1/64th Custom Muddies

Here is on of my 1/64th customs. It is a Case 1280 tractor with a folding wing disc. I removed the disc gangs, and painted them silver so it would like it just came out of the field from discing. Then the whole set was painted a custom "muddy/dusty" version, which is my own custom system.
This is the 2008 National Farm Toy Show Edition, Allis Chalmers 7580. This was a nice tractor to start with, but I thought a little bit of "mud" or "dust" would really make this neat. I sold this tractor on E-bay.

This tractor started out as a Case International 480 Quadtrac Tractor. Then I decided that this tractor would look really neat "muddy." As you can see, this tractor has been in some serious "mud."


If any of you collectors would be interested in a custom item, don't hesitate to contact me. Any one of these tractors would look really great on your farm scenes, or in your personal collection.




John Deere Garden Tractor Puller

Here is a John Deere garden tractor that I got off of E-bay. It's in pretty rough shape. I wanted to make a John Deere garden pulling tractor for my own collection, so this became the perfect candidate. The following pictures is what it was transformed into.
I built my own weight bracket for the front, with 3 custom weights. The side pipe was also a custom piece.
Here is the rear view. The wheelie bars are custom made, and these tires really "beefed" up this bad boy.


This side view shows the custom side pipe, and the chrome wheels in the back. This puller turned out really nice.




Hey I Have Been Busy

Here is some before and after pictures of a Vintage Hubely Ford 6000 Commander.
This tractor was pretty beat up, but not beyond repair. In this picture it shows the new three point lift arms in the back.
There was some hand painting and a lot of taping done on this tractor. The muffler and air cleaner are plastic, just like on the original. The decals are chromed behind the lettering. Thanks Wayne for giving me the chance to work on this one.

Here is the rear view of the Ford before I did any thing. The three point lift arms are broken, the steering wheel is broken, and it was missing the muffler and air cleaner.


Here is the "before" side view of the Ford 6000 Commander.

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:
CUSTOM CONCEPT MACHINING
KRIS MARTIN
DAKOTAH TOYS
BOSSEN IMPLEMENT
JOSH EBRIGHT FOR ENTRUSTING ME WITH THE JOB
OUR FAMILIES FOR PUTTING UP WITH THE LONG HOURS
& LAST BUT NOT LEAST
GOD, FOR GIVING ME THE SKILL TO DO IT RIGHT

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.
