Junk-TD Ranch king off road cheapster build.

Looking good Interesting drive train setup, I like it!

Won't the redux from both the transmission and rear end make her kinda slow?

Well the tranny is probably around a 2:1 ratio in 3rd gear , and the axle is a 2:1 I just need to put a smaller pulley gear on the axle than what would be normal

Interested where you are going with this. 

Ugh.... woulnt be doing anything for a couple days . Back in the hospital for surgery this morning for a apendisitis .

Sorry to hear that man. I hope the surgery goes smoothly. Get well soon.

Hope you get well soon bud! 

Thanks! Had some amazing painkiller that made feel like I was levitating, some opioid or something lol .

Haha, agreed! Praying for you Bigg!

Hope you get well soon man. Take it easy.

Thanks everybody. Made it through surgery fine, barely can move from the soreness and I'm not allowed to lift more than 8 lbs.not sure how mower modding is go to work well lol. Should be out tomorrow if everything goes to plan.

Take your time, and take it easy.  We don't want you to have long term issues that keep you from your builds.  Glad the surgery went well.

Take er easy man!

I am going to use this old Murray RER tranny plate area to hold the foote . The bolt holes match up and input is in the same spot. I will just strip down the Murray and then slice out the spot I want so it will fit right in the mtd frame and I can weld it right in.

That’s an excellent idea bigas!! I’m gonna have to do that on my speed build, or at least use the old frame as a template

Thanks! I didn't want to mess with making another mounting plate when I already had this thing lying around and there seems to be plenty space to use.

Good idea and it puts that Murray to good use. 

Good idea. I still gotta figure out how I'm making a mounting plate for the trans on the RS

And the engine too lol

Cut out the tranny plate finally. Scrapped the rest .

Welded the frame piece in , and trimmed some junk out of the way, needs more things cut off, and some new holes drilled.

Ooh, shaft driven! This thing will be sick!

The u joint is going bye bye ...

How come?

Oh, so is there gonna be a chain run it down to the pinion shaft on the diff?
