Chopped Up Tractor

Briggs and Stratton 11.5hp engine powered ride on mower. This started off life as an 8hp '83 Westwood Gazelle, I've removed all the cutting gear, shortened it, narrowed it, scaled down all the panel work, fitted a Ferguson TE20 sprung seat, and after the original engine fell to bits during testing fitted a 460cc 11.5hp engine which has been recently rebuilt. It has electric start and starts on the button. The gearing has been modified with equally sized sized pulleys so it goes a bit quicker than it did previously. 5 speed and reverse.

Welcome

I take it that at one point this tractor was much larger? Do you have any 'before' imagery?

I like it "smaller" I have never heard of doing it before I agree with Pro do you have any before pics to show us?

bet it handles a hell of a lot better

I bet it pulls wheelies a lot easier

sadly I don't have a image of this tractor before I started work on it or have any while it was in the build stage, But I have a image of one similar to this before the chopped happened! Yes you could say it is a bit of a whellie machine in every gear apart from reverse for obverse reasons. But here is a similar tractor before.

Too cool man! clean fab work and the rear fenders and seat look killer.

You must not be very tall to fit on this "mini" tractor

Awesome, I love all mini stuff   Good job.

I like that.

Thats awesome!

Probably my favorite mini build on here. Hands down. And that includes my own  

Fantasic- I love it! It's the tractor equivalent of a barstool racer. You got life insurance?  

can we get a pic of you on that little beast it looks awsome i wanna build one now haha
