More spring header pics? Looks good man. Top speed?

Haha, thanks CQ! She only goes 10mph governed, but I could mess with the rear pulley if I wanted to speed 'er up even more.

Thanks Rich!

Got enough speed now to bounce that hood off?

Haha, most likely. That reminds me I should probably set up some hood pins!

lol

Haha, yeeeaah. Knowing me though I'll probably wait 'til the hood falls off and I run it over to actually do the pins. Hahaha, naw I'll probably do it soon.

I need some coilovers like that for the lt4000. What were they off of?

Hehe, I have no idea. I just found them, freed one of them up, and used 'em.

They remind me of the ones on the front of our F-350, except those are much wider. Might try some less heavy-duty, oh, 'scuz me, SUPER-DUTY truck, or maybe a gator or something.

Or mini truck like an s10 or ranger. See what you can get from a local mechanic. Shocks that are wore out for a car might have the perfect rate for a mower

I think he wants a coil over though, and most cars don't have them.



BACK ON TOPIC!

Yeah coilovers don't bounce and I don't think there is room For struts

Hahaha.

But anyways, put the old Ford away at the end of yesterday:



I wanna say this is the first time she's actually been driven into the shed, that's how long it's been since it was up and running. Haha. Sure is nice to be able to hop on and drive it again!

I like the way our tractors look with a little bit of mud on them.  Not totally covered but enough to show people where we can go.

I thought this tractor had been up and running all along and you've been making improvements to it.  What's going on here?

"thread jack"  That's great man, it's even a Harbor Freight one

Well for the last few months I've just been pushing it back and forth because I was having engine troubles. I started doing that when I changed the upper coilover mounts. It is starting and running fine as of recently though. Altough I was wrong about this being the first time it was driven into the shed now that I think about it, not sure why I thought that. Haha. This is probably the third time it has went in under it's own power.

This is questionable.

Hahaha, well that's an odd unit.

bet it gets lots of use though

A thread jack gets lots of use on this forum, haha.

Ever think about doing some nerf bars/rub rails?

or maybe a hitch to move trailers around the yard

Hmm, nerf bars would actually be really neat. I could probably just run them along the little foot boards like this:



I'll have to look into that, might be pretty nice to have those so I don't get the rear wheels stuck on something. Haha.

Also Bob it does already have a basic lawn tractor drawbar, but it's like 3/16" flat steel so it's actually pretty solid. Haha.

I vote yes!

Yeah it'd probably be pretty cool if I could make it look right. We'll have to see what I come up with.

I want it done tomorrow.. LOL

Yeah it would look good with something like that.

Uh oh, I don't wanna displease the Admin! Haha, yeah I think it would look pretty cool and be functional as well.
