| I think you have a peerless 700 in that. you could go straight axle instead of locking the stock axle. | |

| Nice choke lever! Is it just the picture, or does the front bumper seem way off level? | |

| I think the bumper just looks that way because the front wheels are on a side hill. Looking pretty good. Cool gas pedal, is that a big hinge? Could we see a closer pic of it? | |

| Cool idea with the steering wheel. That throttle cable you could try putting oil right on the spiral coating (whatever you want to call it). It'll soak through. Cable might be a little stiff to use with a pedal, but maybe you'll get it working better. Super stiff retun spring, lol. Looking good. | |

| your right MathewD that pic that you put up is like all craftsman square body's but im not sure if this is a craftsman made by Murray, I don't think theres any such thing, but they possibly could have made a 1-100 line of these | |
