Lucky for some. I still cant find a part time job! ): that said, I just sorted out a bit of an income, cutting two peoples lawns at £15 each. every 2 weeks. For about an hours work, that seems pretty good to me

I know people here that make a living out of cutting grass, just wait word of mouth advertisement and you can get very busy.


@ Corey123 That thing looks wicked I cant wait to see it complete. And congrats on the job, there hard to find these days.

hey guys an update for all of you watching this wild and crazy build,,,,,,,the stoystown lions club in stoystown pa is having their tractor show this weekend and im goin to unveil the monster there,,,,,,when i get back ill post some pics,,,,,,,but i will post some pics tonight or tomorrow of my progress,,,,the drive system is almost finished, and i got it runnin(i hate safty switches),,,,,,thanx for the veiws and ttyl everyone.

Same as i got on my simplicity!
There great stong running little engines.

I have a few 11HP motors- my oldest 11HP is 28 years old- not bad for an all orignal motor.

I think the oldest one i ever had was a 1982 so i guess mine was 28 too!
Older the better!

Checked out the video too Corey (: having no money really sucks eh

i can relate to the "no money" thing. been out of work due to an injury for 2 1/2 yrs. just finished welding school and am starting my new job next monday. and if it wasn't for all the junk and 'collectibles' i aquired over the years, i woulda grinded to a hault on my ride. plus comin here really helps, too.

I hear you- i havent really planned on staying at my job as long as i have, but the job market sucks- last year i applied at a ton of different places n never herd anything back. Even just for another part time job to fill in on my days off.

During the holidays tho- we're busy as hell- heck i raked in about 55 hours the week of thanksgiving- and normally im lucky to get even 32 hours- once theyre over- itll be back to crappy hours again. Im going to start looking again sometime in jan/feb- just tired of lack of cash.

hey guys quick update on the monster, go to youtube.com/coreystouffer,,,,i tried imbedding the new vid but it failed, ill post dome pics of it maby today or tomorrow

well here she sits now, i have to touch up the stripes:


and heres one of the engine:

damn thats a bright motor :-)

Hey man how you gonna hook up your tranny to the axle? are you gonna run a chain down to the straight axle on the bottom or put the tranny on the bottom and run a drive shaft down?

His transmission is on the ground so he wont need to thats why he ran a shaft for the pulley up under the original tractor frame.

i did the same thing to my motor but i took off the plastic so it has that dirtbike motor look. Looks good tho

What do you mean, Do you have any pictures of the motor? You took the shroud off and painted everything?
