Rolling tool box?

Isn’t this cute? This one is a maybe someday project. The plan is a rear engine rig, using the entire drive train (modified so it will go faster than a crawl) from a snowblower. It would be mounted behind where the rear tires are now. The fenders and console are headed for the Rat Rod so that will be different too. I want to put a big toolbox under the hood. It will be a sort of mobility platform for me to run around the place on.
That rear tire is a front tire from my BX24. I will have two available as soon as I get the new tires mounted on the tractor.



It should have an 8 HP Tecumseh with electric start and manual start if it all works out.

There is a Peerless 700, 5 speed transmission in that drive box on the blower. I have stripped it to just the shell. The little Wards tractor has a Peerless 100 rear axle and I think I can squeeze it into the case where the existing axle was. With the right pulley, it should be just right. It will get welded to the back end of the frame on the tractor, extending it 16” in length.






The drive box stripped:

Inside the drive box:



By installing a smaller pulley, I will get the speed I need and by raising the gearbox slightly (just a matter of drilling new holes) all should fit.

This is the engine:

Looks like this belongs in the ‘Utility’ category. Could someone move it for me please?

Done!

Thanks!
