That's cool but not what I was wanting. Any 400 series 420,430,ect pictures of paint, custom ideas stacks anything outside the box. I enjoy doing things different....

My custom 400 with a Wankel rotary motor from a Madza RX2. Equipped with a turbo from a Corvair Monza Spyder.
You can see it in person at the Springfield show in a few weeks along with a few others I have built. The Geo Deere, Low Ryder, G I Deere, 6 x 4, Aquadeere 2 and maybe Diesel Deere.
Bring your wallet, I might have one or two for sale.

Now that's what I am talking about!!!!!

Dennis, if you scroll through this thread you will see the picture of my PINK 430 that I built as a tribute to my wife. I have a small fortune invested in this tractor but it has been worth every dime to me. I use it on a regular basis and I have had it in two tractor shows this year.

Now that is awesome. Thats just what I was looking for. I was hoping to see some ideas of the 400 series. I figure everyone has rebuilt it back original, but few have changed it up a little. Kimme Deere and Darth VaDeere are awesome examples of what people can create.

I also have a 400 that "belongs" to my son CJ. Since my 430 is painted Chrysler "Panther Pink" he wants his painted Chrysler "Hugger Orange"............that remains to be seen.......lol

Can't wait to see it.

Josh,
Is that a 662. I have one at work that I may want to repurpose. Its in a Jacobsen Tri-King.

 

[miller_time]

thanks chuck. I am in the middle of redoing the deck right now then it will look as good as the tractor. I have put 35 hours on this setup now and I am real happy with it.

erik it is a 722 but the 722 and 662 have the exact same external dimensions so it would fit just the same. its out of a kubota g1900. I had to get a stub shaft out of a Jacobsen for the electric clutch so you should be a step ahead. if you have any questions just ask.

Looks great Josh.
Im going to be putting a diesel into my 400. Its a mitsubishi L3E, rated at 19.9hp. I will be updating the oil cooler, driveshaft, and possible steering.

Any tips in squeezing a engine into the compartment?

Here's my 400 with Army Surplus 4AO32 4 cylinder power plant.
