Some finished pictures
I posted this last night or early this morning and posted it in the wrong thread. Tried copy and paste didn't work. So I'll start over.
Other than a few little tidy things to do the tractor is pretty much finished. Here are a few pictures I took after a test run. I have a brush guard to put back on but wanted to snap off a few pictures of what it looks like without it. It will be red.

Here's a picture of the front end showing the custom headlight visors I made that where made for Harley Davidson motorcycles. I'm going to hate putting a brush guard on the front, but I'm going to need it pushing over some small saplings busg hogging.

Here's a picture of my grandson Kolton sitting proud on the 135. His granny was bringing him home from school and he saw me coming off the hill in the car and started squealing like a stuck pig. He has CP and loves tractors. Especially riding on one. He makes the project worth the effort.

Here's a picture of my new self made Z145 I.D. tag. Due to copyright laws I couldn't make more than two or three for myself. Mine has greater detail and only one slight difference it would take an expert to spot It turned out well. The rivets came from Fastenal Inc in Springfield,TN
