My Grandfather's first tractor was one that he built back in the fourties (I think). He built it using a Ford flathead V8 and two truck transmissions. Dad said that he went to Sears & Roebuck and bought the biggest tractor tires that they had to put the horsepower to the ground. Dad claimed that it could reach 45mph but that you wouldn't want to. In the seventies, when I was old enough to know what he was talking about, Dad took me to the farm to show me the 'Doodlebug' as he called it. It had been abandoned for about thirty years and only about two feet of the chassis was still above-ground. Sure would be fun to try to bring it back from the dead. It's probably a Toyota now.
