I appreciate the banter, and assure you there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat. My choices for completion at the least will include grade 8 fastners, (those compeled to look up shear and or tensile strength please feel free)[ I personally use the Machinery Handbook], or welding, (with the previously mentioned UNHOOKED welder, so that's a while out also) the extensions to the axle and replacing the hex with a stud/washer/lock nut to set and hold bearing preload. As also stated earlier, I will be moving to the new house and will not be set up for frame modifcation anytime soon. So it will be some time before I provide fodder for further "disc-ution".
Differences, and ideas, are what make groups like this a good place to teach AND learn.

I know all that scientific crap that you guys just blurted out was a foreign language to me! WOW!

I like your idea so far - interested to see what the end result will be. I like the wide tire/rim set up you have, as long as the rest of the tractor is proportioned correctly - they will look slick on it!! Good job! Let your creative mind go wild. I wish I had the tools to allow me to "build" things like this. I have WAY too many ideas for the time and money to execute them!

Boy I'd love to get my hands on that 2072 frame you have with ps, that would be a GREAT starting point for a lot of ideas!



Can't wait for more updates and pictures.

Sub'd, if for nothing more than this statement. At times I've felt a bit south because of how many great ideas that have been shared here that I've stolen for my tractor. But that goes to show just how creative and skilled our members are.

Very excited to see how this plays out. Good luck with the move and congrats on the new home.
