| My latest project, the old fashion two wheel tractor. Built from a tiller. Its got a 6.5 hp motor with a 3 speed tranny (locked) and 22'' tires. It is geared allitle to high right now... in low gear at about quarter throttle it does jogging speed lol. ![Two Wheel Tractor F11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/18/20/12/46/f11.jpg) | |

| Make a chariot style platform to stand that articulates off the tiller. Perfect for tiller racing! Lol | |

| That's a good idea Redline.. I just might do that.
As for the build in the avatar picture, that build I stopped because I figured that since it was a tiller I could use most of the original parts and only have to modify it alittle bit to turn it into a Two wheel tractor.
With the 22in cut turf tires, running almost 0psi and with the locked tranny this thing will go absolutely anywhere. Im gonna be putting together a series of test and obstacles, and steep hill climbs to really put this thing to the test. the frist offroad only two wheel tractor. | |

| So I'm not trying to be rude or snarky or anything, but honestly what is the point of a two wheeled tractor? You can't really ride it, so what do you do with it?

| Well im not exactly sure but they were made for gardening back around 1913 and been around ever since. Its basically a little tractor, They are built to pull, tow, do garden work, and felid work. Pretty much everything a tractor can do just on two wheel and a smaller set up and they were cheaper to buy than an actual tractor.
But the bad part about em is that they are walk behind lol. | |

| there was a slot 1/2" in the back that held a 3/8" bar (to hold the tiller back) with little 10" wheels. it was angled down and forward from the mount, but I turned it around so it angeled backwards and if I leaned against the handlebars it would flex a bit and I could turn. | |

| You should be able to find one, it would be great for mudding because you have the weight of the engine to help you dig. | |

| Build a snow plow and A set of wheels that attatch to the original spikes think that goes into the ground to hold the tiller back, and make it articulated. Then make a pedestal seat on top of those wheels to sit on, and turn it by pushing the handles like you normally do. But a snow and dirt plow would be sick, and should work well as the weight would be in the drive wheels! | |
