this is my Sears 10xl custom I will be building into a off-road work horse type tractor. This build will probaply be done by just going by with the flow and what the budget will allow and see where this ends up going wanting to get some maxxis mud bugs if I can get the money scraped together but at the moment we will probably most likely see some ag tires go on it like some 26x12-12 destone or something like that for power plant we will probably go with a 18hp oppy Briggs. For the front end I am trying to find a junk quad and steal the front suspension off of it if I can find one. Up front for tires I want to put some 22x8-10 Kendas I believe is what they are but not sure I already have them. That is a short overview of this project. I'm sure lots will change as I go thanks for veiwing this thread and let me know what you think. Thanks again. Sorry if this constantly editing thing is getting anoying but I also am going to extend the front nose and front end out further to acomodate the twin and plan on running dual exahust.

By the looks of it, you have some work ahead of you to get that sears running again, but a challenge is always a good thing! Good luck in the build off!

Don't get me wrong it looks sweet, and I like the idea of repowering it, but I'm wondering how you're going to hook the engine to the transmission like that. They way the engine is oriented in that pic, you'd need a 90 degree gearbox to run the transmission; which sadly don't hold up to higher horsepower very well.

The Trying to decide on how to orientate the pipes. Don't really want to cut the hood up to bad. And yes I'm going to run a 90 degree gear box and run gear oil in it. Was thinking about running a cub rear end in it but decided I wanted to try this route and test my luck with it. It's gonna be trial and error.
