My 4x4 articulating 23hp tractor and cab project

[Waldon52]

My whole life I have wanted to build a half scale 4x4 articulating tractor with a cool front blade. Last year I finally did it . I just finished putting the cab windows in it this week . I have always wanted to share some of my projects here as i have seen over the years so many cool posts. My tractor is a 23 hp twin cylinder full time 4 wheel drive hydrostatic drive. The front blade raises and tilts side to side hydraulically. I am waiting for a nice snowstorm to try it out. I used a Steiner frame , axles , hydraulics. I cut the frame twice and exteneded both ends . I rebuilt the seat mount to move with the front of the tractor . I built the cab to scale but the rear cab wall removes and a quick seat attached for actual snowplowing use.

Here are a few progress photos . The fenders, hood and cab are built from 18 ga. sheet metal.
