| I have a craftsman II i am building right now. It has a 18hp opposed twin, a peerless 915 4 speed, and its rolling on 18x8.50-8 rear and 13x5-6 up front. It has a 7" front pulley and a 6.5" rear pulley. It has a custom front axle and hubs. It has a 6" drop all the way around and sits about 5" from the ground.

| Great start, so far it looks like its done right too, i hate when people think is alright to do 30mph+ with stock gear.... Got and caster on the king pin? That will help in turning a lot. | |

| Most of us usually run 8-10 degrees positive caster. We also run 0 toe, 0 camber, and set the axle up for the ackerman affect.
HERE is a thread regarding everything you may need to set up your front axle. | |

| Ehh, I don't like it like that. I dig the look of the old square body craftsmans. BUT, that is all personal preference I guess. Looks good though! | |
