craftsman update 26" polaris wheels

I have a spare set of 4 UTV wheels/rims - 12" rims - two tires are worn with good rims, two tires are like new with rims that had the centers cut out ( badly with a grinder) - we had a yard sale recently, i put " $20 for ALL 4 " on them - only one guy inquired and bitched about the price ( i wasnt going any lower - that was a steal in my book) , but never bot them - he mentioned he might be back later to buy them and i said " theyll be $60 then for all 4" .

I wasnt giving them away, altho i did get them super cheep in a bundle deal of stuff from the PO ( got 15 atv tires and some rims along with a lawntractor for $50) - I still have them out back - ill find something to put them on sometime.

hahahahaha the guys an idiot lol

It amazes me about people sometime - i had a couple old mountain bikes out for $10 each also at the sale ( wanted em gone, shoulda put $20 on em tho) - this guy looked at one and sed hed tell his freind about it and might be back - someone came after he left and bot it and he came back later and was all irratated - im like " Oh well too bad" - if he had put $5 on it to hold it i wouldve - he didnt and lost out.

I was surprised that stuff i thought would sell didnt, and stuff i thought wouldnt literally flew out . Stuff i didnt want i dropped off at the local thrift shop.

ive been considering a solid axle and my buddy has a 750 motorcycle i could snag .... i think they would go nicely in the craftsman ...

that would turn them big tires pretty good the transmsion may not like that big of a tire

thats why i was going to go with a solid axle ... i can get the whole bike for 200.00

In a couple mod projects im going to run 1" straight axles - i bot pillow block berings to mount them to the chassis. Only thing with straight axles is theyll be a bitch to steer .

Straight axles don't bother us too much, steering wise... If it wants to push a little, we just lean forward.

hahaha yesss .... should move pretty good ... just found out the bike im supposed to be getting is shaft drive not chain ....?? hhmm ??

Ive seen a guy mount a sprocket to where the wheel mounted - then ran a chain to a straight axle :

Its a scarey looking build tho - i wouldnt drive that thing with the crappy welds and unbraced pieces welded in odd angles -

holy crap eh ... the welds arent the best but damn ... its getting me more n more excited to finish this damn thing lol .... thanks for sharing that link .
