I started this a while back, and have been puttering around with it as time and finances allow.
Its a 76 Ford LGT 165 that's been repowered with a 13hp Clone.
There wasn't a whole lot left of the original tractor except a frame and sheetmetal. When I got it the engine was missing, the rubber was shot, grill and battery cover were missing, and someone had torched out the centers of some truck rims to mount 15" tires on it.
The repower was pretty simple all things considered. The crawler conversion is taking a bit more work.
Check out my youtube channel for more info on the build

The tractor as purchased.
Up on the table for the repower.
Repowered with the clone engine
Tracks are built, and working on the under carriage
Steering brakes are a combination of Lincoln calipers with Dodge avenger rotors and pads.
Building the push frame.
