If you have a homemade tractor please posts photos. I love the Yankee engineering and old parts that went into building these tractors. They are a real homage to the shade tree mechanics of the 1950-1960's. I have never understood why these tractors don't get more attention from collectors.

Here is one that I used to have.

Don't know a thing about this one. Bought it just like you see it.

I figure its homemade because it has hydraulic brakes. Someone did a fabulous job to say the least.

Built very heavy, even the sheetmetal is not sheetmetal, its much thicker.

I have been thinking about getting old car parts and farm tractor parts and trying to build a homemade tractor. Someday maybe I'll get around to it but too many projects now lol

Then there's the one I built in 2009.

Unfortunately, I wont have this one running this year as time is constraint.

This is my home made tractor.

Ray you can't enter your tractor. A home made tractor is suppose to look home made and yours doesn't. Sorry! :smilewink:

Here's my Custom.

I have one that I saved. Person bought a house this was left on the property. He wanted it gone. I answered the ad to remove it and once I told him of my plans to get it running again he gave it to me along with all its homemade attachments. I am so glad to own it. The builder was a true artist. It has a Speedex frame and rear end. A 3 speed T-96 BW transmission. An Alling-Landers gear reducer. A Bonanza hood and grill. He also built the plow and frame and the dump cart and lawn roller. Here are just a few photos. I got it running and driving. The 8hp Briggs starts right up on one pull.

Call me crazy, but I've toyed with the idea of making a tractor out of the left over MG parts I have laying around. The engine/trans would be a 998cc AH Sprite with a smoothcase trans. I even have a repro MGTD grille that I've saved for it. I was thinking using two transmissions, as some of the vintage GT's use, maybe the rack and pinion steering and rear end from a Midget. Of course it would have to leak oil and have lots of electrical gremlins, or it just wouldn't be British. I told my son of my plans, he's a Nissan tuning specialist, he laughed and said it would probably drive on the wrong side of the garden!
