Man, that is good news.
Been following your threads here and elsewhere.
Glad to hear.
-
The tractor arrived! Well built.
-
That tractor is awesome looking!
-
No response from Tony. The tracking number says it was returned to him on July 3rd.
Sorry to hear Chris as I know yours was custom made as well...

Looks very nice Nick.

Bummer Chris, forgot that you had your's customized... I sent you a message about his prototype that is currently on ebay.
-
Alas, no luck as there are typos in the address.
Sounds like it may go back to England again. Sounds like Tony may prefer to refund the money. :(
I just emailed him and offered to pay shipping again as I would prefer to have the one I custom ordered. So I will see what happens...
-
Very neat Nick, as Rog said....fire it up, I'd love to see it running.
-
Tony also numbered each of these, mine is #004

Yes, my great grandpa's tractor was a 10-20, going with those colors also saves me from having to repaint the wheels.
Tony didn't supply me with a tracking number although I did ask...
Any luck at the mailbox today?

Nick,
When did yours arrive? I am still waiting for mine. :)
Either yesterday or the day before, not sure as I was away. Tony did have a tracking number for mine.
Nick, what colors (if any) will you paint yours? I am undecided between John Deere and McCormick Deering colors. Leaning towards McCormick colors in honor of my great-grandfather. Although his tractor was without a drop of paint, just rust colored. ;)
I would go with gray/red as well to match a 10-20 or 15-30. I probably won't do any mods to mine... at least not for a long time...

Very nice addition Nick, congrats !
I love the drivebelt/fender solution, looks great :)
Yes, and I must remember to only climb on from the back of the tractor... very dangerous from the side ;) :D :D
-
That's cool. Is the burner inserted from below or next to the steering column?
And an under-side shot showing where it sits

I did just today receive a package from Kevin from UK, the parts maker, who sent those parts nearly the same time as I believe Tony did...

That is a nice looking tractor...of course, now we need to see the video.

That has potential for a lot of mods Nick.

Cool 8c)

I like that, better than i could make also. 8)

I had not previously owned a Pufango engine, but had to have this one. Looks to be a fairly simple build, but Tony Wright finished them a lot faster than I would have finished one :D
I believe two of these made it to Minnesota. And for those who don't know, "Pufango" is short for "Puff-and-go"
