Sarge offroad/mud mower

not much of a update im still in flordia about 30mins from alabama and well mudqueen messaged me on FB wanting to know if she could drive sarge around while im not there the deal was to take it easy and keep the tank full well first off some hoodrat tried to steal all the wiring off sarge so that had to be fixxed (thanks to my dad) and well from what she told me she went down a hill in he backwoods and smacked a tree and now she says the steering has a lot of play i asked here if anything looked broken she replyed nope just the front axle backmounting plate looked a little bent -_- so when i get home monday ill take pics of this damage and what not im praying that its fixxable if not ill have to find a parts poulan and redo the whole front end (im not paying for it)

your tractor is a 2006 model poulan? I have a 2006 model poulan with a differant style hood. With a hydro Ive tryed to kill but won't die.

I have yet to see a Poulan over here. I know they're around... just haven't seen one. But that reminds me ariens, of someone from facebook on one of the mower groups there, who has a Snapper same year as mine and yet the hoods are different there too. his is even the same model, same rear end, everything. Different hood. *shrugs*

I'm sure that whatever it is, you can fix it. Don't ya just hate it when somebody else wrecks your junk? On separate occasions, my niece drilled my go kart into a tree and kept the throttle pinned, smoking the CVT belt, and my nephew smacked it into my truck, bending the bumper and putting a ding in the truck's center cap. Aaarrrggghh. Worst part was the kart had very powerful hydraulic brakes. No excuse except inexperience. I'm glad the kids weren't hurt (seatbelts), but I much prefer to break my own stuff rather than have somebody do it for me.

well i havnt been able to work on sarge and im thinking about scrapping the engine and my spicer and all the belt drivin stuff and getting a Yanmar 3cyl Diesel with turbocharger and it comes with a 3 speed transmission 1-2-3-N-R but i couldnt find a small enough rear end so i was thinking about getting something like a FNR with 1" axles but i dont think they make FNR's with 1" axles i could get a 820 spin it around and use R as my main gear but in rev ill have 5 speeds 6 including the engines transmisson if anyone else gots anything better then that lol let me know i need some ideas

*coughs* Golf Cart Axle and driveline *coughs*

A yanmar in that thing would be a beast

if i go with the yanmar im keeping the dual side pipes and ill extend the frame to fit the engine and buy another hood and cut it up to fill the gap

well bad news for sarge i didnt plan on doing this in a million years but sarge went to the scrap yard on saterday morning i saved the seat wirign engine shocks/shock tower tires front spindles hood lights tach everything i could save left the bush bar rear atv rack forgot to take off my gas/brake pedals only thing left was my busted/destroyed peerless/spicer hybrid tranny im sorry i forgot to get pics of the carnage it was bad but forgot to take pics but only thing left was hood bushbar rear rack fenders and my side pipes and pedals front axle everything else i kept so stay tuned for my murray widebody millennium edition build (i hope).
