73 sears workhorse/mudder

and its hidden, once I pull the tractor apart to paint it I'll have to clean up the wiring, I'm not a fan of having a bunch of wires running to the battery ( maybe a junction box/block for power and same for ground side )

Nice that the boost setup that tow trucks have.

I'd keep the main connections right on the battery.  Less connections to fail.  You could put in a fuse block for your smaller loads to neaten things up.

@Crazy_Carl , yes exactly I do have it wired straight to the battery, a fuse box would work. I'm running 2 breakers and 2 inline fuses so far

finally got my winch mounted and operating just need to spool some cable

Nice work on the mount!

@Crazy_Carl thanks now I need to test the weld and hang the tractor from a tree lol

teach them early but now it's a game

Good deal! Unstuck that power atv!

they want to take it up the trail and get the quad stuck in mud so they can pull it out with the winch, so it's on charge lol

Are those wires or small pieces of vegetation dangling under your tractor?

@Crazy_Carl that's the winch controller line, I haven't hard wired it yet, I'm going to run both. 2 toggle switches one to power the other so my kids dont destroy my cable.

Nice winch! Do you plan to put different tires on it?

@Double W Cross Ranch Ya once I find some like tractor tread tires, there 25 x 8x12 on the back I think 26x 10 would be better and on the fronts are 22" I would like to stay the same height but skinner

ol sears doing some work around the yard

It's a beaut.... I love suburbans.

Nothing to new, been busy with life and work. ive been collecting parts for the builds more will follow on that. but for now new used boots 26/12/12, and some ag tires( just need to find rims for that set)

Those are some wide Mud Lites!!! Definitely gonna be a big improvment in the traction department.

Great build man! I always liked the way skinny tirea looked on a Sears but those mud lites are XLs. You should have plenty of traction. There alittle worn in the middle so dont be afraid to run them a little bit hire psi. Maybe 10 or 11.

i might fill them with Antifreeze or washerfliud for weight, i have some landscaping to do this spring

i also have a set of these i might run them in the front but if i do that i have to beef up the front.

Oooh those are sweet.  How thick are those?

Well I wouldn't really recomend that. It puts alot more strain on your motor and other components and if you plan on doing any trail riding or mudding all that wheight will not get you anywhere. If you want to have the weight for doing yard work you should get wheel weights you can easily remove. Jusy my opinion. Do what ever you think is best.

I assume these are 23 inch? If you want to run them in the front and you want it to sit level you might have to get/make a new front axle that has straight spindles instead of J spindles.

@mowerjunkie03 thats the plan i have a extra front axle i want to mod, the best thing if i dont like it, i can swap back the oem one and put the other one on frankensears.
@Double W Cross Ranch the mud lites? sidewall is like 9/16 think. the AGs are front tires off a 4x4 kabota

I like the skinny tire look aswell, if i can find some mud lites in 8" ill use them. then these can go one frankensears

oh man they just fit , so beefy. a little rough on hard packed.
