MTD off-road romper build.

Well i started mounting all the lights. leds went on the rear fender, modifying the stock wiring kit was easy.




Re-assembling front bug lamps  and hooking them up.

Wire passing thru the light post

Controll pannel has new members

Bug lamps frying everything in sight. Even snow

Just bug lamps on

Leds and bug lamps on

I sooner would've put them behind the mesh in your hood.  Then they won't snap off or get snagged by things as easily.

But ill have to disconnect a wire every time i remove the hood and ill smash em when i roll, and thats happened oone to many times lol

I meant like mount them on the frame like they are but behind the hood instead of in front of it.

Hmm. Well I guess that would look ok but I like em up front more

I bought this at the junkyard from a jacobsen. RAGB F-N-R tranny. kinda a secret plan for this thing as a spring project.


On a side note, i think i found a 633 or something like that axle with 3 bolt hubs on it. cast iron-maybe. Will they work on my 820? they have set scres so it doesnt slide back and fourth. Id need a puller to bring to the junkyard, maybe they will come off.

Cleaned the 820 and got spiders out for fozzy lock.

I think the transaxle I pilfered off a lawnchief at the scrap yard is an 820. A 3 speed...
I got it for a spare incase the one under the craftsman decides to die.

can you get a picture of the mower you got this tranny out of, red?

Murray GT

Another one showed up and i might snatch as a spare tranny or if i dont use it ill sell it.

should get the engine to.........

Interesting. That's a neat little transmission! I didn't realize it had dual outputs. Are the locked or Diff'd?

I'd get it cause I'm a engine/transaxle hoarder, i could probably build like 6 mowers if i still had any frames and the time

unfortunately I don't have the fortune of having that many builds. I'm looking into starting on a scb and my boat this summer

More Pics of this gearbox im cleanin up.


Stripped gear

FFS!


Ill just flop the gears and grind down the teeth on the other one. Some people can guess what im doing with this

Fozzy locked the 820. Now i can slap it all back together and see how this locker works out! Yippie lol

The 633 you found is probably a 1200 like mine, usesthe same spider gears as the 820. Take the wheels off and pound on the back side of the hub and it will some off.. either it will come off or the axle will come with it like one of mine did

I'll probably end up just buy sone new 4x4 hubs

thats probably the better option, but I will vouch, they are some thick effers./.

820 almost together. Not in a rush but glad not to have parts everywhere.


Now plain and simple, im making a winch for my tractor. the foote was a perfect subject for this. Very small and everything checks out in it.
Its going to have its own belt system and run off the engine. Have its own clutch to engage and dis engage. then the chain off it to the axle or jackshaft i made that will hold the spool drum.

This was the speed mowers original axle.

Cut the end of the axle off and fought the sized axle bushing. Got if off with a bfh.

Bazinga! everything apart. obviously need to trim the axle when i figure out mounting points.

Here's moc up. Tranny and jack-shaft will be moved forward a little. Probally moving lights, no biggie. just everything set on there. Original grease zerks works friggin amazing, and i cleaned the axle a little and greased everything and they work flawlessly! I think these will work great concitering the drum will rarely be moving compared to stock.

Looks good red! Is it gonna be cable? Chain? Strap? rope?
