I wanted these tractors to have some ground clearance. To give you a good example of what I mean, other than setting to plow next to George and his Gutbrod look at the last picture in my post of my other D-160 with the the 27x9-15 Maxxis Ceros tires, they measure out at almost 28" tall because they are 9 inch wide tires on a stock wheel horse 7 inch wide rims that pushed the tire upward almost an inch. Now glance at the middle of the tractor to the angle adjustment on the snow plow, see how low it is to the ground even with 27x9-15 rears and 4-10 fronts, it is 1-1/2" inches closer to the ground with stock tires. Interco offers a 27x7.5-12 and -14 tire just like this one, but I would have to find a 6 hole narrower rim. Can you start to see my dilemma?

Why dont you fill the rear tyres with water You need pallet forks now

And while you are up there, collect the Ransom engine bits and deliver to Koen. SUTTON INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY SERVICE.

Been a bit slow, busy at work and not very motivated. Bit the bullet today Ewan did a quick video, thanks again to Doug (Ranger) for his assistance. I got there in the end!
