Thanks man! I have been busy juggling 3 part time jobs and school so I don't get much time to work on it, but I'm finally making some progress.

Thank you so much

Yeah lowering it will look better. She looks great mit the hood on!

Sweat build but something you should consider is the oil going to one side of the engine

Where? On the frame there is some oil from the last engine, I didn't think this new motor leaked. I will look into it tomorrow though.

I mean like with the engine is at that tilt i t MIT go to one side of engine but still sweat mower

I think he means that the oil will go to the back of the crank case and stop lubrication.

That is what I mint thanks for clarifying your a life saver

k I see, yeah these guys want it lowered so it looks like I will have to lift the coil mounts about 4" so it rides level. I may also add another set of shocks (no springs) the ones I have don't have much shock absorbing power left in them.

You have to post me pics win you get done can't wait

I took it for a spin, it really hauls in 3rd and the 46 ci oppy pulls hard. I'm thinking a centrifugal clutch for the motor driving the transaxle, so I can rev it and have it engage, and I am going to work on the winch belt system and get it running.

I'm in the process of lowering the front end and

So I got a lead on a peerless 820 6 speed. The 3 speed in this doesn't shift worth beans , can hardly get it in second when shifting from first. And it makes some bad sounds, so I've decided to retrofit the 820 into this and build a puller with the old cast iron 3 speed and a horizontal onan oppy that I'm getting.

So I have a big change of plan. I got a sister tractor to this one-a 6216 instead of a 6211. But its identical, so I'm using the rear end off of this on the back of the new tractor an build a gator out of it. I will start a new thread for it. I still havn't gotten the 820 yet, hopefully I can get the guy to answer his phone.

Nice. I've had trouble buying stuff recently too. No one on craigslist gets back to me. I talk to people and try to set something up, then they never get back to me. It's like they don't care if they sell the stuff or not. Oh well. Half the stuff i don't need anyway.

or sometime they sell to someone else and they are to dummy to telling you

yeah, I was actually trying to sell a tractor and the guy wanted to trade two onan engines and an 820 trans for my tractor, and a day before he was supposed to come he stopped answering his phone.

So I got a toro mower from my boss, it was sitting in his cow field, so I drug it home and ripped the 5 speed peerless 700 out of it. I have that 3/4" axle but the thing is too light for this tractor, so I will be having a custom 1" axle made, and it will have a 8" brake disk and a 60tooth sprocket on the axle probably. I think I will use a 5" pulley on this trans and a 5 or 6 on the motor. I think since it is chain drive I am going to attempt to make a swing arm and have rear suspention like quads do. Like I said in my other thread, I have been working 10 hour days 6 days a week and I haven't had much time for this stuff, but I am still thinking about it don't worry lol. At least I made some progress finally.

workin on some stuff, got banned from the shop by my dad, so maybe not so many updates on this till I get to go back. I was welding on a gas tank and he didn't like it.
