Here is the 18 hp twin cylinder Ranch King I bought yesterday . It runs great and drives great . It even has a new battery
I know it is hard to imagine but when I get done tweaking it the results should look much better :thumbsup:

Whew, I thought at 11 I had something to worry about. Now I need to catch up.

You can never have enough tractors!

Geez, and I ran out of space at 5.

Looks like I need to do some re-arranging and make some acquisitions.

And I'm real anxious to see another crawler build, there isn't enough of those in my opinion.

I guess he was done with having "just" 14?

Ha, Ha, Ha:laughing:
Been away from the workshop but I am back and raring to go :thumbsup:
I got the Ranch King grill , fenders and running boards sanded and painted Cat Yellow.
The hood was cracked in nine places and I am tweaking it now so it can still be used.

 

[woodlandfarms]

so where do you find these? what sort of deal are you getting on them?

 

[Baby Grand]

Looks great!

 

[Waldon52]

I try to get them for around $100.00 ea. I feel good starting them up and driving them
on the trailer at $100.00 I have a couple contacts that keep me supplied , he has about three more I would like before winter hits
I am sanding on the hood and side panels today and should get them painted this afternoon :thumbsup:

Love those tires on the middle one!

 

[Waldon52]

I love the bigger tires too
Here is a picture of the painted hood and side panels for the Ranch King. Not perfect but solid like new with the nine cracks repaired. :dance1:

Man I could sure use your skills, my mom's 345 hood is all cracked up and it's around $400 from the dealer. I have contemplated a few times trying my hand at fiberglassing and painting itn. The canopy on my 1070 is the same way. What paint are yoy using on the plastic panels, does regular enamel work?

Seriously, aside from the color, that tractor looks just like my 1992 Craftsman GT6000.....Looking Good! :thumbsup:

 

[Waldon52]

Yes , just regular tractor paint and a paint brush . I did not use fiberglass , I just riveted thin metal on the inside of each crack and used just bondo and sanded it smooth and a nice thick coat of paint slapped on with a paint brush. In a couple weeks I can sand out the rough spots and it looks good enough for me and my grandson to have fun on, ha,ha.
