Ive mentioned this trailer Im putting fenders on, well heres a picture of the fenderless unit.



Grinding down old weld sucks!

That looks like a really heavily built trailer.  Cool project.

I need a trailer!

@MightyRaze


Last year I traded some work for this exact same trailer.  Mine's an '07 and a little rough around the edges but it's a great size for garden tractors.  Works great for hauling Ol' Red around.

Maybe next year's bonus can get me one. Right now I have pooch medical bills to pay for.

Ugh dogs are pricey to take to the vet.

Especially when you have to get a cancerous tumor removed and wound restitched 2x!!

BTW, here is that worn out pulley from my mower deck on blue!

Yikes! Were you using a sand paper belt? Haha, I bet that made a bit of noise when it let go.

Blue Kevlar belt.

Yeah I was just making a joke... hahaha.

No actually I think they can get quite abrasive.

Could be. I imagine there's a good amount of heat there too when they run for a long time.

I've been kinda eyeing the very shiny spot on my engine pulley on Ol' Red. I've been running a blue kevlar belt since that pulley was put on and haven't really put a ton of hours on Ol' Red. I should periodically check it for ledge wear. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on these pulleys.

Yeah... Oh and happy B day Carl.  

Thanks @MightyRaze

This is a cool old mower I found on craigslist, but I can get a craftsman with an 820 from my new bud for fixing his engines. But still it's a cool mower https://wichita.craigslist.org/grd/d/craftsman-16-hp-garden-tractor/6564672095.html

Kinda looks mtd...

This is an mtd..... It's the guys I got the 820 from.

That one in the ad is a Craftsman GT. Looks to maybe have the 122419x transaxle as well.

I like it, but the other craftsman I am going to get sometime is cheaper and I am in love with 820s now lol....and the 2300s too .

The 633A110 3 speed with varidrive I think.

Oh yeah? Interesting, I had never heard of such a thing. Now that you mention it though Mighty there doesn't appear to be a hi/low range handle, so you're probably right.

I brought home this hunk of junk today. Two good things I noticed are the 12 hp flat head Briggs and the gas cap that fit my wheel horse perfectly. Oil drain cap is missing but the motor does move a little bit by hand. It has a five speed spicer which I don’t know if it’s worth putting in my John Deere or not. This tractor practically has no frame so it’s definitely not worth building to me.

I think spicers get a really bad rap. I'd put it in your John Deere, do an oil swap on it, and just not put too high of a ratio on it. Maybe a 1-1.

spicers are better than hydros! just keep it around 12 mph.

I think i have a spicer in my craftsman. it has held up very well.
