Saw this oddity while looking at auctions. Guy connected a JD and Farmall tractors. I would be concerned about welds at final drive as I thought the metal was iron, not cast steel and steering being consistent/tracking together.

A classic case of someone that has too much time on their hands!!! My question to things like this is; If you have the ability to build something like this, and it actually works, why not do something constructive?! John Kinzenbaw never built a pos like that.

| They had an argument wiht the hired hands, one wouldn't drive a farmall, the other wouldn't drive a deere. Now when it's work time they pick which one they want to drive. |

| Are there 2 sets of cracks near the Farmall final drive flange or are they casting lines? |

It would need a whole lot of duct tape to qualify.... |

| One thing for sure with two WD-45's is, if you put them both in the same GEAR, they would go the same speed if engines were synch'd RPM wise. That Red/Green combo is engineeringly dumb. |

If I remember right there was an article on this tractor in one of the farm magazines thirty-some years ago. I think the speed issue was one of the big things to overcome. And since no one else has made the comment - what else would you do with a JD and a Farmall?

If the JD's (or the IH's)diff is welded, then the speed thing isn't much of a problem... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Did some searching and found the article. Farm Show magazine, Vol. 30, no. 4. Reading it he didn't figure out how to overcome the speed issue, he could run it from one tractor or the other. So probably locked differentials in both. This also wasn't the first time he put two tractors together, just the first time they were different tractors. https://share.google/2nOFfC88y7v2iVCbm" rel="nofollow - https://share.google/2nOFfC88y7v2iVCbm Ted ------------- 190XTD seriesIII, 190XTD seriesI, maroon belly 7000, 190XTD series??? project(or maybe parts) |
