Predator 212 F-350 , a 1985 F-350 chassis powered by 6.5 harbor freight go-kart engine.

Part 1 of the transformation from 1985 F-350 to Keyfarm monster truck.

I had an old Geo and had the clutch pedal bracket pull through the firewall. I had to float the gears to get home. The trick is not to stop lol. I would start it in gear to take off. I had my clutch ho out on my International 9400. I had a load and was only 20 minutes from my customer. It was the pressure plate that went. I ran through a yellow turn red light with a local sitting at the light. I was hopping on the hwy coming out the ports in New Orleans. When i told the cop i couldn't stop because of the clutch shocked him so much that he just handed me back my license and said be careful. Dot and i would've been calling a wrecker. Great show on the fun builds.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

LOL good stories , thanks for watching.

[@DeezNutz61778]

Redbeard's garage put an amr 500 supercharger on his 670. It really improved the power of the v twin. I really like this build.

[@topshopbuildandfabricate24]

I watched Redbeard’s to

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Cool , thanks for the tip. I saw where Vasily put dual carbs on his, it was pretty cool.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

@terryj257 thanks LOL

[@catsbyondrepair]

[@tombrenes2411]

Awesome content Great build series Love all the hard work

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[@AA-tb4ff]

Keep building them like this, I love your videos, always impressed what you can make those tiny motors do

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks 👍

[@JoeBManco]

I've been watching your videos since the Predator powered tractor. This project is so cool.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I'm really looking forward to getting all four tractor tires on it. Thanks for watching

[@kingshawn1857]

I absolutely cannot wait for this build to be in full swing its gonna be awesome

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

👍👍👍

[@sunnyray7819]

That thing is like a Tractor! I am surprised how good that little 212 moves is along.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

It's pretty amazing, I've built 4 of these in different variations and they never cease to amaze. Thanks for watching.

[@user-B1BOOMER]

As all your other projects, this one is cool also ! Maybe the coolest one yet ! Keep them videos coming brother! Watching you from Sand mountain !

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Awesome The newest video is this same truck but with the 5-ft tires on it it's pretty cool Thanks for watching

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures and GOD-BLESS

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Awesome, glad you liked the video. 👍

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Very cool, indeed. Thanks, Chris, from Key farms. Central California watching

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks , good to see you checking in!

[@briancovington5870]

That was really cool man

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks

[@wannabejeeper]

Very cool project! I love low buck stuff like this. Much more relatable. I want to build a tractor out of truck parts something like this. I bet the suspension is very stiff with all that weight taken off. Maybe try junk yard half ton springs?

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

It's kinda strange, I thought it would be super stiff, but I drove up that same hill ( beginning of video) at a 45° angle and amazingly it flexed pretty good and didn't lose traction. I was really surprised.

[@haileysheets]

Can’t wait to see the end result!

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

It's gonna be awesome!

[@Sam-zp5rd]

You really should try a torque converter CVT. Makes a big difference. Had one on a 420cc worked very well

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I haven't had great luck with them, but you never know. Thanks for watching

[@topshopbuildandfabricate24]

I’m really liking Keyfarm channel to

Do you watch cars and camera?

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I have watched several of their past videos.

[@nomex1996]

Hi Chris! I am building a 1949 Willys CJ3A Jeep for my Grandson with the Predator 6.5 HP engine. Couple of questions for you. Where to purchase the sprockets and chain? What type and size clutch and where to purchase it? Thanks!

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

That sounds like a great idea! I source almost all of my parts from eBay, it's pretty easy to find exactly what you need. Search for things like " predator 212 clutch" or "40 chain" or "sprocket 40 chain ". Here is a link to a sprocket I recently purchased. www.ebay.com/itm/223604382078?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5XF_9EFSRMS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=07vVd76cTIS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

B type sprockets already have a hub, you'll have to get the correct bore size " center hole". They also make X series sprockets but those require an X-Series hub and you weld the two together.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Any more questions just make a comment on a video and I'll probably see it

[@REVYMERCENARY]

I wonder if you can swap for a 700CC engine.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I would love to try a 700cc sport bike engine one day.

[@REVYMERCENARY]

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm I saw somebody drop a motorcycle engine in one of them. Awesome

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

There is a young guy on KZbin that has an MG like mine except for his has a sport bike engine It is awesome.

[@REVYMERCENARY]

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm I'm actually thinking about dropping one in a four-door model A ford

[@BeamerTheFox]

this is going to be so awesome, ford frames an suspension is way strong from factory in the f series of the 70s an 80s, this with those wheels is going to really be some machine i cant wait to see where it takes you, there aint no tellin, say blessed never stressed chris we love ya buddy !
