| You can pick up bolt in valve stems from the auto parts store .
Rims probably arent wide enough for those tires- most likely the reason they dont sit correctly. I put a set of smaller tires on my stock MTD rims using tubes - they sit perfectly fine . | |

| Stock they come with a bracket that bolts under the battery tray to hold the belt on the back pulley - looks like yours are missing- just make up a couple belt retainers and it should work fine. | |

Not even a 4x4 ATV? Nope not even an ATV! Some guy already offered but my tractor can go threw actually more than a 4 wheeler! My brother took his 4x4 honda and he got it stuck and i had to drag him out with my tractor! And the tractor is cheaper and easier to repair. I can take anything and repair it on that monster. Its better on gas and its alot funner. goes pretty fast too! Its pretty much asking a parent if thed trade there kid for a dog. hahaha | |

| i agree- my nephew has a ATV - im like- "phhhfft - my agway can go more places then that and its stock" .
I have an 'ATV ' - that lil razor one - someday ill fiddle with it, see if i can mount a motor and lawntractor sheetmetal on it - be easier then modding the original plastic. | |

Yeah, I guess I'll sell or trade anything for the rite about of money or a better trade. Anything but a kid ofcourse! I'd sell any of my mowers for $150 bucks if someone wanted one. haha | |

| Im not sure if id sell any of my modded tractors when i get sick of em - Id have to make a double reciept saying 'as is' and im not responsible if anything happens while theyre riding it- to many people are sue happy with todays crappy economy . Might be easier to part em out .

| Id run the lights to a separate switch - and direct to the battery. Running it off the motor will make it brighten and dull with the revs- if worried about leaving it on, they make lighted toggle/rocker switches so can easily see it on.
Id find some LED headlights- theyre way brighter and last longer then normal bulbs. | |

| yes same with mine 2 wires coming out, and it smokes when hooked up so.. i dont have a clue! got a new belt for it and new back pully running a 4.5 inch on rear and stock 3 inch on front. and ha finally it can bring the trailer where its been in the last while by itself not pulled by the truck! im still deciding colors for it.. thats why paints all effed up lol ! might keep back john deere green and do the side steps yellow leave hood the way it is and paint frame and dash shiny black and the rims yellow too, also going to change the colour of the engine shroud its currently red its a 12.5 ohv Ic GOLD im gunna paint it yellow and paint the front grill john deere yellow also!** i think ALSO need ideas for the exhaust i bought a 90degree for it so i could use the tires on it bc it would hit with the exhaust so now the exhaust is pointed down. straight piped. NEED ideas, or i can leave it like that also! | |
