| That will look nice! I don't think I've seen that style of tractor modded into a offroad tractor before. Its probably not going to cost much to do anyways since you have $25 in the parts tractor | |

| I wouldnt hack up the LTV too much- case you ever want to go stock again , it can be raised reletively easy - ill most likely do that with my agway . | |

| Here are some paint ideas!! Let me know what you think! Thanks! Remember the tractor will have atv tires on it! Blue and black with Yamaha stickers Red, black , and silver with Honda stickers Green and black with Artic Cat stickers Orange and black with KTM stickers Or just a restore to make it original with an exhaust stack! | |

| why would you paint it to look like a sirtbike/atv company????? its a tractor not a atv or dirtbike. why would you want to represent some companies that dont even make tractors just makes no sense to me. i say just paint it whatever color you want but either put craftsman on it or no name at all | |

| Looks nice, I like your tires:D The paint scheme looks good on the car but would it look good on your tractor? | |

| We previously built one of those Murrays in the first pic... that has got to be one of the strongest frames ever. Never had to weld any repairs or reinforcements on ours. It survived our buddy, Jordan, for several years and believe me, that is a testament. Among many other feats (and fails), he once jumped a 10 foot wide puddle on a motocross track. Talk about air! Wish we had video of that one! | |

| I like the Ford 'Grabber Blue' with stripes; there's a Mustang near here that's painted that way. Very sharp. FWIW Honda, Yamaha & Cat have all marketed lawn tractors. I vote for Arctic Cat purple! | |

| To mount those large tires up front youll either need custom built spindles or a bolt welded on the end to thread a couple nuts on it - i did the welding trick on my murray .
Those rear tires look like my wooly booger mudders i bot last year for $25 at a flea market - they fit my 4 bolt hubs. | |

| The Spindle is almost Flush with the Rim, dangeroustoys56 was mentioning to weld on a Bolt, Have you Thought of Drilling the Center of the Spingle and Tapping it then Put a Grade 8 Bolt in(With Red LockTight) and a couple Washers? | |
