Build story
This build is the brain child of my now 13 yr old step son ( his birthday was a week ago) . He started it as a school project , but now that school is closed it's more of a shop class home school deal . He has done 90% of the welding on this , he has never welded before . He designed the hitch and wheelie bars and as we go on will be doing the weight brackets ( I just had 99 10lb weights cut at the fab shop yesterday ) . Hes been pulling for 3 years with an old tractor his dad and him built when he was 3 years old , we repowered it and hes been enjoying it since . But he wanted a big tractor to run so this is his build . He pulls with his 9 year old brother , 73 year old grandfather and 37 yr old step father . He has a natural talent to controlling a tractor pulling 6,000 lbs . This build and the community of tractor pulling has taught him many valuable lessons in growing both mechanically and as a team player and sportsmanship . He does have a youtube with a couple videos of him pulling but not on this tractor yet . Dhmayhem on youtube . This tractor was pulled from the junk yard and saved to be beat another day .
