IT IS FINISHED !!!!!!
Two weeks ago I could not get $500.00 for this old jd 110 round fender. I had several people stop and look but no buyers. I did sell the other 2 110 round fender tractors I had . So I took this lemon and made lemonade , ha,ha,ha. Now I absolutely love this little min 4020 and I know my little grandson is going to love driving it too. It really seemed good to be back in the workshop the last two weeks.:cool2::cool2::dance1::dance1:

How did you do the front tires and spindles

I see a $4,000-5,000 tractor

Todays pics show the 1/2 scale jd 4020 out in the backyard for the first time. Deb downloaded a video of me pulling out of the workshop and driving it in the backyard for the first time. It is fun to drive . I am very happy how it turned out. I will try to get more than $500.00 for it now, ha,ha.

Anyone wanting to see the video can go to You-Tube at doncampbellmodels, video number 193 .

Great job Don! Looks great!

Thanks ,
Todays workshop progress shows two new sets of fenders. I cut them out, drilled and bent them up. The new headlights are mounted. Next week I will start a second 1/2 scale jd 4020 . The six new tires should arrive this Sat. Once I get the second one done I will put them for sale on Craigslist . If they sell I will build me another one and if they don't sell I will just enjoy them myself with my grandson. There is a fellow in Southern Michigan that sells them for around $10,000.00 ea. Mine are not as nice so I will ask $4,000.00 for this one and $5,000.00 for the next one. The next one will have hydrastatic transmission and duel hydraulic outlets so I will have a lot more into the tractor to start with. The next one will also have rear duels as I love how they look.

Can not wait for this build. New thread or no??

So which ones are you keeping for yourself?

Waldon52 · Aug 30, 2015

Todays pic shows the 1/2 scale jd 730 up on my lift. I robbed these fenders off this tractor and put them on the new 1/2 scale jd 4020 project . So I built this new set for this tractor . I also bought another jd garden tractor yesterday and hauled it home . So the second set of new fenders will go on that next 1/2 scale jd 4020 project. I will try to sell one of them and keep one of them. If it does not sell then my grandson and I can have matching mini 4020's , ha,ha. Three more days I should get the new tractor in the shop and get going . This one has hydrostatic transmission and duel hydraulic hookups so it will be much nicer to drive.

After selling 5 of my little tractors recently it was time to buy one, ha,ha. Last Sat. I dragged this old jd 140 tractor home. This has hydraulics so now I can build a disc or piece of tillage equipment and raise and lower it. I could also build a working three point hitch for it . This will be another fun 1/2 scale jd 4020 project.

Todays pic shows the old 1/2 scale jd 730 narrow front tractor with new fenders, new lights, new seat , and I am now fabricating new running boards. This will all make it much more fun to drive. Maybe duel rear wheels too ??
