*Update on aluminum tractor listed below*
This was intended to be a show chassis, a lightweight version to carry to events and set up for exhibition. It was never finished. One side rail is hanging up for a pattern. The rear housing itself is in a super stock diesel, and is the only one that will be built this way. I have decided to change some things, mainly the hitch, and another aluminum housing will go in a local SS alcohol tractor for this season. This is not because of any problems, but an attempt to make an even better, stronger, and lighter product.

One day I got a wild hair and decided to build an all aluminum tractor chassis. I am going to be taking pictures and posting here as it progresses. The rear housing represents the majority of the labor involved, and being a prototype, may or may not look exactly like what is offered for sale in the future.
As far as I know, this has never been done before, and am looking forward to seeing it run for the first time. The prototype is already sold, and will be running this summer in a LSS. (no, I can't say who, but it will be in Wisconsin)
