Dougsr Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 This is Mustang Sally. She has a 302 Ford engine with a four speed trans mounted in front of the tractor trans. She had to have 18 inches added to the frame to make this work. It is a crowd pleaser when she shows up at a show or parade. My friend built this tractor a few years ago. He played with it a while then sold it. He is going to build a John Deere 40 with a flathead ford for his next hotrod tractor.Doug 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28807-hotrod-tractor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhlz Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That thing has to be fast! Did you have the courage to put it in high and high gear to find out the top speed?

Dougsr Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 It will run at least 45. It is a wild ride. The front wheels look like shopping cart wheels going that fast. It has the orignal hood and gas tank. He moved the gas tank forward and built the battery box where the tank was. It is a lot of fun to drive. The way he fixed the shifter for the four speed you can ony shift third and fourth. You can get ff and move it over and shift first and second but it is not needed.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28807-hotrod-tractor/#findComment-150787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hello!Nice machine! In Germany, Porsche used to build tractors. While not very fast, they sure have a hot-rod look to them. People in Germany like to restore those Porsche tractors and use them to ride around the villages. Have a nice dayPaweł 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28807-hotrod-tractor/#findComment-150794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougsr Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Well the tractor belongs to this young lady's mom. They both are in our antique and tractor club. She is full of crap as a Christmas turkey. If you dish it out to her you better be ready because it is going to come back at you. She don't mind hammering on Mustang Sally.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28807-hotrod-tractor/#findComment-150844 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Saw this for sale on another website. for sale is a two cylinder diesel Porsche Allgaier 216 that has had a complete restoration, starts and runs great, tires are 90%, engine was fixed before painted, paint on the tractor makes it look like the day it came from the factory. If you are lookig for a tractor no one else has at the shows this summer this is it. All the hard work is already been done and it was done right!
