wow... looks good... I will keep my 140 still stock though...the 440 and 450 are enough for me to keep up with. I am amazed how good my 140 H3 is though..

Man, those are cool. I like how you have both "ag" and "industrial" models.

They were fun to build, if you noticed the undercarriage is a smaller versions of the 440.

Love it. Sold my 140 H3 years ago. I have a later 400 now.

How did you do the steering??

On the 110 I used go kart disk brakes and the 140 I used its original drum brakes for steering.

I want one that is really neat where did you get the tracts

I made the tracks out of #80 roller chain and welded 1/2 angle iron to each link then welded 2" x 8" flat bar stock for pads,drilled 5/8 hole in the center and welded 1/4 x 1/2 flat bar for cleats.
I used 15 lbs of welding wire for the 140 project.
