here are some pics of the beast finally ready to be reunited with her loader and return to work. no less than 8 different tractors and one combine donated parts including 3 John Deere A's, 2 John Deere 60's, 1 Massey 44, 1 Allis Chalmers 190xt, 1 Allis Chalmers 8010, and a John Deere 105 combine. the crankcase and transmission are from a 60 so it has live pto and i used a 60 governer and hydralic pump to run the orbital power steering from the 105. the wide front was installed about 10 years ago and has never given a bit of trouble. the rear rims were split and a 6' band added to make room for the 15.5-38s loaded with calcium. Two additional rear wheel castings were bolted on for additional weight. Submitted by Randy Varilek, from SD
