It’s a 1983 John Deere 214 modified to run like this

Build it from old garden tractors

@@J_Beazy223 this was at Good Evening Ranch, I wish it was my back yard!

@ that looks like a really cool place to traverse

@ we stayed there a day after the TTC was over and had the whole place to ourselves

@@nickreagan3083 thanks man great comment!

The only thing gay is you and your comment

@@1970s-Kawasaki-moto-fan This was the Honey Hole at Good Evening Ranch!

@@1970s-Kawasaki-moto-fan thank you, we had a great time that day!

Sweet kawi F11 in the profile pic man! Looks a whole lot better than mine!

@@1970s-Kawasaki-moto-fan thank you Evan!

@@HellmuthsHotRods I used the 3 bolt hubs for the John Deere 111 820 swap. I bought a set of Wheel Horse 5 lug hubs for it after I broke one of the 3 lug Sears hubs trying to get it off. But the WH 5 lugs are 5 pounds each! So when I bought the little Custom 10 it also had 3 lugs. It’s possible to get them off. You just gotta get them white hot and use a press of some kind. I made a tool to press it off and it worked. There’s a clip of it in the latest Sears video teardown I did. When I broke the first one I used an impact and it wasn’t hot enough. Broke like glass. Otherwise the 3 lugs are just fine. They ain’t gonna break under “normal” use 😄 but I bet some of these guys could break them

@@spudstudios3342 that is Steffens engine, it’s going in his Wheel Horse. I will be getting another Predator 670 for this build

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead ohhh thatll be nice, those sound really good

@ 670 is what’s in my 214 also

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead those seem to be great engines

@@RichieRichOverdrive I can’t wait either 😄 I’m excited

@@RichieRichOverdrive I do feel a little bad about demolishing it But it was fun

@@MightyRaze I want to keep it as simple and light weight as possible. If I can pull off the 4 link front suspension that will add complication to it but should equal out to the weight (or less) than all the stock stuff. I was on the fence about lights but will most likely have them so I can ride at night. Night rides with the guys are my favorite too so I can justify the added weight of that. I’m hoping I can keep the total weight at about 400 pounds. So right now the frame is 85. But I’ll cut off the majority of that battery tray. So it’ll probably be 75 pounds. The transmission is about 60 pounds. The engine will be about 100. The axle and suspension I’ll guess about 25-30. Seat, wheels, tires, misc is unknown. But even if it’s 100 pounds combined it’s still only 365 pounds. I’m gonna be doing a 2.5- 3 gallon spun aluminum fuel tank. I think I’ll make my desired weight. Should be an absolute little hog leg of a tractor. Now if I only had the time and $$$ 😄😅

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead Ah yeah..... time and $$$. I hear ya on that. 😁

Both of my 2300 tractors had a belt guard like that, though i didnt use the one on my sears as i wound up moving the belt and pulleys over towards the frame so i could move the engine over more.

@richierichoverdrive still not sure how I’m gonna mount it, if I’m gonna use the stock(ish) location or if I’m shifting it over more in the center. I took the pulley off the shot up transmission today and removed the shifter handle. Compared the handle to a John Deere one. The Sears one is all pitted up pretty bad. It would be easy to heat up the Deere handle and replicate the shape of the rod. But before I do all that I gotta see how the Deere transmission will mount. One step at a time. I got permission to throw another 670 on the HF card. So once I get that I’ll be mounting it all up and working on the belt system. This build is gonna take a few months I think. But will be well worth the effort

@@blackbulltractorpulling4546 thanks man

@Tennesseemountainhomestead your welcome

@@AbbyNormalGarage thank you! That little 111 turned into a hot rod finally 😄

Well I was raised by Beavis and Butthead in 1993 so

@@1776_Garage thanks! I subbed your channel too and I like the name!

@@TylerHankss I’m an info warrior from way back, thanks brother!

@@spudstudios3342 it’s a great little rig for sure. It’s been so reliable and owes us nothing. It’s plenty of horsepower for him, he doesn’t need big power 😅. Not yet. It hasn’t stalled launching in higher gears either. The Murray engine does though.

@@ChristopherBudesheim thanks Chris I appreciate it!

@@LaneProductions327 thank you! Hickok was one of the first UA-cam channels I watched going back at least 14 years

@@MightyRaze thank you Jerry!

@@MightyRaze I know sometimes deep water and mud is a thing that’ll happen but I cringe every time thinking of water and mud getting all up inside and between joints/ transmissions 😄

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead you’re welcome. I’ll be hitting 5-oh in March. lol

@ crazy how time flies. In my young mind 30’s-40’s and beyond was crazy old 😅

@@mamamalone949 yes yes and yes

I shoot a Finnish M39 Mosin Nagant at 01:17:50 into the video 😄

@@AbbyNormalGarage yes it is! And these guys ride just as hard at night too! I got a little taste of it 😅

@@MightyRaze he’s no more cautious on the 111 now that it’s bigger and faster 😅 Happy Thanksgiving!

