Well after my fomp it confermed what I was thinking. The mud and water or rocks, were flying everywere on the rear fender, and I liked docs idea of a rear fender function, and look. Went to the junkyard, got one fender, and gave it a shot.

MTD off-road romper build. - Page 7 99888511

I cut it in half then got stuck on what I should do. So like and fabricator, I just sat there, staring at it for about 15 minutes. Once you cut, there really isn't any going back. Thought of this first....

MTD off-road romper build. - Page 7 Img_5413

Then flipped it 180 and started cutting, this is what I ended up with in mock-up.... Surprised

Then I started spot welding it on. Burned some paint as expected, when I repaint the stripes will flow down the fenders.

Made a new oil seal, but the axles move around a lot in the case, 1/4", I cant do anything about it. For the things I do (where/how I drive it) posi aint for me. Im going to grab a new axle from the junkyard in a few weeks (3?) im leaving for a while. ill leave that open.
 
Heres my buddies 16.5hp opposed that I got running. I took the carb apart and ran carb-cleaner though all the holes.

I decided that I needed or wanted a hitch. Good pullout point and just to tow stuff. I used a 1 7/8" ball and some bent piece of metal that I cut up and used. This was from a golfcart.
MTD off-road romper build. - Page 7 99841210
I cut that then cut some braces up for support

Works great, not much that can go wrong with it anyways. I wish the piece that the ball that connected to was longer but it was flat and started to bend in a 90 degree angle. just needs paint now

Good idea, ill do that if it breaks off tho. I don't plan on putting a lot of stress on it bc I don't want to break the axle

Well what I need next is a new 4" or 5" pully, not shure what. Im getting it from tractor supply, because I think the stock 3 1/2" vari drive engine pully is what is causing the belt slipping.

Remember those fender extensions?
MTD off-road romper build. - Page 7 Img_5411
Yea, cool paint jobs are cool until you find something you don't like. In rewelding my fender I burned the paint and now im finally redoing the back corners. This is what I got so far.

The original red was shot in cold temp so it didn't stick very good, I sanded it down and reshot it. did 3 coats of each color.
