| Guess I'll start a build thread on Mutt, my GT3000 I aquired in August. Briggs 18HP Opposed twin, Peerless 820. Mods/additions/swaps so far: -5" to 5" pulley swap -Steering out of a Snapper LT16 (because it was adjustable/tightenable/not so horrible) -26x10-12 Kenda Executioners -3 lug front hubs made from a Snapper LT16 trans -18x6.50-8 Armstong turf fronts, might groove them because there is a lot of tread there -Pull start -40ci heads (on a 42ci block) -16HP main jet/bottom half of carb (stock one was stuck in original carb and got screwed up) -Turned the air box around, now a coldish air intake -Extra clutch spring -Walmart LED headlights (along with stock ones) -Custom Gas+brake pedal -Rear rack made out of Snapper LT16 frame and Hitch -Custom front axle in progress -Crappy looking decent sounding dual exhausts -Snowplow mounts/48" Snowplow -Mirror on left side (so I can watch everybody eating my rooster tails lol) -Dual Batteries -Stainless Steel ball shifter knob In the future I am hoping to Doc-lock the 820 and get some Carlisle Snow Hog fronts

| Yes, when locked down (it locks itself down due to return spring placement/cams over) It helps me remember to pop the brake back when I have it down, you'd have to use the tip of your boot to hit the gas with the brake locked. I always forgot to pop it back with the bike gas pedal, and the oppy didn't give a crap whether it was on or not, she'll just take right off | |

| Nice Craftsman man! That's cool that it has an 820. What's that tractor in the beside the GT in the first pic with the 3hp Briggs? | |

| Cool! It's got some pretty good articulation on the front end. I think you may need to support those exhausts on your Mutt. They might put stress on the block if anything fell or hit them. | |

| Been thinking of making some exhaust supports on it but I dunno. Prolly should, but these mufflers aren't permanent. I'm hoping to go with (when I have the material) either a 2 into 1 setup or dual out the back. | |

| Yeah. You could just run it under the foot boards. I bet it gets some pretty good speed with those executioners on the back! | |

| Well I remember Doc saying they are good for scavenging and I know they sound good so I figured I would do one myself. And it does about 15mph | |

| Time yes, but patience I have not. I had an image in my mind, and I made it as best i could and as fast as I could, as beefy as I could. Lol, it's pretty good. Also, yesterday I made some steering stops out of the chunk of 1/2" round rod I had to cut out of the drag link I had before. Oh yes, she has some beef (with a side of beef and beef on top) | |

| Gotta love the Kenda Executioners, most aggressive non rice paddy tire I've found for them. If you ain't got enough weight on em, they'll dig some pretty good holes. Also, I'm gonna do a skidplate this weekend | |
