Ol Mac Daddy

Been super busy lately so haven't had much time to play. But here is a start of the double transaxle mtd (Ol Mac Daddy. Named it that for my entertainment just to hear my friends call it that) front trans it a speed foote with reverse spun 180 degrees reverse will be disabled. Rear transaxle is a 3 speed with reverse and input pulley goes in reverse to work properly so 15 forward 5 reverse in total. Not sure what pulleys I will be running yet. Will be more of the work horse around the yard and deer stand but by right with that many gears it should haul the mail pretty quick to there will be a clutch between the front trans and motor then debating on chain in the future for between the two transaxles but will be a belt for now with another clutch and a tensioner bolt and won't be hooked to a pedal. We will see how everything goes and will post again when I get more progress and time to work on it inspector was even checking on the project and just started it My daughter lol

Thank you. Left to right would be ol Mac Daddy 86 mtd original 18.5 briggs opposed
twin original pulley on engine and tires exhaust winch are only things done camo craftsman don't have a name set in stone yet 80 something craftsman 17.5 briggs v twin 930 locked transaxle 23x12 r10 rear 23x8r10 tires front if i remember correctly
from a polaris 5.5 pulley on front 5 on rear 29mph and valves start floating going to redo the frame build and build a front axle and start with another frame but same body and fix everything i wish I had done but wanted to play and just kept upgrading and will be better to start from fresh frame
then penny the one that started it all 1968 jc penny original paint witch I love. 4 link front suspension and had a 1983 honda 200es 3 wheeler motor she's not close to being done. I'm going to fully disassemble her and fix all the learning mistakes I made and then clear coat and put back together but my put a 325 polaris motor in her with a reverse gear box if it will work with no more cutting on frame or body. Still need to get around to that
