Mechanical work done last year, then bush hogged 10 acres and got a couple bugs out. Started the cosmetic work two weeks ago. Planning on hauling to Missouri in August for Dad. I think he bought one of those 1/16 scale precision toys of the 40T WFE with a two bottom plow and wants this unit to put that toy on, which will be a cute combo. I won't have time to redo the plow by then too. More pictures on my website.

Johnnyputt,
Things are looking great, i realy enjoyed your website. You have super photo's on there. How do you keep your shop so neat when your working if i don't take the time to rearange from time to time mine looks like a bomb went off.

420W,

Thanks for the compliment on the site. I hope to update lots of pictures after my trip in August. I'm planning on taking a load out west, including this 40. The Missouri State Fair kicks off Aug 10th and Dad has had good luck with getting first place in the Ag division. He lost out last year to another group. I told him if the price of diesel don't get any higher I'd bring a load and we'd try and get his first place plaque and $100 back this year. (Probably spend $600 for the trip in fuel, but by golly, we'll get your $100 back.) LOL

As far as keeping the shop clean. Pictures are misleading. I am, however, anal when it comes to picking up and cleaning up. Guess that comes from my military training as a young lad.

I hope to fire this 40 up either today or Monday.

40T WFE is now complete and has been transported out to Dad's new barn for safe keeping.

I have a 55 40 T while trying to pull it off the wife jerked the chain a little to hard and broke the front end i had it welded how it will hold who knows
But i was wondering where would a man get a wide front end for a 40 t and how much would it cost
thanks Hickster

Hickster,

You'll need to watch the classified ads in Green Magazine and Two Cylinder. You might also watch ytmag.com. They have a very busy classified section.

We found this unit in Arkansas and bought it for a parts tractor as everything on it was locked up. As you can see, that didn't happen. You might look for the same....buy a parts machine and use the front end and sell the rest in parts.
