With all that framing you're adding, surely to god you can find a slick way to relocate your fuel tank and lower the seat.

Also, I suggest finding a way to brace those exhaust pipes up before the vibrations and shocks get to them and end up cracking your cylinder heads...

To have more room between the rear rims and the roll cage i would cut the stock rim down some

Also i plan on lowering the seat as soon as i get a new gas tank so i can relocate it and that way i can build the top part of the cage without it being
so high.
Also the stacks do have supports.

Yeah they blend in with the stacks.

Ahh. Camoflaged. Good. LOL

Yep lol.

When you are done are you going to put anything tractor related back on it (fenders, hood,etc..)?

I plan on making an full engine cage for a hood.
As for tractor related parts none of the origanal part will go back on it mabe a set of trailer fenders.

i dont know if they still have them, but bmi carts had 10" wide aluminum diamond plate fenders for 29.99 on sale

Well i need steel ones so i can weld them on the cage.
But ill check them out.

The aluminum tread plate stuff would look good, but they would be harder to mount. Besides that, most of the BMI stuff is geared towards karts an minibikes- designed to go over tires that are only 15" or 16" in diameter. Put a wee little fender like that over a fullsize car tire, it's gonna look dumb.

I say go with the steel trailer fenders. Cheap, made for larger tires, weldable, etc. Then again, that's exactly what I did... LOL

Yeah i gonna go with the trailer fenders.

Hey guys i got a few better pics of the cage and the whole mower.

Well guys i took rustey out for a romp and desided to make a new trail well the hill was alittle to steep and had alot of loss dirt on it so i went
around the woods and my mower was just about out of gas so i floored it and put the lever all the way fowerd and just went for it and just runnin over all diffrent sizes of logs ran over alot of desint size branches it did spin but i just wiggled the mower and it went over it i did have to get off it once and pick it up over a log the was like 10" wide but overall nothin broke and it handeled it prety good spun alittle but it got thru it.

Today i was thinkin should i change my tires from the 24" car tires to the 33" truck tires you guys tell me should i?

i say do it, but if you do, you should mount your current rear tires on the front to keep it from sitin down to low in the front

Yeah thats what im gonna do.

Do the hub thing I did in the rear haha

Well that is what i was gonna do but my roll cage will be in the way.

Oh that's right. Maybe cut that other side of the Ron off like the one towards the seat? I'd look cleaner

Yeah good idea.
