Hey guys,
I purchased a Baker Allis Chalmers 4W305 kit at St Louis this year and I'm just starting to build. I had a IH 2+2 6388 with duals so I cut the wheels off and cut out the interior for the big A/C. I had to grind out some of the Baker casting to make room for the interior, pretty easy and fast. The casting is a bit crude and will require a bit more grinding, filling and sanding,,, but so far I'm happy with how it looks. So here's the basic look of the Beast. Tractor Data shows the only tire available for the 4W305 was 18.4X38, however I like the look of these taller tires which I'm guessing are more like 20.8X42s. I'm also working on a Versatile 145 kit I picked up at the show, hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have both done.
