You're 13, and doing this??? Right on! Kudos to you- I absolutely love seeing young'uns learning how to wrench- you're a dying breed. Seems most kids are just too wired in to the technocrap these days.

Agreed, I think lol. Im the only one im my grade that can build something up by myself in my garage in my hole grade, its sad.

Yeah same here all of my freinds dont even know how to build somthing out of metel but you give me a welder and some metel you never know what i will build.

I agree, MurrayMayhem and I are the only ones I know of at my school that actually go outside regularly and work on stuff. I've been on the other side too for a while you couldn't get me off my computer to go out side, but then I cought the fever!

go with the MST-206 ive had both a MST-206 and a 205 i think that the axles are stronger in the 206 maybe its just me but they feel like there alot stronger

i am the only one in my grade to. my brother dosent even do this

I think my brother only like to ride them not build them.
But he will not touch a grinder or welder.

on the age thing I started working on tractors since I was 14 so 2 years doing this and I love doing it and to Jay rod I think the MST205-206 have a slightly differant gearing ratio in them.

Funny you should say that Doc, I am still a child of both worlds... and not that much younger than yourself lol...

Thanks for the support guys btw other than this web site I am not really addicted to like cod or anything in that nature.

UPDATE
I got a pulley from tsc it is a 5'' that fits my mst-205 well it should but it doesn't, I think I might have slag on the imput shaft.

P.S check out my craftsman build...https://www.atltf.com/t2284-90-s-craftsman-rally-trail-mower#26972

Well sadly I think the project is dead I just put it out on the scrap pile next to my buddies atlm that also got scrapped.

What happened to it?

Well it was a mix of things.

1.I got back into the rally
2.I needed parts for the rally
3.I didnt have the time/parts
4.It got boring

So ill leave it up to someone else who got more time and money for this kind of stuff.

So as of now it is a done project.
I already started stripping useful parts off like the seat (which in now on the craftsman rally) and the tires and front axle for another project you guys will see later  [cliffhanger].

Here is the last known pic of the beast.
The seat and springs are on the rally the front axle is for a project you guys will see later..lol.

I wanna see more!!

Well yeah I took the front end off for on the rally (added reinforcements) but yeah it was back in the shop for about an hour.LOL
