| I'm gonna be using 2 mst-205 and instead of running a longer shaft on the rear transaxle like puppet kicker did I'm gonna put a jack shaft in the middle of the tractor with 2 1inch pillow block bearings and the drive pulley from the engine will be a 5 inch on the engine and jack shaft and the 2 transaxle pulleys on the transaxle will be a 6 inch and the 2 drive pulleys on the jack shaft will be 2 5 inch pulleys because I will be running 25 inch tires and on the front transaxle I will be making my own hubs and will go and buy 2 u joints . Now I have one question and that is on the hubs I will be making should I use 1/4 inch steel 5/16 or 3/8 there will be a peice on the top and the bottom and the u joint in the middle and the axle shaft on one end and a square pillow block bearing on the other end. | |

| It's gonna be quite the project but I think building the hubs will be the hardest part | |

| I like the jackshaft idea too the only thing about it is I have to move the clutch which I was gonna rebuild it anyway but the other thing is I have to have 2 more tensioners but I don't think it will be to bad but for the motor I'm supposed to be getting I think a single cylinder oh Kawasaki | |
