Nope not me When I was 8, first attempt it was a perfect mig bead. LOL JK.. Took me about 2 years (10 years old) To get decent waves in my bead lol That was with little to no instruction after my pap showed me how to weld.

My dad showed/showing me it definatly worth learning

psss i still dont know how to weld but ive only had to weld once before that was a stick welder lol so well see how my welds go on my build lol

When it warms up but ill get started on it get started on it

I cant update on my tablet so ill just comment i wont promise any of it but in gonna try and put a set of coil overs on the front axle and. Some srearend on the rearend and gonna see about modifing a old rusted but rearend nothn to lose on it

Springs on the rearend dumb autocorrect

Got Started On The Rearend Yesterday I Just Gotta Weld It Maybe Tomorrow Its To Cold Today Im Curious To See How It Works It Was rusted Up So Aint Loosing Anything & Hoping It Makes It Kinda Fast It Should be

got the rearend welded & cut a stuck wheel off an axle so just got to put it together tomorrow & got a set of back wheels from a scrap yard for 40$ tires were about new & got a 11.5hp briggs & 12.5hp kohler so one of them will be the motor that goes on it each motor was 20$ i prolly wont have time tomorrow but i'd like to get the rearend mounted & maybe the front axle to like to see it as a roller

I cant help but notice your mower looks brand new lol kinda like when someone gets a new truck and puts like another 20 grand into it lol I bet its gonna look good

thanks i hope it does But its like an early 2000's but it was garage kept all its life the motor went bad & i got it for free from a neighbor

i think im about 50$ into right now should be around 200$ done hopefully

I Got the old frame cut i took the top of the frame off to sit on my new frame just to make it easy to hook everything up

need progress pics!

sounds good but we need pics!

Yes we need pictues

ill go get u some

heres pics of the frame i got the top on it today & pics of the rearend got to lock the black gear & the 12.5hp kohler im gonna use as long as it runs got it for 20$ at a scrap yard & the back tires i got for it from the same scrap yard for 40$ so right now i'm at about 60$ & if my rearend dont work i got an automatic for 15$ i'll use https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/18/68/45/50/003_310.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/18/68/45/50/004_110.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/18/68/45/50/005_110.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/18/68/45/50/00710.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/18/68/45/50/00810.jpg https://i.servimg.com/u/f57/18/68/45/50/00910.jpg
