Budget build murray [2018 Build-Off Entry]

Awesome front bumper!! Is it a bolt on or is it part of the frame?

Never mind, I back tracked and seen how, sorry.

Sweet! Ca'nt wait til it runs + drives!

Ok small update. Have not got much done had a few days of 104 out and dealing with Saharan dust that blew into texas been a little sick but here is a update on some of the things I got done prior.I did pick up a pan seat so time to make a seat spring or possibly buy one. Engine needs rings so I might wait and see if I can find another engine or go ahead and fix this one. Bottom ring fell apart when I took it out the cylinder.

Spindal parts used to make gas peddle


Brake part from 3 wheeler


Final assembly


Gas peddle mouted. Still needs a spring


Foot rest finished


Picked up a pan seat at a sale for $12.


Wheels and hubs painted up


How its sits right now. Also switching to ag tires in the rear

Looking good! The rears are the right direction...

Fronts could go the other way.

I will switch them around. This is the 1st time in a month I have pulled it out of my cramped shed. I also mounted the tank, cut the trans tunnel down some, I dont want to go anymore till I figure the seat out. I also have to rework the rear fenders. I want to complete my build this year so not being over ambitious but in the end want a nice clean off road rig..

Nice pedal. must be a stiff spring.

Looks Really Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking good! Are you keeping the white? Or is that just primer?

Sweet looking murray!  I agree, fronts are backwards.

I think white is the final colour. I like the throttle pedal, looks good.

Thanks on the pedal ! Yep final color is white and the belt guard will probably be black and seat black. Had to take the trip to autozone today to hone out my kohler engine so I took the techumseh also. Did a little parking lot honing to save the trip back to get my rental fee back. Lol its all set for ne rings now

Smart idea... Did ya have a helper or tag-a-long?

Lol, cool idea. How's the bore look now?

LOL, just realized. Cleaner and toilet paper?!

A little of both mightyraze she was really into this task.

Cylinder looks good got a nice cross hatch so the rings should seat good I hope. It was class smooth before.

Yep t.p and pb blaster LMAO!

Proves you dont need the finest of stuff.

I love the new ag tires on the rear and the gas pedal too.  Although the ATC lover in me cries at the sight a little bit.  How much does that spring flex.  It would be easy to just weld it solid.  I think it's a really cool look.

Thanks!! The spring is very solid not sure what its from but has next to no flex. I will give it a good stomping and if needed like Carl said I can always weld it solid. As for the 3wheeler it was a yamaha ytm200 and it was in very bad shape from sitting out side so long.

Welded and painted up my shifter yesterday. Going with a shift drum I had laying around.

Now that's sweet I really like the look. is it tremclad paint?

Cool shifter! The red against the white looks good.

Nice handle choice.  It's always cool when you can make something work for a shifter that was never intended to be a shifter.

So I found this rig on Craigslist.  Are you no longer continuing the project?

Oh come on man, please finish You’ve put so much work into this and you’re so close. I’d hate to see it end up in the wrong hands or in the scrapyard.

Project will continue.. I got into a dirt bike accident and tore the tendons and legements up in my wrist same wrist I use to write with and everything.. The last month + haven't been able to even work. Carl your right I am close but I had a lot more planed for this build. I will do my best to get it finished by deadline
