| Cool, what's the plan for rear suspension? Are you planning on somehow hinging the transaxle or are you gonna have a separate axle and run drive chains? I figured by how far your axles are sticking out you were probably gonna put the wheels right on them. What's your plan for the front? | |

| I am planing on using the trans-axle as a pivot point for the separate rear axle connected by a swing arm. Where the wheels are sitting is about where they will end up being mounted. The front will be A-arms. I just picked this blaster up yesterday, took the picture right before I left the sellers place. I am probably going to use it for parts if I determine its not worth restoring. There is a lot wrong with it and the whole bottom half is full of water, currently one solid chunk of ice inside it. Having this will make this build much easier. I still have to make custom hubs, the wheels I have came off an UTV and I cant find hubs that will fit them that don't cost $200 a piece.  | |

| Some perspective. Won't actually be able to use this rear swing arm because it's not wide enough, I would need to use an idler sprocket and the drive sprocket is  not in the right position. of course all of that could be fabricated but it's more than I want to do and it would be easier just to use a different one that I have. | |

| Wow, burned so hot the transaxle melted onto the vice. I hate it for your loss. _______________________________________________ Li'l RED my original modified tractor!Forum Admin -- Chat Admin-- Facebook Page Admin ATLTF Facebook Page -- How To Upload PicturesHave a question?

| sorry to see that, it really sucks when something like that happens, but as long as you're ok then it's just a set back not a project killer, i'd check over the frame and parts you have left, see what is salvageable, clean them up and start over, i know it seems like it's a total loss, but it can be saved as long as the frame is ok, i know you'll need a new transaxle and maybe an engine, but a mst will slip right in place of the 801 | |
