Some photos of a 30-year dream come true:
I would like to thank my father, Larry McDonald, and my friend Norman Steinman for providing the inspiration for this dream. I found it to be a 6-year project that required dedication and thought. I also want to thank my wife Cindy for putting up with my "addiction". |

Absolutely Drippin' Cool WC there! I'd wanna wear two layers of hearing protection, and 4 layers of dirt-protection when hookin' that up to something...
Now... tell us the gearhead details: What's the powerplant, how'dya couple it in, etc... And... have 'ya tried it yet? |

Thanks for the comments. The motor is a SBC with alum. heads and high rise intake with a healthy cam. I made the motor adapter and fly wheel to connect to the trans. All the work was done by myself except for the paint job. (I don't do paint.)

Looks nice but it needs a 5 or 6 bottom plow and then the wheel won't fit in the furrow so you'll have to set it up to run on land. LOL

I have a spare 7.3 power stroke that belongs in something orange.... of course, red power in an orange tractor would cause planets to melt or something.

I like the black frame rails with the chrome bolts. That make her look mighty thought. You have done a boat load of work and I don't mean to affend, but maybe a roll cage could/should be added?

Is it safe to assume you have converted to foot brakes? Hand brakes would be too exciting on the track.
That is a very nice machine! I like the name you have given her, too.
Excellent work.

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

SSHHHHHWWWEEEEEEEEEEEE.......TAHH!
That thing moves me in a nearly sexual way! OK, maybe not that much, but it sure is cool! And pretty! And shiny!
Definitely think I would back up earplugs with muffs, and maybe duct-tape to be safe.LOL! Thanks for sharing. Awesome job.

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!
