I have never seen that.  Thanks for posting!  My Dad and his old car buddies will get a kick out of it.  One of them is also an old tractor nut.

That's cool! cooldude

BUT! (there is always a butt) it would look cooler with a big honk'en blower on top instead of the plastic air box!

Neat conversion.  cooldude

Though it does bring back some not so fond memories of disking fields, planting hay fields, cutting hay, spreading hay, sweeping hay, bailing hay from a Ford-N.

That looks REAL sharp.  I like it.
Too bad about the Valkyrie having to donate, though.  I imagine it was wrecked.

As for the blower vs. airbox:  Yeah, it looks a little funky with the top up, but as soon as the cowling is closed, the airbox is covered, and think of how much easier that airbox is to remove without the frame rails in the way!!
Although, you'd probably be the only farmer on the block with a blown tractor...

That guy is something else!  In the bio he just mentions hooking up the fuel system...I wander if he went with the Pingle or the stock petcock and maybe did the de-mog?Roll Eyes 

It would be interesting to hear the F-6 motor rev up in the tractor frame. Wink

The link did came up on the general board a while back.

It was one of the rotating pictures on the opening "main board" for a while.  It is somewhere in the "just pics" section I would bet.
