| Have fun sanding if you are trying to take that paint off. We had one of those and sandpaper pretty much just polishes it. That is some super tough paint! | |

| Oh, most of the transaxles I own you have to remove the pulley to take them apart so I would never do that. Plus I use titanium keys so I've never had one shear. | |

| If you intend on going over 15mph I would go with a direct steering setup. Theres no way to get rid of slop in a mower. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

| I wouldn't go so far as to say there is NO way to remove slop from lawnmower steering. We have gotten ours pretty darn tight with simple mods and we are using stock craftsman steering box. I'm personally not a fan of direct steering for off-roading, as I think it is too sudden/twitchy, and gives serious feedback if you hit rocks and stuff. | |

| Looks like my 80's agway - i had planned on off roading it but i went back to stock after i bot my GT murray ( way beefier).
Mine has a 3 speed peerless 600 under it - i had swapped pulleys to gain a lil more then 'geriatric ' speed, but switched it back - the pulley was a bit of a pain, mine has a half moon key holding the pulley on.
All my years of hot rodding around and going thru swamps - ive never broken a pulley key on either trans or motor, and i beat the crap out of them . I know on my agway if the pulley and half moon key wernt set right - it wouldnt mesh correctly.
About the steering, look for obvious worn pieces - in steering links, tie rod, front wheels and spindles - being that old im sure most of the steering is well worn.

| You'll probably want some support on that stack though, if you tip it over, it might break the block. | |

This. Just get some thin round stock or a bolt and weld it onto the hood, and off the front of the stack weld a bolt. Then bend a loop in the round stock off the hood, hook it over the bolt and tighten it with a nut. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) Head Forum Administrator ** Chat Moderator ** Facebook Page AdminATLTF Facebook Page ** Chatbox ** How To Upload Pictures

Looks great! This might be a weird question but what welder did you get? I'm looking to get one this weekend so I can get some of this stuff done I'm just not sure what to get. | |
