Ian 2,417 #4 Posted September 17, 2014 A nice build Max, does TBD stand for "To be decided"? I like the tube chassis, looks like it came from a dragster.. Which wouldn't be a bad thing I'm trying to work out in which direction the build is going.. I'm guessing your going for a "Model T tractor" look... 1 Vinnetrow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing your going for a "Model T tractor" look... I started as a tubular frame tractor, something a little different? But it is starting to be inspired by the Villiers Bike, there are plans to build a trailer to tow the bike On 9/18/2014 at 5:00 PM, nigel said: love it max hope you keep us updated with the build I'll try my best Niget! 2 rotoscytheben and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was my first thought when I saw the photo with the bonnet on Fantastic work Max, how much fun was it keeping the wheel hub and rim lined up for welding the spokes in? 1 Vinnetrow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #17 Posted October 24, 2014 Nice work. I'm interested to see how your taking the drive from engine to trans axle. A type of right angle drive at a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diggerjames 543 #21 Posted October 25, 2014 What sort of 90 box is it as I'm after one my self loving the build by the way ! James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinnetrow 129 #22 Posted November 13, 2014 Sorry for being slack with updates. However, progress is being made and it now has a bonnet, grill and steering. It is also running a Kohler K181 with a 28mm Amal carb. Belts are hooked up, wiring...well, works? Haha it needs tidying. So hopefully I will have some pictures and perhaps a video of a test drive this weekend?
