Thanks for the support. | |

| With all the playing around I have been doing and hauling trailers that are clearly overloaded, I managed to break my welded transaxle. I took it all apart and found that my welds that I had done with my little flux core welder broke, but I have since gotten a good HTP Mig welder, so I cranked that baby up and spray welded that sucker back together. I'm sure this light weight transaxle will find another place to break, but we'll see. | |

| For all those that might be interested my locked rear trans is still holding up well. I am interested in getting a one different though, this system definitely has it's weak points. I picked up an older craftsman mower a while back and thought of using the trans off of that but that mower works so dang good as an actually lawn mower I cant bring my self to pull it apart. I got it for 25 bucks, from my neighbor who was moving. | |

- Thanks Carshowkid, they have some bite to em' that's for sure. The true test will be when I start to push snow with this machine and the snow plow I built for it.
nice! That will for sure be a test!... Is it hard to make a plow for a tractor? Is there a link I missed on this site??? Cause if I could build one... Then I don't have to buy one for $150-$300 | |

| It was pretty easy to build the plow, I did it in a weekend. I am really excited for the snow this year so I can try this contraption out. I think my biggest problem will be traction so I might have to find a set of chains for it, we'll see though. Thanks | |

| With the added 12v outlet, that make me want more electrical power for brighter lights and things, has anybody ever mounted a vehicle alternator to a mower and whats the best way of doing it? I have a pretty good idea for the brackets, but the electrical is my weak point. Thoughts? | |

- Make like  fearlessfront style pull start and attach an alternator to it. If you still want a pull start put a double pulley on the top.
that is your answer... Or attach it underneath the tractor... But then you risk getting it wet... Or put a pulley and a long rod going to the top of the tractor... (Under dash or something) with a pulley on the top of the rod and put the alternator there... But that would be mostly the same as a pulley on top of the engine | |
