Bethie Pond's Baby

Just giving the regulars a heads up. The next custom build is going to be really cool and for someone I never thought I would do a tractor for.

We will be staring on a custom build 753 tricycle for a couple up in Maine in a few weeks. It was interesting to find out the girl that it is for maiden name is Pond. And yes, she is related to Cecil.

This tractor will have the new bolt on tricycle mount that we're going to build so I'll start a topic on it in this section when we do.

Looking forward to this build.

Why don't you come spend a week and we can build it together.

Hmmm some food for thought

I talked to them today and told them I was running a little behind but they are ok with it and are in no hurry, they don't really need it till Spring anyway. The 953 is turning into a lot more work than we thought but it should be done soon if all goes well then I can move back to this one.

The 953 is finally done and it's time to get back to this one that we were supposed to start on the 1st of this month. It's been good but it's been a marathon the past 30 days.

Tomorrow it will be on to the 753 project that we are now calling the Pond Mobile lol. Looks like some new parts will come out of this build like the tricycle kit, the HL-5 headlight kit, and a custom slot hitch mount with a plate on it to mount things to. It will have a removable winch that is mounted on a plate that goes into the slot hitch when it is done. They have a lot of stuff they need to pull up a steep bank.

There will be a lot of cool things on this one for sure.

Here is the beginning of the Pond Mobile as it was after lunch today.

It got tore down this afternoon enough to start figuring the tricycle front end tomorrow.

She is apart. I think I'll take the frame to the welding shop and play around where I have a lot more selection of materials.
