craftsman ralley/mud mower "bad moon rising"

Oh, sounds interesting. I look forward to seeing it!

Leaf springs must be the in thing right now. I was looking into a pair for my build. Can't wait to see what you're concocting.

This is a very interesting build, can't wait to see what you come up with on that front end.

Hopefully going to get shot done on this this weekend, borrowing a welder to finish most of it up, maybe have it moving this weekend, probably not, it ain't getting the opportunity anymore, I got my hands on a 16 hp vanguard so that's going in it, for right now it will have a 5" engine pulley to a 6" tyranny pully, we'll hopefully have progress soon

Thus is my dash so far

Looks pretty good, like that kinda metal. I'd put some on the footrests too, make it easier to keep your grip.

Awesome dash!! I love the look of diamond plate.

I did it like that so it wouldn't have all the wholes and slots from the deck engagement lever and all, and I think I've got enough to do the footboardsame

It did make it look nice. Great job.

Looks really good, is that aluminium diamond plate?

Yea, I had a ruined tool box so I use it for parts and such

Well this is what I have done so far, just got on with another millwright crew so I'm gone a lot and ain't got much time to work on it

Looking really good, what kinda tires are those?

Its blackwaters

I think I'm going to redo my front end design , my buddy has a few atvs I can yank parts off of. I'm thinking of splicing the a arms onto it

That would be cool to see. I wished I had a truck at the time.... someone was dumping off 2 of those crappy chinese 4 wheelers at the scrap yard. Would have been great to rob the suspension off of em.

I got two crappy atvs for free! and just parted them out .

The atv swing arm idea is out for now, but don't worry I've still got tricks up my sleeve, started getting the engine ready to do in and started the wiring today, gone take the tyranny to work sometime soon and weld the diff, with my idea for a solid axle and going to do direct steering

Going to try to get her running tomorrow, probably not drivig, but the engine running

It's been cold and raining all day so I said to he'll with it for now lol

To hell with it. The motor is getting put on today no matter how cold it is, the only other foreseeable problem is I don't think I have the right belt lol

Maybe not, got called into work at 5 this morning, don't know what time I'm getting off

That stinks. But hey a $ is a $.

Exactly, looking like I won't get off to 5 or 6

Well the engine is in, but I don't think I'm a get it fired up today

Well it's running and running good, other than a sticking float in the bowl of the carb
