Husqvarna LT 130 MUD mower

I am doing mods on my mower and I was wondering if any one else has a Husqvarna LT 130?
If you do please leave suggestions on how to make it a better off road/mudder.

Cool build! I'd support that stack so it doesn't break off the bolts in the exhaust. I'd put the fenders back in the stock location too, and put the hood back on. You don't want a mower with no hood to comeback over on you, it sucks.

I do have a hood, just after the picture a drilled a hole in the hood for the stack to fit on it and I am planning on putting a stack support on it. In the picture you cant really see but i have a very solid homemade bumper on it but thank you anyways.

Sweet build man, that bumper looks solid. You could always put some rear tires on the front or just bigger rubber on the existing rim. I believe Fearlessfront has a video on youtube on how to modify the front spindles to fit the rear tires.

Thanks Diezelfuel. I am planing on putting more agressive tires on the back and putting the back tires on the front.

just a few little minor mods.
1. back bumper is very solid
2. little rack to strap stuff down on a romp
3. key chain bolted to mower so key doesn't get lost in the mud

Nice rear bumper! I need to fab one up on the MTD, dont wanna have to use the rear fenders anymore hahaha. Smart idea with the key as well, it would suck to have look for that in a big mud puddle. Haha.

Looking good man!

Liking the bumper! I should do something like that to MUTT.

How do you guys lock your differentials?
I think this is the best way to do it but I wanted your opinion.

Nice bumper, I would go with a doc locker setup if you can from what I hear that's the way to go, although fearlessfront definitely knows his stuff too. lol
Doc locker 2.0

is this a good idea? I was looking around youtube today and came across FearlessFront's video.
I am thinking about making this for my mower.

Does this tractor have a square hood like Fearlesses rock crawler? It looks to have the same type of fenders. Nice rear bumper man! I need one for my Westwood

this is the hood its not exactly square.

I finally locked my trans axle. I was going to try to make a doc locker 2.0 but I couldn't seem to find the supplies and materials that I needed in my town. There was nothing to make it out of so finally I just decided to just simply give up an weld it. I put down some very hot welds on the spider gear it tuned out to be a very simple lock and I am just praying for it to last a while.
Here is a picture of the only part that I modified
(notice that this is not my picture and it is off Fearless Front's video because my hands were to greasy to take a picture )

If you have the skills, do it! Fearlessfront's has lasted a long time.

BTW, thank you for crediting the image.

My welds turned out pretty good I find. They look solid enough to last a few romps lol, thanks.

nice work so far, jump on youtube and check out Hicklife custom's channel, and the bouncer walk around video, he has some nice barwork and a fabbed bonnet that looks the ducks guts. just a suggestion.

I know its a small little thing but I am very busy this week but I thought I would share to keep this conversation going.
