[/quote] Are the wheels of this from a rototiller? How do they perform?[/quote] @PizzaKitty26 they are real old gt wheels, they did great a little rough on the road i didnt get in the mud much sadly once i upgraded though it was a whole different tractor, i do not recommend those tires unless your in the mud constantly. and my tractor has later lt1000 steering its all metal and real nice my little brother tractor is old style and i wont build those tractors anymore its a big pain to swap so i start with later the chassis and the old tunnel fits over the newer chassis.
also nice color @MightyRaze i might think about painting mine but i kinda like the rat look. and as for the flex i have rolled it more then once lol but so far its been surprisingly stable. Also limiting straps are real nice for when Im beating on it on the streets or in a flatter area, i just wish i had better brakes. Im really thinking about 4 wheel drum/disc brakes from an atv because its really hard to ride with none.
One thing i REALLY need from this tractor is a rear hitch receiver, because of utility. its not mainly used as a toy actually i used the hell out of it for heavy duty work around my property and town. When im using my crane its not stable, so i need to make better limiting straps and a rear hitch for weights. i also badly need to redesign my crane because it has no support from the sides and its very ugly.

I broke everything the race mower went fof it's maiden voyage ending in the carb bowl gasket puking gas and it has been sitting since, and my lt1000 I managed to destroy yet another 6 speed transaxle I'm pretty sure, haven't dug into it yet but it doesn't sit in the frame right anymore and the belt won't stay on and it clunks I also got a sears custom 10 that I'm Honda swapping so if anyone knows how to make the clutch reliable with a 390 lmk

Went to badlands in Attica IN, with the ol craftsman rolled it once too but had an absolute blast took it to the dunes, they had to ask if I was even allowed to go out on the trails with it, lol. I got more attention then anything EVER has at that park if you want to be the center of attention take a mower to badlands lol. Only real fail is the spindles are super bent everything else is mint.

The old free ATV tires did Amazing actually but then again badlands is more like play sand then like you would get at a real dune park didn't even get stuck once! This is this tractor's 2nd trip to an offroad park its pretty ironed out! It has been to haspin where I destroyed the front end now it's been to badlands where I also destroyed the front end lol
