| I work in a small engine shop and got a john deere sabre from a customer for free cause the wiring was all jacked up. Used it around the shop to move the trailers and mess around with doing wheelies and such.

| Got some bigger tires for the rear 22x11 Knobbys [img]  [/img] Cut up the front axle so it would flex [img]  [/img] This is with stock front tires [img]  [/img] Test fit some bigger tires, gonna take a lot of trimming to make them work with no lift [img]  [/img] Mounted the rear tires there tight [img]  [/img] Next thing I need to do is extend the rear axle shafts and the front spindles to space the tires out. Weld a hitch on the back. Cant wait to ride it again specially after all this | |

| Yeah from what I hear that hydrostatic transaxle is going to burn up, but it hasent yet. Ive pulled a 3/4ton suburban and a boat with that mower and it hasent died yet. Im just going to keep rocking it untill it does kick the bucket. When it does I have a locked up Peerless 820 for it. | |
