I just read his build thread and found that he has a 243" wheelbase tractor. That would work for me. I have no problem or concerns stretching the frame after the axles I was worried about doing t before the axles. Kenn's thread is everything I want to do and the older Pete's are reasonable to find. Are most of the tractors with sleepers and twin screws that big of a wheel base? If so that would be perfect. I read that after they remove the front axle then they end up with 270" or so. My project is still in the planning stage also. I am looking through all the forums I can find to figure out how the frame is built and what wall tubing. Seems 2x2 is common I have seen 3/16" being used for the wall. What about roofs? I see people saying aluminum is the best but where do you get 1 piece that is that big ? Can you buy the bullnose corners from a trailer place?
Sorry for all the questions this is just something I found out that I can build and afford.
