thanks gents all ok a little bruised but good. i started to pull stumps again, man these tires dig. i think its used more pulling my son out when he is stuck lol
@Crazy_Carl ya its been a bit, busy with work and these Kids atvs but
this summer my plan is to strip down the sears and paint it, make the electrical alot neater, add a volt gauge and integrate a battery disconnect and a few other things
Now that's a beefy looken Sears. I've heard mud lites are excellent for mud mowers. Quads on the other hand not that great. If I ever get my hands on a Sears mud lites are gonna have to go on it. There just mention be lol.

oh man they just fit , so beefy. a little rough on hard packed.
Ya forsure they are. In the mud there great. Plowing snow not so much. I put my old set on with chains. There are a little rough on the road but anything else your golden. Best thing I like about them is the stance the tractor stability is awesome.
I'm not sure if I want to use this engine in this tractor. There is going to be a few mods to make it fit and I like the look of the sears the way it is. But the other one i have i definitely wouldnt feel bad cutting up to make it fit

I'd love to do a new sears build. I know I have 2 of them now, but one is a aged hydro, and I have some sentimental attachment to my ST. 2 into 1 build, or a couple builds? :-)

What might be cool is a shaft drive conversion on a Sears…I’d really be interested in that thread! If you go that route I recommend a sunstrand hydro on a 2500, you get a top speed of 11 mph. That’s the end of my thread jack though lol
@Dr Bob thanks that it does, lol I just wish I had a heated garage. I sold all my extra engines and parts before I moved so now I have to start all over again

I bought my first house and finally have a garage. Its huge, but no heater. Kerosene heaters, electric space heaters, and propane heaters. Gotta got warm up every so often with these Buffalo winters where I am or it gets COLD
