The Farmer Tan

[gashuffy63]

Last year I took the lightweight route with an aluminum framed Sears, so this time around I'm gonna go with a pile of lead pipe in this 'ol Elgin. As you can see pretty much nothing is going on at this point, but I've got a line on some parts that should make the whole thing work.
Seeing that this thing weighs as much as a tractor I might as well do a tractor themed bike. This one should resemble an Oliver Super 88 when it's done, but who knows how it will turn out as my minds eye does not alway translate into the finished project, Thank God that I have until August to get it done. Cheers

good idea! the tractor resto guys have done a great job making repo graphics & paint available. i've thought about doing a farmall build (someday...)

Nice starting point. What kind of tires are on there?

I almost went tractor themed with a Johne deere mixte, glad to see you are a man with a plan....looking like a good start.

This should be sweet! Nice look from the start too

Every good farmer gets up before sunrise to work the back forty, so this is the mocked up set of lights for the Elgin. Oliver green and yellow are in the future for this pair. Cheers
