| SO, I am looking ahead at next year's build-off. So, I was hoping to get this Tractor last year, but that did not work out. My plan then was to create a RATROD with the tractor. I didn't get it till earlier this summer so I was already full force on the Sasquatch II build. Now, since I will have a HOT-ROD build, I see the rat-rod being redundant and I don't need 2 tractor rods. So, with some poking about building rock climber tractor, and also it appears the church I now attend goes out trail riding once a year. I decided maybe a Rally Trail build. Not a mud build, but for ATV trails and climbing hills. I have an old 110 ATV, that I plan on scabbing the front independent suspension. I am uncertain about the rear of the build. Once I get the Squatch fixed and final video's shot. I'll drag this beast into the Garage for disassembly and cleanup. See where I stand. I do not plan on using any frame beyond the A arms on the front. The wheelbase will be lengthened a bit. It's one of those models that has the "hill" hand brake on the fender! ![Looking ahead, 82/83 Murray GT Img_2202](https://i.servimg.com/u/f11/19/56/75/89/img_2202.jpg) I need to make sure not to get close to that 50% mark. I will need to start some recovery on the transaxle soon as I can. It appears good, but the shifter is frozen. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) | |

| Should be cool, a suspension setup on the rear would definitely be awesome! And not just a swing arm, something like a 5-link with some flex! It might be difficult to figure out the shifter though, and keeping the belt on at all angles... Well better you than me mighty! Hahaha. ![](https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/19/98/54/71/separa13.png) "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* Garden Tractor Collection: Allis B-110 x2, 710, 716, & 410 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic, G10 & 1668 Diesel Swapped - Cub 106, 124 & 1000/149 Frankentractor - Ford 120, LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss - Moto Mower 710-100 | |

| I dont know about rock crawling, as these machines usually have a high center of gravity... and as you know, can suprise you when poppin the clutch! I think a rally type build would be cool however. | |

Cant tell if that was intentional or the best autocorrect fail ever on here, but that's funny | |
