Hello

[jsaw]

Hello, my name is Jim, I am a mechanic for a commercial ambulance company. In my spare time I enjoy tinkering . I do not currently own a tractor, unless you doing a pair of riding lawn mowers. I do own a Polaris 4 wheeler that I use as a workhorse. It has a snow plow that I built an extension and a wing for.
Another hobby is a custom homebuilt motorcycle.
I ended up at this site while researching CADTrac loaders.
Either way, I am hoping to build something to serve as a snow plow/ Workhorse.

Welcome to TBN, Jim. You will enjoy hanging out here, a lot of people with your same interests and skills.
Being a long time motorcyclist, I would like to know more about the one you built, we love pictures!

Welcome to TBN! Careful... I didn't own anything except a lawn mower when I joined TBN back in the day, and now my barn is full of implements and a few tractors. It's the best habit-forming addiction you can have!

That looks really nice! What engine did you use?

 

[jsaw]

I bought a used 1991 Harley Davidson 80" Evolution engine. I was told that it had 12,000 miles on it. I have ridden it 60,000 miles myself . the transmission is an aftermarket one that I bought from JP Cycles. It is one of the few new parts that I bought. Most everything I bought used, or from swap meets, I tried to build as much as I could. this is My 14th season riding it

14 years and it's holding up, that's some good lasting work. Amazing what you've done to make a box of parts into something nice.

Nice work, jsaw, Mine are : 73 Shovel powered Superglide (2nd owner, since '87), in the process of upgrading from the well worn banana caliper brakes.
'85 Iron Sporty, bought new, still almost mint condition. '02 Ultra..my wife's favorite, bought new for our anniversary in late ' Converted it to Andrews gear drive cams one Winter.
