Talk About Anything Thread V3

We know you din' because i havent been banned yet. Slacker

I can take care of that for you! HAHA....

i was wondering what to do with this little john deer 80 rer i have, i was thinking i have 3 options.
1st mount the quad front end i have and make a wheelie machine
2nd the same as 1 but make a mud mower out of it with bigger tires and a welded diff
3rd pull the peerless700 and mount a horizontal shaft engine with a cvt, and solid axle and make a go cart
any opinions or other ideas are welcome

Part it out. RERs are not that cool, and hard work to mod, everything is pretty stuffed together

Option 3 sounds pretty cool!

I vote option 3 and make a mow-kart with it.

Nah don't part it out, RER's are cool and there aren't very many being built. Option 3 sounds the best, maybe lower the frame to keep the centre of gravity down.

Oh. I scrapped and parted out the RER 2 of my buds wanted to build, and then just said they do'nt want to build it anymore once I showed them the list of parts we need....

Happy day late birthday @MatthewD!!!

I also found a 600 for sale on Craigslist but it's 2.5 hrs away.  Darn it.

Shipping? U NEED A 600!

Thanks W!

That got a 600 or a Foote?

That looks like another dynamark frame

Judging by the symmetrical shift pattern, that is in fact a 600.

Yeah looks like a "536.963xx"ish model made by Murray for Sears.

GET THAT MOWER!!!!!!!!!!
It looks soo cool!!

Happy birthday @RichieRichOverdrive

Thanks folks!

Okay, so I'm not a huge fan of CarsandCameras, but I have got to say, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

Those little john deeres have some great frames on them. I regret scrapping the jd 60 I had

I actually like the CarsandCameras guys.... some things are "whatever" but they seem to have some fun projects.  I also enjoyed the 50hp mower build.

Hard to hate something like that, it's pretty cool

As @AllisKidD21 will point over the steering geometry on that thing is hack! It doesn't corner very well.  I'd like to see bigger front tires on it.  I like the frame strengthening they did and I love the power and sound of that motor.  One of my favorite builds cars and cameras has done.  Actually there original mower build is how I discovered their channel.

Love mtds

That’s a little sketch. Fail thread material?
