Another commissioned Christmas gift. I've been informed the future recipient(who definitely doesn't fit the demographic you'd expect :lol isn't exactly up in the interweb so I'm good to post.

Lot of pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/browndogwelding/sets/72157622740279407/

yup. Awesome as usual. I'm not a jealous person, but I wish I had skills like that.

Look at the tread! Freaking awesome work, Josh!

Absolutely insane attention to detail. Wow.

That's sweet, although I was hoping it was going to have the front tires next to each other rather than the wide front axle when I read the title, my grandpa had an Allis Chalmers like that.

Yeah, this one has the wider track in the front.

I did this John Deere for my gramps when I first started welding, like 5-6 years ago. I spent pry 100 hours on it, the wheels all turn and the steering wheel actually works to turn the front wheels.

The seat is actually bolted down through an old hammer head, and a valve spring acts like the seat spring :lol:

[Marc@AutoLavish]

i can't believe the attention to detail you're able to provide. Another instant classic!

We had one with the Vtrac front end. My dad and I have a couple of old tractors that we show.

That is sweet Josh! Both of those are. I REALLY like your attention to detail there. You should post up on some of the tractor boards. I bet you could get a lot of business from those guys!

My uncle has a 50's Farmall. I will be interested to see how it turns out!
