Half scale tractors, narrow front garden tractors by Don Campbell

JD tractor parts- Todays picture shows the front steel now cut out of the grill and the metal screen in place. It’s hard to see with the light . Also today i built the fuel cap and the radiator caps for the hood. Then I drilled 8 holes in the top of the hood and started attaching the exhaust stack and air cleaner stack for the first time. Tomorrow I think I’ll work on mounting the first fender to the frame.
You can see it isn’t sitting quite level right now, ha,ha.
Go Cart Steering wheels- Tomorrow the two garden tractor steering wheels should arrive.
Diamond plate chrome plated- I bought a piece of shiny diamond plate metal for the running boards on Teraks pulling tractor and some chrome rod for the side levers to dress it up.
Frost tonight – It has been cold today with cold north air blowing in from Canada . Going to frost tonight in some areas.
Komatsu pc-8000-6 mining mass excavator – Next Monday i get back to toy building and put the four garden tractors aside so I want to get this jd720 narrow front a little farther along before Monday . Once the fenders get mounted and the seat is built it will look good on the right side . I would also like to get the rear right wheel insert/axle done .
Have a great Wed.
