Subject: Hello from a long haired hippie in Maryland Thu Jul 02, 2015 1:27 pm
Been watching this site for awhile now and finally got around to becoming Legit. I am dying to do everything but due to wife constraints I have to functional more than modified. I have to 2 craftsman, 1 to build one for parts. I have 1 little question regarding the rules. I am building a modified mower which will also be my daily driver, so to speak. I plan on keeping the mower deck and actually still mowing. Am I going to get boo'ed outta the site. Mods plan on being.. ( subject to time and cash flow ) Stretching the mower to have 2 powered rear axles. Adding 1 foot to front for snowplow mounting and winch for work and blade lifting. I might raise 2", depends on how the pulleys line up. Changing drive pulleys for a little more speed. Upgrading lighting system. Horn and mirrors from a motorcycle. And last on the list for now is a dump truck configuration for the extension on the rear and a stonger tow hitch. May I stay and post progress here? Thanks.

You won't get boo'ed for still mowing with it. I mow with mine, but I take the deck back off when I'm done and put the high speed pulley back on. Some find it interesting I still mow with it.

RULES Mower Decks/ cutting equipment MUST be removed
I saw this rule. I am building a functional hybrid tractor. I would love to build a seperate off-road only toy but due to $$$ and space all my mods have to be functional. Sorry.
