New here from indiana

Hey guys im new here im from indiana i have a old 1969 sears craftsman and a johndeere lt100 with a 21hp briggs single and both mowers are hydro both run great and im working on building a budget mud mower ive got 60 bucks to start with and im hoping to score another old craftsman but a manual one i can make into a mud mower (my other on is real nice) i want a squarebodied craftsman with a flathead or ohv single and a manual transmission so i can pully swap it possibly lock the diff and if its worth doing id be willing to take tires from my other mower for the craftsman but idk im rambling too much heres pics

I dont know how to post pictures im on my phone so

Whereabouts in indiana? I bounce between lafayette and Carmel. Welcome to the forum!

I live in roachdale currently

That’s about an hour from me. @diddie is about a half hour the other way too

Hey your invited to party with the mud mowers out here anytimeanytime i got mymy john deere ready to go!

Hey man I’m down. Haspin acres is a blast too, and I’m planning a romp at redbird with a couple buddies which should be pretty close to you

Idk where those are at but ill look em up im working on getting a craftsman 5 or 6 speed so itll be a while before i can do anything

Cool machines, Welcome! There's some videos around here if you search for them. Or on youtube under Haspin atltf meet or something like that. Good luck tracking down a transmission.

Well the thing is i have a freind of my grandpas and the woods of his house are full of old mowers with every part imaginable THOUSANDS of tractors if i need something its not gonna be hard to get it and its too cold here to go over there once its warm im gonna go pick a craftsman and something with a peerless and some good tires and a good motor

Man.... wish I knew someone with a tractor graveyard. :-)

@Budget_gokart I'm jealous!

Lol i wish i knew him sooner

welcome aboard ! like craftsmanquad said i'm also here in Indiana about a half hour east of Carmel if you need anything let me know.

I’m about a half hour from the badlands, I’ve never rode there myself but I know a couple SxS guys that have. I’m down to make a day run out there on a weekend sometime
