Dummy, I just don't like JI Case red/orange and I had a gal. of the rustX grape. I planed on using the grape as a base coat, but Realy like the way it looks.
Mirth. I had planed on a FEL for the Suburban with the 9.2 Wisconsin. I would of used 1.5x3" tube instead of the 2x3. Imay still do this in the future.

Are you at all concerned that this might get a bit "tippy" with those narrow front wheels?

Looks like good work so far, but I'd be really wary of a loader on a tricycle framed tractor. Those things are quite tippy without a loader.

Nice work Cleatus. I can appreciate your mock ups. No mater how much work I do on paper, I always like to test my work with a mock up when possible. Maybe I will get it right some day /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif The attachment is a drawing I made and used for my fel.

Tippy is realitive to the common cents of the fool ,in my case. operating the equipment. I'm not overly worried as I learned a long time ago not to drive with bucket over foot off ground, unless your on leval ground. I've seen more wide front ones tipp over than I ever heard of tricycles.

You make a good point there. For someone who's not used to tractors it might be a problem, but like you say, even wide front ones go over.

True enough, I've come close with my Yanmar, and it's about 4' wide front and back, just by dropping a wheel in a hole I didn't know was there. Fortunately I only had the bucket up a foot or so. It just seems like a "triangle" would be easier to tip than a "square" with the load way out front, but you're right, on flat ground it shouldn't be a problem long as you don't hit a hole like I did..........
