lifted craftsman

thanks, she is to quiet now tho lol

Yeah it not real loud.
Almost sounds like my mower.

well, aint got much done lately, still waitnig on money to buy the coupler, got to put the bigger tires up front, if my rim is 6.5" how tall will a 20x10x8 tire be on it?

Every inch wider your tire is then yoir rim you will get 1/2inch of hieght. Roughly

alright, so they should be around 22", that works out nice, didnt get anything done today, been raining since last night.

aint got any work done, because im still needing parts, however, i got some pics for yall

paint looks nice

thanks

Looks great Richie!

looks sweet!

thanks guys those front tires are only 16"s lol but i am puting 20"s on the rims cause those are the ones that came off the mtd gt, the rims are 6.5 wid, the tires are 10" wide, so they should be 21.5" tires, wich should make the front 1/2 a inch lower than the back

well, my 20" tires wont hold air, so im going to use my 18" ones, proly wont get em on till later on in the week, got alot of crap to do this week

Check out RWD full size GM cars from the late 70's and early 80's. They used a longer coupler with a universal joint ( maybe 2, can't remember) on the underhood section of the steering column/shaft. Should be able to hold up well, assuming lubrication can be taken care of. Found that it'd fit an input shaft for a transaxle with a bit of bevel added to the shaft, and/or some building up of metal for the 'big' end. late 80's gm FWD cars had something similar in the tilt portion of the column, shorter and smaller but also less sturdy.

You could cut the center section out of your pully and weld it to the jack shaft setup.

tried that, but by the time i welded it solid to my liking, it had warped the metal lol, i found a 3 in one on line and ima order it either this week or next

It needs front tires.

lol i know, it has 18" on the front now, but its fine like that, i like it leaning forward a little cause it likes to pop wheelies
