BKC's Craftsman Build

Hey I Got Another Wire Brush Today For My Grinder Didnt Get The One I Wanted Cause After 5 Hardware Stores They Apparently Dont exist Anymore But I Think It'll Work So I'll try & get Up Early In The Morning & Get The Grille Cleaned & Tack Everything Together & Whenever He Gets Time My Dad Is Gonna Use The Stick Welder on It To Kinda Fill It In Some So It'll Take Very Lil Bondo To Cover The Seems Up & Save Allot Of Wire

Hey This Is Off Subject But I Wonder How Much Power/Torque The Rearend From I Think Its An 830 husqvarna Lawn Tractor Can Handle Its The Side Shaft With Splined Axles & 5 Lug Wheels Not Sure What Type Of Rearend It Is Cant See A Name & Its Not Mine Yet So Dont Want To Take It Apart To Find Out But More Specifically I Wonder If It Could Handle 121Hp & 89Ftlbs & Not Bein Abused Much

ummmmm I don't think it will. however, I know that that is one of the strongest trannys ever built, so it might for a little while.

Ok Thank You I Wanted Something To Limit The Motor & Have Reverse For Car Shows Thank You

i Got The Grille Cleaned & Put It All Back Together So Tomorrow It Can Be Welded Together & Very Happy To Say The Motor Started It Aint Bolted Down So Couldnt Let IT Run But It Did Start

So Gonna Try Somethin I Got A 2 1/2in Pulley For The Rearend Then My Dad Remembered He Made A Pulley In School Thats A 1.in3/4 So Gonna Try That The Lowest I've Went Is 6in. So Dont Know What To Expect But After Figuring Everything It Should Be Every time The Motor Turns once The Rear Wheels Will Make 1 Complete Rotation So 1to1 Engine To Wheels & 1to3 Engine To Rearend

Started Gettin The Hood & Stuff Welded Together & Ran Out Of Wire So As Of now Its Just Kinda Welded Together

That Would Be A Really Good Idea Since I Live 30mins From Town But I Got Some Next Day & Got It Welded Then Remembered There Was Some Wire In My Old Welder But Thanks For The Idea

i Finally Got Time To Work On It Today & Got More Done Than I Was Planning Since It all Went Well But I'll Get Pics Tomorrow I Got The Hood Trimmed & Mounted Then Got The Bolts Out Of The Motor Since The Scrap Yard Cuts Them With A Torch Then Then Happened To Have Some Bolts From A Camry That Fit & Got Lucky & The Kohler Fit The Briggs Bolt Holes On The Craftsman Frame But It's Coming Along Nicely
