Very Cool!! what did you use for your pivot pins and bushing and how long is the stroke of the steering rams?

[benjaminwayneb]

@yellowk20 I used the front wheel spindles and hubs from a rear wheel drive car for the pivots. This gave me 2 pivot pins with 4 tapered roller bearings( 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom ). One of my other videos gives a better view of the pivot. I only have one dual acting cylinder for steering, it's a 10 inch by 2 1/2 inch cylinder.

is the cab heated and is that motor diesel or gasser

[benjaminwayneb]

@piffsterr2 The engine is a 318 Chrysler and the cab has heat.

how much (roughly) would it cost to make one of these?

[benjaminwayneb]

@12peter96 It largely depends on how much you need to spend on a power train components and hydraulics. This tractor cost about $3600.00

@820coke What do you do when it doesn't stop snowing for 2 or 3 days?

Glad to see you posting videos of this beast again!

@Centron93 never said it was just said you could save fuel by waiting till it stops snowin. im sure it can handle a few feet of snow.

@820coke Driving that thing is not a waste of time :)

awesome job on the tractor that would be even better with a blower on the front i live an hour north of london and in my town the road plow drivers get kinda pissed if you pile your laneway snow along the side of the road

you should make the blade higher so when you plow in to a pile it dont come over the plow
