I have atv and mower what should I build

Hey new to forum I have been playing with mowers for a while now so I have an arctic cat 250 atv and mtd mower and craftsman lt1000 I want to build something mean out of those but not sure what I want to do any ideas I thought about putting mower body on atv because wheelbases are bout the same size but not sure about how to do front end because handlebars would probably have to go thru hood what do you all think

Come on people give me some suggestions or ideas

take the front suspension off the quad and put it on the mower, allong with the tires. use the craftsman.

I didn't think about that wouldn't be too hard I guess I'll think about it I'll post pics of whatever I do

Do what you want to do. If you wan you could swap in the engine, and rear swing arm/axle if the bike has a solid rear axle. It would be a lot of work. If you ask me I would just keep the 4 wheeler together and sell it if you don't want to ride it.

Just looking for ideas I don't care to do the work I have a few atvs and mowers these are just extras I'm going to build into something atv doesn't have swingarm or straight axle it's independent with cv axles I bought the atv for $100 and of course it needs work so I figured I'll make it into something else

Come on I thought I'd get more ideas than this I also have a Chinese 150 atv I could use it has chain drive and straight axle

Not mad I'm not sure how you take that as me being mad and I understand people have lives but there is a lot of people on here I work alot myself I'm looking for ideas that use the atv not to just sell it people on here have done all sorts of things with mowers but I haven't seen much using atv and was just wondering if people on here had some ideas on it

I would use the atv to put suspension under the tractor, how is up to you. The steering and front end on tractors can always use some help when they are used for something besides mowing grass. I myself have been looking for a cheap donor atv to rob parts from. My plan was to use a chain drive rear axle and swing arm and drive it with a peerless 700.

How would you go about using axle and chain drive with peerless I have a little Chinese atv my daughter has outgrown I could yank chain drive swingarm axle etc off of it it would probably be better If I just robbed parts from it anyways will probably be easier to work with

ATV engine stuffed into the tractor. Leave stock appearing, but beef up the suspension and make a solid rear axle. Would be a pretty simple conversion with a clutch and everything already in the atv engine. All you've gotta do is chain it back to the rear and you've got a real death machine.

I'd try putting the rear suspension from the atv onto the Craftsman. I haven't seen that yet. What type of transmission does the atv have?

atv looks like this?

I thought bout stuffing the Chinese atv engine in it it's a 150 so it's probably small enough and has chain and straight axle and yes that's pretty much what the rear on my arctic cat looks like it's got a 5 speed semi automatic

The rear suspension on my arctic cat is a mix of arctic cat 300 and suzuki quadrunner the arms and shocks are from quadrunner and the rest is arctic cat it's independent suspension like the pic I can post pics of everything tommorow if I can figure out how to from iphone never tried

I figured it out will post pics of what I have to work with tomorrow

I tried and it won't upload pics from phone

The peerless 700 is for chain drive axles. My plan was to make the pivot for the swingarm a jackshaft, and run the 700 to it to drive the rear axle.

Oh ok that's a really good idea I wish I had a 700 I'd try it I have the rest
