Woah woah woah, you should send me the AWS then... hazardous material. I'm certified to dispose of it properly....

HahaHaha ^

A new sheriff is in town.

That looks pretty good. Although, R.I.P. steering stuff. lol

I just rebuilt the steering box.

got to drill and tap the case for brakes, the original bolts snapped off. got the rear tires mounted on hubs, and remouved the safety swiches.

HoW did you rebuild the steering box? I have two that need to be rebuilt..

Got the trans drilled and tapped, got it in the tractor, and now I am getting my shifter to work and getting the belts figured out.

Cool! How long will the belt last?

anyone have a good place to get shift keys? I need them, mine are shot. it would run and drive now but the shift keys are holding me up. I am trading zsmachines for a different set of fenders and some more stuff.

got an mst in this, pulley swapped, and got shifter and other things hooked up. rode it, belt stays on, looks good, and it goes 45 mph. now for bumper and winch!

All done! Except maybe remove the governor and get a new steering box.

 









Had to reinforce the front axle...LOL

Well I decided this will be my build off machine, and I took the mst and opposed out, and I am going to rebuild it with a onan opposed and peerless 1200 tranny, and it will need completely redone to work with the horizontal shaft stuff. It will be a utility/puller, with a top speed of 10 mph. I am also redoing the steering since my craftsman stuff stripped out. Plans are 26" ag tires on the rear, and those 20" in the picture. I will essentially be making a gt out of an lt. so this is all I have now:





the motor is just sitting there, not mounted yet, obviously.

Oh my goodness for myself. This thing is about to get a hole lot better. Probable what I'd do if I had to make another off-roader. Can stick some nasty tires on there.

yeah. like 26" x12"

oooorrrrrrrrrrrrr... it could be a half track. just sayin LOL
