Any ideas for a bumper to mount the winch on? or are you going with just the winch?

Most likely a prerunner type skid plate something to protect the muffler and bounce it up before it hits the front Ibeam's

U need a better looking Grill! That one looks ugly!

Got the base coat on. Hood will end up blue with the cowl white

Hmm... the tractor would be really nice looking with blue or the white!

Yah, Paint went on good, no matter what color it is. You're a way better painter then me. Besides, whatever color you paint it, it will be changed to the wet dirt color anyways, LOL.

Nice job on the paint Neil! I like the blue and white a lot. Good to see it driving too. I had radius arm issues on my little Ford as well when I first build the front end, it's a pretty tricky setup to make work on a lawn tractor. I'm sure you'll get 'er figured out though!

I'm sure you can fix that broken radius arm and strengthen them too. Are you thinking about some steering stops? I thought the front wheels turn a little too far a couple of times and contacted the body too.

Looking good... I am with Carl on the steering stop. Possible the tire got up there and broke that arm off?

Agreed on all points

Nice! The gusset should help things for sure.

Gonna rig up a nice steering setup next?

Going to make what is there work right first. Along with sort out a front skid plate and winch mount.

Looked like a succesful test to me! Nice Job! Looks like you're going to permanently mount your winch next and then tackle the electrical system.

Goal at this point will be stock wiring harness made into race harness. Then switch panel. then mount up the winch and controller.

I wanted a good test run before I moved onto the next video about making the hood and the winch mount and strengthening the front suspension.

Personally I would have mounted that in a different location or removed the switches from the panel and mounted them individually, but what you have here is functionally good. All the switches are close together and in a nice location near the original key switch right where you would want them.

My big thing was a place I could swipe at to hit the engine kill in an instant. The panel makes it stand out and gives something to aim at in an "OH $&@*" moment.

Also keep in mind my builds are based on what I can make a how to video on that others can figure out.
