I decided to re-work one of the Spec Cast 1206 Wheatland fwa open station into a open station 1206 row crop fwa. So far I've removed the stock hitch and replaced it with a Moore's positionable 3 point, Tractor Fab front weight bracket, and moved the axle forward. I plan on retaining the stock wheatland/industrial grill and wheels, for fenders I haven't decided weather to use Ertl or aftermarket fenders but I know I'll have to match the off white spec cast uses on the grill shell.    |

I am thinking about doing a set of aftermarket steps for this one, anyone have thoughts on stock vs aftermarket steps on the left hand side?

Well got the red parts shot red for the most part now and started adding work lights, this old girl isn't afraid of getting dirty after dark Lol    Thinking I'll still add some amber/red fender flashers to the back part of the fenders just inboard of the rear facing 5×7's that and she may be a little loud for a fender radio with that strait pipe so that may get left off. Still have to Fab up and mount the 3 point controls but all in all its getting close, pop the fenders white and paint the details once I'm done drilling holes in them and I'll be set |

With a heat houser that would be the perfect winter time feeder tractor That it would but since my display is mid to late spring I figure it would go good with a plow or other tillage equipment. |

its looking great are you going to change out the front grill from a western to a farmall? here is the one I did from a Speccast for Early Farms. I love the addison of the after market steps, but you should have painted them green it would have been a good conversation piece Good looking piece of work but I'm keeping the wheatland/ industrial grill for now, a old boy up the road has a rowcrop 806 with the Wheatland grill and a ton of lights I think it looks mean, as for the green steps Lol, I found red ones you could buy |