@@RichieRichOverdrive oh yeah Rich! We had a blast and it’s always a pleasure riding with you!

@@nathanteremchuk8792 no they both still use the dash throttle. It’s so they learn how to use the clutch pedal to control the tractor. They will eventually have foot throttles

@@yosefkugel I did only take the caliper off, the pins stay in tact.

Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! How did you find the video though? It’s set to unlisted. I am waiting to make it public until Redzz02 publishes his video covering the whole event. I guess it shows up somewhere?

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead sorry was just looking at the 214 build and saw it. I’ll keep it to myself.

@ all man, please don’t be sorry about that at all! I was just curious because I didn’t realize it could be found! But it’s been there for almost a month and you’re the first person that has said anything about it😄 I did send the link to a couple people in my family because I thought that’s how it worked. It even says that only people that have the link can view it. But then I heard or read somewhere else that if the video is added to a playlist, then it can be found, and looks like that is accurate! I’m glad you enjoyed that and that you also got a sneak peek on that video😄

@@Rob-p2j thanks Rob!

@@williamsantiago7303 I wish I had the $ for that! I’d love to!

@@dieseldan404 thank you !!

@@jeremiahfiek5495 I’ve heard Redzz02 and Hot lap garage, among other guys say that. And I wholeheartedly believe what they say. They’ve got more experience on these mud mowers than I’ll probably ever have. However, I do want to do a 4 link on the front. It will not have a ton of articulation though. The movement of the axle will be limited by whatever shocks I run, which won’t be very big. I have a couple reasons for the front suspension. First, I noticed that when I rip on my trail with the John Deere, probably approaching over 20 mph it starts getting out of control over minor bumps. Like the front wheels will be off the ground, at the same time the rear tire hits a bump and the tractor comes down slightly off from going straight. Then it wants to jettison off in whatever direction it came down at. It’s not the biggest deal because it hasn’t caused me to crash, yet. But I think if there was at least some suspension it would be more controllable. The other reason is I want the axle to be further forward to lengthen the wheelbase. Hopefully that will help me to not have to cut and lengthen the frame. As for the rear, if I was to put a solid axle and sprocket under it the tractor would not qualify for TTC next time. It needs to retain a tractor transmission. If I put the transmission on a swing arm, with a jack shaft, the shift selector would be going up and down with it. Plus it would most likely cause it to come out of gear.

@Tennesseemountainhomestead i had an idea for mine which has a 633a to hard mount the trans up in the middle and run pulleys from the outputs down to a straight axle... if i can pull that off it'll eliminate shock to the transaxle, can do the taller gearing AFTER the transaxle making shifting easier, also wont be spinning the guts too fast, and the shifter wont bounce. Still the original trans... just moved up to the top of the swingarm. Just another hairbrained idea. Lol

@@jeremiahfiek5495 that’s actually a pretty interesting and cool idea. The only thing I can think negative about it is weight and complexity. If you’re looking to run it at TTC or whatever both of those things definitely come into play.

@@jeremiahfiek5495 yes sir! These things are a ton of fun!

@@yellowgas66 I’m not familiar with the 300 series, does it have the mechanical Ross steering gear box?

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead yes it does!And that may be standard with it, do you know what would help? I know you had talked of changing to the rack. I had also looked at some golf cart steering parts. I don’t golf 🤣, I’m just saying.

@ yes I’m looking at doing a rack and pinion steering on my new Sears build. I still have the Ross steering box in the 214 though. What I did recently was rebuild the steering box. I’ll send the link in a few but I had ordered a new guide pin for it on eBay. The guy who sells them also sends about 20 ball bearings with it. That’s all you need to rebuild the gear box. It was fairly straight forward I did it without watching any videos how. I’m not saying that’s your problem though. I can only imagine the steering and axle you have is very close to or identical to the 200 series. The only issue I have with mine is that the bigger tires I put on it rub the frame when I turn. Otherwise it should steer fairly sharp with stock tires. The pin in the gear box I’m talking about rides in the worm gear on the steering shaft. When it gets worn, issues pop up like sloppy steering. Maybe it’s binding up in the worm gear? Have you ever tightened up the nuts that hold the plate to the side of the box? If so it can be too tight and bind up. If the bearing cages (made of plastic) are messed up the balls might cause issues. I guess the only thing I can think of is a problem with the gear box. It should turn all the way to the point where even the stock tires can rub a little.

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead thanks I think it’s a design issue,I’m a long ways from tire rubbing. I also have a 332 mid 80s steers great but it’s power steering.Thank you for your time. I have a few tractors nothing worth writing home about but fun to play with. I do enjoy watching y’all work on them changing parts and all.thanks again keep up the good work
