Cool pics - i see you smashed the headlights out- LOL! I bet you got some weird looks at the store there.

At the barn- the blue tractor in the background is the flipper tractor?

Oh yes!! haha people drive by and stare when they realize it's a mower haha. And Yeah I need to really invest n building a bush guard, and yes that the flipper lol. Actually a friend asked me to make him a mower, so I even painted it the blue he wanted lol.

Yeah man the Bigred got stuck in one hole that I just putted through lol...But to be fair I got stuck in another hole that the Bigred just putted through....

Ive had a few looks when i took my modifed tractors down the street and when i ran thru the mudhole back north - the neighbor across the street ( down here ) thought i was crazy .

Usually when i paint stocker tractors- ill paint em the original colors (unless it was an ugly stock color) - really havent painted any modifeds yet- cept for my blue/black 85 craftsman.

here is my mini shitty offroader at work...

I used to have the exact same machine, unfortunately I gave it to my friend who thought it would be neat to cut apart the fiberglass body
Only good thing he did was slap a 12 HP B&S in it. I still know who has it now, I can probly get it back if I really want.

hehe..fun little runabout im taking it with me up to my parent`s farm tomorrow...more rock`s /mud to play in
im still looking for a tractor..but the prices over here are so F@XZ@ high... it costs about the same to get an old craftsman shipped form the us as apposed to buy a tractor here..and there are NO junk yards fore mowers here..

Most those lil cubs here get turned into racing tractors - people slap big v twins on em - never seen one mudded before-

That is just awesome! I'm glad the trans has held up!

Just so you guys know I'm not dead, no tragic mower accidents. I've just been too busy with work to get out, but I managed to get out for a quick rip the other day, here's a couple poser pics (lame lol)

those are some great pics!!!! nice mower! looks like she works hard!

Looks brilliant!

Cool pics ! Yeah ive had extra hours at work, holidays are a commin' ! I got my wizard apart - im waiting for time to get some work done on it - i blame that on my nephew and his yazoo project ...... i need to finish the MTD and start the wizard anyway- then can get back to my boring mower rebuilds.

Nice..., the more i look at it the more i love it.
Those head lights are pretty much like the ones on my simplicity.

Had some retarded rain today, they said we have had our entire month of November rainfall in one storm, so I took the time to get out in the woods to check out the flooding. Close to 2 feet of water in places, my 18" tires went under. Had no trouble going through any, tho Despite being nervous for my boat, I'm looking forward to wheeling tomorrow I hope there's still tons of water!!!!

Sweet, and the belt didn't slip at all?
Mine always would when the belt got wet.

Meh..... Only slips a bit if I splash hard in higher gears, but down in 2nd and 1st it rarely slips. The skid plates help keep the water out.

Thats about how deep the water was in the swamp at the folks last year - my stock agway did amazingly well thru deep water , didnt get stuck or have a belt slip at all, and that was days worth of running thru it . Belt was grabbing so well, even accidentally ran up a tree with it .

I was a little nervous of getting stuck in it, specially after i saw what either looked like a large snake or snapping turtle's head come up out of the water- water was so black at first, you couldnt see the bottom

ive never had belt slippage problems with mine and i go through some deep stuff

Not just a toy, hauled 430 lbs. of brush about 1 km out of the woods, thru some pretty hard trails. Might try to load it down even more next time lol, gotta make a fence around my trailer!
