| I recently started to build a 1977 sears suburban 18/6. Right now it has a set of 26 inch rear kenda executioners and a 2500# winch and a home built rack. | |

| Backroadbomber thanks i was gonna wait till the 2016 build off but thats to far away from now. I plan on beefing up the motor and trying to squeeze a little more hp out of it and definitely making it more reliable i also plan on making a better front bumper and a tool box for my rack and also going to try to buy new front taller tires if they will fit, also gonna buy some more leds and maybe a light bar. Theres alot of thing that ill probaly do but im just forgeting | |

| Does anybody know of anywhere to get any onan parts. Especially like a carb or fuel pump? I know onan parts are hard to find and expensive if u can find anything. | |

| I used to own an old onan CCK 18hp and parts are really hard to find and incredibly expensive. there aer a few private sellers on the web but most of your luck will be ebay. The guy that has a lot of parts online isnt always on his site so its kinda useless. good luck, just my two cents, others may have better more hopeful answers lol. | |

| You cant really see in that last pic but ever since i put the 26 inch rear tires on it. It sets way forward and just makes it look a little weird. What I would usally do is put 18 inch tires upfront but i cant do that on this becuase the onan sits so far to the left that i wont be able to clear the tires. So im going to try to drop the front axle 2 inches only thing im trying to think about is steering | |

| Ive been.looking at some projects on here and ive been really liking the idea of adding a suspension to my front axle after I lift it i'm defintly atleast adding some shocks also I have to figure out a smaller gas tank so I can raise my rear fenders which I had to take off when put on my rear tires and after that i'm gonna build a little bit better looking and better functioning rear rack | |

| Alright so it's been a long time since I've posted anything on here so I ended up buying a set of old Jd 18inch rear tires that I mounted up on my stock rim so the tractor would sit more level. Also I got rid of the ugly rear rack and found a way to bolt on my rear fenders again. | |
