Thought I would post some pics of what I just finished up. Saw one of these a couple of years ago and thought it was kind of neat. Been searching since then for a cheap tractor seat and finally got one for nothing a couple of weeks ago. A buddy had a 1970 426 Hemi crank and some 6 pack rods that were junk. I had a flywheel with a bunch of cracks. Cleaned everything up, welded together, and clear coated. Only downside is the weight of the thing. I need to find 'the' spot for it and leave it set.

Great idea looks a wee bit like the trophy the street outlaw guys hand out

"It needs some wheels under it" is the first thing my wife said also. I'll weigh it tonight as I am curious too.

Not as bad as I thought it would be at 123.6 pounds. Still a load to move around.
