John Deere Monster

hickfarm · 05-02-2008, 02:48 AM

I have been modding an old AT case that i had laying around. weighs at least 50lbs cause it is steel. Anyways i started modding it a little after Aspire started his mod.

This is my first major mod so i am kind of rushing through it. I am not completely done, but this what i have so far.

No i am not trying to get bandwidth to my blog, just is easier to link to it then have to post all the pics and such here.

Tell me what u think. Also i am planning on putting perforated metal in the tractor cut out and a 120mm fan in the big tire, since i cut it out to be that size.

Looks nice, Hick. I like it. Definitely not something anyone else has done. Plus, the mod's overall theme is actually evident.

Heh..well done, but man, thats about as redneck as it gets.

I love it ! , now you just need grass inside

I love deere , deep down , well done.

nagasama · 05-02-2008, 11:58 AM

yessir, that is redneck indeed.
but very well done, hickfarm.
the only suggestion that i have is that the front fans should be painted black or green to offset the yellow grille in the front. that would be sick.
and, can you sand a little off the bottom edge of the bottom fan? that may give you enough to fit the top fan on the outside as well. or maybe put them both inside? i think they should be set up the same way, it will probably look better than having one in, and one out. in any event, i am impressed.

**** i like it but im from good ol' kansas

veedubfreak · 05-02-2008, 01:05 PM

BTW, how did you cut the tractor. Or did you have it stamped?

hickfarm · 05-03-2008, 02:17 AM

Hmm i swear i responded to this thread already. Must have not got submitted.

That was just some aluminum fan that i had sitting around. Just put it in for size comparison. I will try and sand it down, but i might run into the fan blades a little to soon.
Also stalin90 can people in Kansas not like John Deere or what?
also i cut it with a dremel and a jigsaw. I wish i could of had it stamped, but that would have cost quite a bit more.

I am planning on painting the John Deere logo on the green panel in yellow also. Then it will be off for a few clear coats.
