my craftsman

Update my motor blew and i now a have 14.5 ohv on what a difference from the 11 horse flathead ill post a pic soon

I'd say there is a difference lol. Wish i could do a swap like that..

It really made a diffrence if you git a chance do it its awesome if i skip 2nd and go straight to third and dump the clutch it almost flips over backwards lol.

We also went to 14.5 briggs on a couple of tractors, that is one powerful motor. It was competive with my 16-18hp opposed twin, sometimes faster. They tend to eat sparkplugs, change them first if it's not running right. And they blow oil at high rpms.

Yea i had read somewhere on here that they blow oil at high rpms but im going to leave it goverened i want to keep this motor for a while.

looks sweet man.
I see what you mean with the turf tires. have you locked it yet??

sorry if you mentioned doing that.

No its still an open diff i thought about locking it but i didnt want to loose any of my turning radius i go into alot of tight spaces. And the trans axle will prally not last much longer its been jumping in and out of reverse, it might just be a shift key idk yet .Its alot tougher than my friends thought they said it would be dead in a month that was over 2 years ago lol.

awesome. Its always fun proving people wrong on things like that.

id say, search for a cheap or free trans an lock the one you've got when checking that reverse. If it turns out its not what you want no biggy you've got another.

Ive thought about doing that i have another trans axle just needs to be put back together ,its a foote i dont really want to use it cus last time it was in my trctor i broke the reverse chain in 15 min lol the peerless 206 has a gear driven reverse . I dont git to mud much and i havent gotten stuck in a long time so i dont think im going to worry about .

Hey guys its rainy boring day here in MS so i thought i would show you some old photos of my tractor



And here is one i took the other day while giting some limbs up for a neighbor.

sweet! i want a truck bed traler!!!

is that a radio installed in a cooler?? lmao!

The bed on that trailor used to be on my truck lol my dad built the trailor when i was about 9 . And yes the radio is in an ice chest best thing i ever built except my tractor of course lol here is a link to a better photo .

ok who took it lol

have you gotten any pictures of it recently? and do you have a youtube channel about it?

No I dont have any new pics at the momount I dont even have any gas so I can drive it. And I dont have a youtube channel you see I live way out in the country so I have satilite internet and I would go way over my bandwith using posting vids . I hope to git to work on it and drive it soon.

Things i plan to do.

Build a new exhaust
Brake upgrade
Maybe make a new bumper something stronger
Try to make a limited slip differential

I have done partial body lift I lifted the hood 2 inches im unsure if im going to do the fenders.

And thanks for the comment I thought this thread was dead LOL.

It is new but here is one i hadnt posted.

why dont you like the bumper on your tractor now, i was actually thinking of copying your idea of the bumper for my Toro when im done with it

Please use any ideas you like . I dont plan to change the look of it just make it stronger I can bend it up and down by hand . Right know all it does is look good and hold lights, its difficult to make a strong bumper without a welder . And I look forward to seeing your toro.

i want to finish my toro but i need to get my car on the road so the garage is full and the Toro is under 1ft of snow outside the garage door.

I love snow but snow hates Mississippi lol.

lol yeah that sucks, what trans axle do you have in your tractor?

Peerless mst 206 . Its only snowed here 3 times that I remember never lasted more 20 hours.

that would suck? do any people around you own snowmobiles, it would suck for them.

No ive never even seen a snowmobile in person there is no reason for one here its 60 degrese right know lol

i wasnt thinking it would ever snow there:P i just thought i would ask

I wish i could git about 6 inches and keep it for a week or so just so i can play in it on the tractor, its been raining almost non stop so i do have mud.
