Jd 70 Racer

[jbetts15]

This is a 1971 or 1972 John Deere 70 this tractor came with a tecumseh 7hp and a peerless 3 speed rear end. Some mods l made were l added a peerless 6 speed and a briggs 11hp it has a fuel pump so l'm going to mount the tank under the seat. l also lowers the front and the back don't have any measures yet but l'm going to compare a stock 70 with my lowed 70. Hope you guess enjoy

hey yes, l have a couple of projects on the go but l have done some work to it cents. The motors and wiring is all in. Started working on the steering and belt drive right now it is at school, bent the front spindles so the wheels pointed straight and not toed in, l also picked up a nice set of rims and tires for it bigger and wider now l just have to get the old rims and tires off, but l'm still not sure if l am going to race it or just use it as a toy
