They may be old, but they don't have to die. Repower and alter to do more. Odd parts and Suburban This shows a Sears LT10 and the repowered Suburban with a few changes. Check above for teaser.

Here's the David Bradly mole board converted to 3ph.

Notice the traction enhancement.

That sure is a different piece of machinery. Looks like it'll go through anything. Gerard

So, do wider tires increase traction or decrease it. Seems like the wide tires would put less weight per square inch and thus be less traction. I don't know.

In any case, that machine sure is a brute. I love machines that show modifications for a specific purpose. They just have a useful and well used look about them.

I'll put it this way, with the original tires, any time the plow hung a rock the tires would spin, with these tires the tractor just stood up until it could go no futher.
The other day this little feller pushed a fullsize dodge van loaded full and never spun a tire and it's only 9.2hp.

very nice..i like the huge rear tires and rims. what are they off of? that engine looks like a WISCONSIN AENLD. they are great engines.. i rebuilt a AENLD back in 2000 and transplanted it on a "63 wheel horse and it has all the power i need. i also transplanted a 10 hp diesel in a larger wheel horse tractor, and the torque is incredible.. now i am hooked on diesel's.. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

The tires are off of a piggy back fork lift and you were correct on the aenld, it's a 1958.
