That looked like a strong door with a weak roof and some re-enforced corners.

Yeah for the roof i doing the X crossmember like im doing for the doors.
And all the coners will have gussets for strenth.

After looking aroud for tires last night i desidesd to get 25x10x12 kenda bear claws.

Good choice, I want to get some of those

Yeah.
There on sale.

the bearclaws are nice, but i want to get me a set of the kenda pathfinders, i like the tread more

Kenda pathfinder are good tires.

Today progress:I got the throttal cabel mounted to the frame just need to hook it up the the carb butterfly and weld the foot pedel to the 3/4 rod im using for a pivot point then paint it.

Tell me what you think?

looks like a solid set up to me, im just kinda partial to a hand throttle set up so i can run seperate break and clutch, with my big feet its hard to fit two pedals on one side lol
the pathfinder tread is like a tread pattern we had on some tires when i was lil and them things never got stuck lol

Yeah my mower is a hydro so i dont have a cluch and i dont use or run brakes so i got the room for a foot throttal.
I still might do a hand throttal see how this setup works.
If the foot pedel is gonna be diffacult to use ill do a hand throttal.

foot throttles work good, i just enjoy the hand throttle cause then i can stretch my legs out and relax lol

Yeah the do.
Thast the good part about hand throttals.

i want to make my own on these two tractors im working on now cause i want something better than a bike handle lol
