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:
