http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabal_minor There called palmeto bushes. We have them up here to, I've seen woods where there was nothing but them under all the trees. They hurt like hell if you gotta walk through them to lol. | |

Actually I do. Size of your average shrubbery but classified as a palm tree of a sort. Some properties in the Phoenix (Az) metro area had them. Same with New Mexico. Cool idea there ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

| Got some work on the John Deere (MTD) I didn't like how it nose dived even with the 16in tires in the front, so I decided to do something about it... Now, the rear has a 3 1/2 in lift block (a 2x4 pressure treated block lol) and the inch taller front tires added a half inch to the front so technically I needed 3 inches in the front to level it out. With four inches difference in tires considering. So I went with a 2inch lift because now I should be able to run 16s or 18s in the front without to much lean in either direction here's some pics ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image14](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image14.jpg) ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image15](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image15.jpg) ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image16](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image16.jpg) ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image17](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image17.jpg) Wish all the welds looked like that lol ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image18](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image18.jpg) View of the angle on the steering part ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image19](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image19.jpg) ![]({\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252 {\fonttbl\f0\fnil\fcharset0 ArialMT;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green255\blue255;} \deftab720 \pard\pardeftab720\partightenfactor0 \f0\fs22 \cf2 \cb3 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 \outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 <a href=) https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image20.jpg}" border="0" alt=""/> Some fender mounting hardware ![MTD mudder - Page 2 Image21](https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image21.jpg) Painting them up ![]({\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252 {\fonttbl\f0\fnil\fcharset0 ArialMT;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red0\green0\blue0;\red255\green255\blue255;} \deftab720 \pard\pardeftab720\partightenfactor0 \f0\fs22 \cf2 \cb3 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 \outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 <a href=) https://i.servimg.com/u/f70/18/54/01/72/image22.jpg}" border="0" alt=""/> Alright I know this isn't a truck forum but maybe one of you guys can help me out, just wondering if this is too much angle on the CV axles..

| Are those two little flat plates the only thing holding that front axle in? If so, I might suggest further reinforcement, With regards to 2x4's and other wood fixtures, I strongly suggest upgrading to steel the moment you have the chance. Wood and tractor don't mix well.
Get that stuff sorted out and you're off to the races! | |

Get that stuff sorted out and you're off to the races! Agreed. Maybe bars that come down from the frame to the axle up front day a 45 degree angle. | |

| You can jump on the front end and the rear all day shake it every direction... I'm pretty ruff on it ... I'm extending the front mounts on the tranny but as for the blocks, there stayin because I haven't had a problem with them. Now on the other hand if they break I'll put some steel in there. Also on the front I will be adding a little more support just for good measure thanks for the concern though! Haha | |

| Lol, nothing to be scared of. Just make sure you don't use normal 2x4s... They need to be pressure treated and like top of the line otherwise it would probably split... Either way it's getting a big time upgrade in my opinion. It will be alt better all around tractor without just one forward gear. | |

| You could make a fender shifter. Run a steel tube underneath with a shifter going up. And a bracket going down with a piece connected to the shifter on the tranny. I think junkstar modified a shifter like that on the lifted | |
