I have a 1988 murray 11/32 that is going to be 4 inches off the ground.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Parts:
36in. solid axle 1 in. diameter
16*6.50* 6 kenda super turf rear tires
stock Goodyear front tires& wheels
peerless 700 5 speed
8 in. disc brake with mechanical caliper
side shift conversion
red headlights and underflow
removed amp meter and hand throttle ( holes have been filled)
custom rear frame portion
custom front end
stock clutch (for now)
direct steering
bike brake gas pedal
straight pipe wit rear dump out
8 horse briggs ( for now, looking for a twin)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________These are all my plans for this mower, am looking for a twin cylinder Briggs but as you guys can probably tall I have 500 dollars into this and 180 man hours of labor into it already.

Red, ATM it looks like there is nothing on it. The tires are probably just sitting there for the picture.

Dude just make sure you get all your steering angles right. I've made a speed/hot rod tractor which is rather twitchy on the steering at anything over 20mph. I wish Id spent more time researching the steering.
