My 99 murray build.

Good job on the pedal. You have the two elements that make a meh-pedal into a good one. A return spring, and a stop. Much better!

Go ahead no patin its made of a bed fram rail. At junk is hard as heck. Thanks for the complaments fellas. And doc. Whats an meh-pedal

"Meh" means "so-so" Or average. Nuttin to write home about.

So he means you turned what can in some cases be just a so-so pedal, into a pretty good pedal just by adding the positive stop! And I agree with him.

Ahhh ok. Well i guess its doc cirtified then. I love it. Its 10 times better than bike brake its silly i didnt upgrade sooner. Been tryin to improve on the lil stuff.

rear suspension for sure. i think i honestly have a way do do rear suspension on my tractor, considering i have a horizontal input shaft, so ill think about it.

I dont know what im going to do i still have to locate parts for both builds. But i really wong to start this new project. Dont know may do both at same time.

alright, then both at the same time. then you can workon one when your waiting on parts for the other!  

Ight boys. Got an update an some pix. And some stuff fixed an whatever. Fixed a bad ideler on the clutch setup. Took a pix of it while i had skid plate off. And pix of exaust and brake componets  enjoyand the exaust has a flang in middel so it can all be removed easly. 


And this is my break setup and its a hand brake made from the threaded end of a craftsman brake linkeg cut down to fit 



And my bumper got spme stuff welded a tow eye and some light mounts onit. 
And thats about it right now. Let. Me know if airs anything else youd like ta see.

Next project is the front axel. I wont to redo the spindles. And try to round up the stuff for rear suspention.

Neat brakes. I haven't seen something like that so I might try it.

I really like it. Works great. Most of the time your hand is on the shifter so it just seamed right to put it there.

Yeah, i tried a hand brake and it doent work to good, because yoy cant get good leverage on it. I noticed a pad lock by the exhaust, whats that about?

Weel its a long sad story. But thankfully its got a good ending. I use to hold my mowers up to work on them with a lil ratchet strap. Well one day my girls ( Aunna 5 an Ayaina 2) was playin out side. And i was workin on my ATLT An it was up by the bumper with strap it was when i was doing another clutch spring. Well i had turned to get something to work on it with an CRASH. I Turned around to see my mower upside down ontop of my baby girl. (At the time about 18 months. The steering wheel was on top of her. And she was hurt bad. 
Broke her femer just below the hip. 
You talk. About wonting to die i did.  It almost killed my wonting to mess with mowers. But 8 weeks latter the cast is off and she is walking the next bay. My baby (now 33 months old is fine an loves to ride daddys mower. Sow now when mower is up its with a chain and locked on where it cant fall. And the girls aint allowed around my shed when im working.

God bless shes all right man. Thats scary stuff, glad more precautions are in place to protect the little ones. Again sorry to hear that

Well got er out and thrashed er alil and thanks to a R pin all this happoned guess ill start the frant axel now.   


Broke draw bar and bent the tierod so more hiem joints for these places.

I wouldn't mind seeing more on that gas pedal.... ive been thinking on mine, I want it more realistic, and I think im going to do the same as yours, just upside down. I really like that idea!

Well, everything I do Iis bolted because I dont have a welder... but I am going to get one...
I just want to see some more pics, closer up, pinned for the pedal, and not the entire tractor... I really like the way this build is turning out! Its really interesting how one person welds their front axle solid, and another person tearsit apart and puts suspension on it! Im in way for suspension, but, im not going to tear the entire front end apart when I do it... I think im going to try to raise the front end a little, to leave room for suspension travel, then for the most part keep it stock from there. Shock towers will be quite hard with the opposed twin under that hood... and the twin is stock!

There are pix of pedal on page 2. I have a welder but it if i wont to chang it is why i bolt it.

Well its been a while but i pulled er out of the back of the shed and started workin on the front axel got it all back together and riding it. Kinda forgot how much fun it is now that i have my atv. Been doin firewood. An i built a log skidder for it that you pull behind it. Ill takes some pix and tell about it if there is enough intrest. and it gets dark so early just aint felt like doin much. But im back. Getting ready for the build off. Well ill let yall know of anyother up dates

Hit the peraid today on my mower it was a raindeer an slay. (Sorta). And i represented ATLTF.Com also.
