That is an impressive build but for doing work around the yard I'd throw a leg over my JD or a trusty suburban 1st and save that murray for fun time after the work is done.
I have an idea for a custom build that after thinking about it would maybe only use the rear fenders off a tractor but that may change before the end of the build, it would be the second build version of my build off entry if ideas prove to work on my build off rig.

Ive seen his build. Its basically an atv with a mower hood and fenders and stuff bolted on. I can say from experience because i have a murray that has the same "chassis" which consists of not a bearing or pushing on the entire thing (except the briggs engine which is surprisingly decent) and stamped sheet metal frame. I am just starting on my build and its insanely overwhelming because there literally is no chassis, i have to make one. So my 1995 murray is currently in peices with me trying to figure out a new Chassis Hitch Winch Hood setup (i have the worlds ugliest one-peice light in the front) Gas pedal (dont really like the bike brake thing...) Pulley system Clutch system Slap shifter conversion Trunk Hubs to mount atv rims and tires And a lot more. If you guys have any ideas i guess i could use them:)
