| The latest lame build from the garage of 1997 murray.... The Craft Quad II. It will be a general romper/mudder/ trail machine. I hope to keep up with quads, so the goal is 35 to 40 mph. It will have a 18hp briggs oppy for the moment, and I will have to figure out a way to change the engine pulley so I can get to that speed, because the engine pulley is bolted to the flywheel. I may have to make my own pulley on the lathe. I will give you guys a list of mods here. -front bumper -rear rack/bumper -front winch -lift front axle 2" -lock rear end -maybe 25" front tires -definitely 22" front tires -foot throttle -750cca battery -maybe shaved heads by .030" -custom exhaust, need ideas. -maybe side bars to keep stickers off my legs -upgraded lighting -25" kenda bearclaw rear tires -MAYBE atv carb so as to avoid oppy flooding/poor running with non adjusible main jet carb. -snorkel, as high as possible under the hood, so it doesn't stick out and look funny. -DIESEL yanmar 8hp clone, 3" exhaust -paint, most likely red and black Here are some more pics.

- What are those springs from on the front axle? Is the axle still held with the center bolt?
They are seat springs from a craftsman. They are held in with a deck linkage spring, and the axle is still held with the center bolt, these just keep it from articulating too far, I had it roll on me on a side hill after I lifted it (cause the axle stops when it hits the frame, and the frame was 2" higher) and they just help stabilize the front end. | |

yeah, they started making them that way on I think 76 and later 3 speed hi/lo transaxles at roper. They shouldn't shear a key lol, but they were a bit of a pain to break loose. Luckily, someone had been in it before and had put never-seize on all the shafts and splines. The input pulley came of easy too, the other one I have I couldn't get it off for the life of me. | |

| So an update, I was driving it and the belt snapped, probably because I had it laying around off some dead mower I drug home, so I went and bought a new belt, and haven't got the chance to put it on. I have been working from 8 to 6 for 6 days a week every week for 4 weeks now so I haven't had much time to do anything to it. I hope to get some square tube and build a rear rack and bumper for it, and then work on paint. | |
