I sure like your line of thinking--one tractor for pride and show, the other completely for fun. I've had the same idea for nearly two decades. I want to get a small Ford like the 8n, put a big chromed V-8 in it, with chromed headers angling out and upward like dragsters. Of course the tractor would have BIG wide tires front and rear. In the 1970s, the Goodyear tire dealer in Salina, KS had such a Ford with only tire modifications. Think of flotation tires like the big spray rigs use. I've got a picture with my little girl standing beside it. The dealer said he used it in parades and to catch the eye of customers driving by. Biggest problem with it was that the larger tires really made it too fast for parade speed. Yes sir, take that "H" and have some fun. I'll expect to see it in the Daryl Starbird car show in Wichita next year.
