Maybe possible front tires? 15x6-6 Carlisle Snow-Hogs. I like these better that the 16'' tall ones..

Nice to see some pics. Seems like Christmas with getting new part for mowers, seance i never get anything new for mine anyways, so its always extra exiting haha. i saw some snow hogs that looked like 18" tall, pretty much the ultimate front tires. maybe i can get my hands on some some time.

Another picture update and stuff.  Redoing my clutch.  My belt really worked me over. Long story short, the original clutch was junk and I built a double pulley one for it.  Pics are a thousand words..

Ordering front tires soon.  Also was playing with bumper placement.

 
Well I got both my bumpers mounted today and yesterday. My tires will be here this coming Friday.  I also made some belt gates (mowron style, sorta).  After that I will just need to finish the wiring when i wired up the oppy it didn't charge. I just need to make a short wire that connects to the stub of one that comes out from the shroud, to the battery side of the solenoid.

Pics of the work will follow in the next post!

Bumper has since been painted black (didn't have at the time)  ^

Let me know what you think!

Ahh I like pictures. Bumpers are great, and the black is nice. Stock exhaust I see, any plans for that?

Very nice, now let's see it rip

I have some GoPro footage.  I will put it up after I finish the tractor itself.

I'm getting the tires today! I also painted the bumpers back to the flat black (I had to go to Wal*Mart LOL).  I also am going to finish the rear belt gate. I also can't forget to hook up my charging wire.

Will I get it done today? Cliffhanger...

nice work!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

My build is completed. I just need to upload some pics, which will be sometime tonight of tomorrow night.

Pics as promised.  Been trail riding and mudding at the trail/ woods area that I ride my dirtbike at.
If you would like to see where I ride at you can check out my buddies dirt bike POV videos here.. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtkZMETzQiRjE1WWFLq4Cfg

If you look carefully you may see that I don't have my brake rod hooked up.  That is because i bent it and had to straighten it out. LOL

Looking good, the flat black is nice, any future plans after the buildoff?

Red- I am currently thinking about switching in the V-Twin out of my old off roader.  I am looking at the wiring and such now.  If I think I can get it in before the build off ends then I will.  So far the wiring looks like a mess so I am in thought about it.

MY BUILD IS COMPLETE!

WAIT I LIED! Well actually I got bored today and DID switch in the V-Twin.  All I need to do Is check my wiring and make sure the fuel pump is still good. THEN I will be done! LOL

Pics will be up tonight or tomorrow.

sounds all good but why did you take the atv axle out and put in the lawn mower trans

Well, long story short.  That project will be going on later when I have adequate room to work.  Right now I have too much space in the shop taken up with my "junk" (that is what everyone BUT me calls it).  So maybe I can move my "junk" up into my barn.  Hopefully that will be coming on in about a year and maybe a half.





I got the V-Twin in like I said.  Here is a picture of the progress.

Just need to finish the wiring. Also found out that you should put allen head bolts in your exhaust on these motors. Long story short, you can't get your wrench in there to put the rear bolts in. LOL  So I think I might have some of those. Didn't want to go home today because I was starting to get nervous about the end of the build off creeping up on me. Hopefully tomorrow is another successful day in the shop.  

Stuff to finish with the motor swap:
-Finish the wiring
-Other two motor mounts
-Exhaust bolts
-Flywheel Shroud (had to take it off due to clearances on other tractor)
-Pulley (needs bolted back on)

Also I named it.  It is now officially dubbed... The Screamin' Demon.  That is because the tranny whines louder than the motor's exhaust! LOL

make a louder exhaust man, the pipes gotsta be louder

Ags should so pretty good compared to the old tires. ever think about slamming the fenders so there like 1/8" off the tire?
