| Those are the best ones to mod out- tear it apart n build it how y want it. Ones that are in great shape sometimes are hard to tear into ( least for me anyway). | |

| i totally agree. when i got my craftsman, it was is great shape with a working mower deck. but i wanted a off road mower but it was hard to dig into something in such good condition. | |

| i joked with my wife about taking a brand new cub cadet zero turn lawntractor ( front engined ones) and make it a racer - i had considered actually going to the local cub dealer n buying a new hood to mount to my murray - just havent gotten around to it yet....
Na- i couldnt chop up a brand new tractor just to mod it- thats why i buy the junkers, even the incomplete ones( better for modding). | |

| I wouldnt like to chop up a new tractor either, unless I had a hell of alot of money going spare. Most of my tractors I get a fix up and sell, some I keep. I really want to get some old ones though | |

I've looked at alot of the new tractors everywhere, and they all are thin metal and cheaply built. I'd rather fully restore an older one then buy a new overpriced pile of sheetmetal. So i'm not sure they'd be good for modding anyway. | |

| Yeah, older stuff is built much better anyway. The only companies that seem to make tractors with any decent amount of strength is AYP, this was a few years ago, so I maybe wrong. I still really want an old tractor to works on, something around the 60's or 70's | |

| Back north i nearly took every tractor i got running down in the mud behind the house - the toro was a lil beast in the mud , the dynamarks were also pretty good in the mud as well- craftsmans stock are allright ( till i blew the muffler apart on my 85- lost all power almost) - murrays are real decent, that agway has gone thru alot more then i expected , rarely getting stuck.
Those 90's widebody murray series would be ultimate for mudding/offroading/speed applications with the c channel frame ( like fearlessfronts) - im so pissed that i junked that one years ago. I have 3 right now, sometimes im tempted to mod the hydro- but its seriously cool to drive tho. | |

| I would have liked a Murray. Would have saved me alot of work building mine from scratch. It was worth it though! | |
