Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build

Weeellll, my brother probably isn't gonna join this here forum... it's not really his thing I guess so I understand. He might change his mind one day but for now since I'm doing most of the work on it I'm gonna have a build thread for his new toy so I can show you guys the project!

For those who dont know, this is what she looked like when we picked it up and after I put the engine in

A mock up with the small rears on the front and my 21" ST's on the rear. We gotta get some wheel barrow rims or something to put the front tires on, but that's not too bad.


And here she is with the rears mounted up!





These original Goodyear turfs will probably end up on the back of the Rat Rod



The tires that will go on the front of the Ford



The 16 pony opposed twin fits in the engine bay quite nicely!







Throttle cable long enough?? Hahaha. I think this thimg is gonna be a real cool build! We're hopefully getting a new starter for it soon and then we can try and fire the big mean oppy! Let me know what ya think!

Looks good! That cable is perfect length to do a foot throttle...lol. Make sure to put the side tins back on. Running without them is risky bidness, I've dropped a valve seat that way. You can get starters about $40 on ebay, at least in 'murca. Meanwhile if you still have the stock drive pulley for your MTD you should be able to use it for a pull start like I did on MUTT.

Where's the gas tank? That's kinda important

Thanks Rich! Yeah that's exactly what I thought about the cable hahaha. We had the head tins and the blower shroud off to blow all the dirt and stuff outta the cooling fins, but we'll put them back on for sure. Carter is getting a starter through his job hopefully. And the fuel tank is probably going behind the engine where the battery would normally sit... hopefully hahaha.

I see some progress there! Looking good!

So if you're gonna have the gas tank there, where ya gonna put the battery?

Whatcha thinkin in terms of pulley swap? Maybe an easy bumper? Lights? Plans man plans!

You know the stock exhaust actually doesn't look too bad in this case. Fits pretty nice along the frame like that.

I agree with mr.moo, it does look decent. Maybe you could cut it open and cut the baffles out or something, thatd sound great I bet!

Yeah I agree with you guys, it doesnt look too bad at all.
Especially like this;


Hahaha. Anyway, I mocked up the fuel tank and the battery today to see how I'm gonna have to do things.







Obviously not gonna work haha. What I'm probably gonna do it mount the battery in the original location, that way I dont have to lengthen the cables from the solenoid. Then I'm going to modify the fenders so that the fuel tank can sit just under the seat. Then I'll just have to get a long piece of fuel line to run to the carb. I would think the fuel pump would be strong enough to pull fuel that far.
We'll have to see I guess!

Fuel pump will definitely pull that far. I like the exhaust tip

Yeah I figured. I gotta convince Garrett to let me leave that exhaust tip like that, I think it looks cool! Haha

LOL, I'd be nervous with the battery up there. I also like the exhaust tip!

Yeah hahaha, I definitely didnt like the idea of it right up against the exhaust! I do like the exhaust, but I think my brother wants duals though haha.

Having duals and them going into one. Them going into one sounds really good. Especially if they go into one big pipe.

Yeah a two into one would be cool, but he would like to have duals that turn into a triple tip pointing upwards just before the fenders. Should look kinda cool actually haha.

Sounds cool.

Yeah hopefully it works out.

Nice tractor man! Did you have to cut the sides of the hood to fit the oppy?

Thanks Matt! Actually the P.O. had cut the hood to fit the oppy already, so I didnt have to make a single cut! Haha.

Cool! I'm looking forward to seeing more progress.

Yeah we got the new starter for it yesterday, so hopefully we can try and get the twin to roar to life soon!

Oppy's sound so sweet.

Yes they do! Haha, especially with a custom exhaust setup.

Well we got the new starter put on the ol' twin today.





And we got 'er to start up!! It runs pretty good considering I didnt clean the carb or plugs or anything hahaha. There's a video of us staring it for the first time on my channel. Got a couple things to work out but we're making it there! Hahaha

That's a purdy starter! Get it started yet?!
