Dtret Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I bought a 70( yes the joke in the for sale section) and a 72 from the same guy. I haven’t really looked at the 72 frame but it was hit pretty good, pass front. The horns were cut off that I know. What are the thoughts on welding frames together around the double front body mounts??? Just a thought I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then weld. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Preliminary cut just to get rid of the garbage. lol. I’m just playing with this by the way. Most likely not going to happen. Seeing if I can make something useful out of junk. lol. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Carrying that section of frame 1500 feet may have been pointless. But the idea was ok. lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting much to old, and sore, to be doing this anymore. lol. I was too lazy to take the plow off the tractor and put on the forks so I carried it. I guess I’m not so smart either. 😝 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wheels on the back section. In the for sale section I posted that picture of the rusty body, and I was trying to figure out how to lift it without taking the tractor apart. Karen suggested that I just strap it to the gator and drag it up the hill on the roof. That worked great it just left a rust stain going up the hill. Out of sight, out of mind. For now. lol. Now I’m thinking about turning it into a sled to ride down the hill if we get some snow. I’ll get pictures if I do it. The holes in the roof may cause excessive drag. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Just an FYI the original post talked about a 72 , that’s a different deal. That car is up the hill covered for winter. The pics are of the 70 I was getting ready to scrap. Just to clear up some confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
