The red one is an International 1586, that you can see in the lower picture was in pretty rough shape. The John Deere is a 4450, named GREEN STREAK, these are high quality American made tractors and customized by BlakWolf Custom Farm Toys.

If you would be interested in having work done feel free to contact me.

HERE COMES DA JUDGE

What Is This?? This was some of what a 3 month long project. Let me give you the story on my 1/16 scale IRONMAN Pulling Sled. How do build something durable enough for a 9 year old boy to play, but yet be a great show piece. After drawing all the dimensions out, I gave the blueprint to Chad Kerstetter, owner of Custom Concept Machining, in Mt. Pleasant Mills, PA. He machined the frame as well as the back plate, he also made the weight box, and the mounting block for the sled pan. Welding was done by Kris Martin, a good friend.
This is the International 1586 hooked up and ready to rock.

Here is the John Deere 4450 read to roll.

The back plate was milled by Chad Kerstetter, check out the diamond tread. Excellent job Chad, wouldn't be the same without it. I did the custom interior, including the rubber floor mat.

The painting was done by yours truly, BlakWolf Custom Farm Toys. The color Mopar Plum Crazy on the frame and the weight box and pan is John Deere Yellow. The new owners name is Judge, so what better name for the sled than, HERE COMES DA JUDGE!!

My many thanks to:

Hey guys, last year I made my girls each a tractor, Mistie's is pink, and Natalie's is blue, this year they will be getting wagons to match. Thanks to Barry Strawser Signs for the extra added touch of "Daddy's Girl." Merry Christmas Girls

This is a John Deere Disk from 1968. It was in pretty rough shape, but after stripping the paint, sanding, primer, and quality paint, and decals, it is back in shape. The disc gangs came from Dakotah Toys. This is a Christmas present for my Dad.

Here's one you don't see everyday! This is a Massey Harris Clipper combine from the 1950's. The paint had to be custom ordered, and was expensive. There was also a new pto shaft added, and hitch as well as a drive spring. This project is the oldest item in my list of restored items. It was also a real great item to gain some more experience on, since it seems that almost everything has different details. As you can see there is a big difference from before and after. The tractor pulling it is my John Deere 3020 custom that I did.

The customer that I did the Massey Harris for, also had me do this one for him. He had this tractor restored by somebody else, but was not satisfied with the decals, and wondered if I could do any better. The lower picture is the before and the top is the after. I liked this easy job.

Hey guys heres some before and after pictures of an old 1/12 scale Ford 8600. This tractor has a 3 point hitch, but was missing the right side fender, as can be seen on the lower picture. It took awhile to find the fender, but it was worth the wait. This tractor was done as a Christmas present for one of my friends from the Village Merchant.
BEFORE PICTURE

This is an older John Deere Log Skidder, from the 1970's. This thing was in pretty rough shape as you can see in the picture below. I had to make the engine panels and add the pulley system in the rear fenders. This tractor was a neat experience and was also made for the same guy as above.
