Craftsman GT3000 "MUTT" Part II

I really like that Voltmeter Idea! I now need 1 for my Widebody!!!

I'd recommend getting one in an already waterproof housing so you don't have to go through the trouble i did to put mine in lol.

Yes, I will buy me 1 that's already waterproof and everything, ready to throw in..

Today i realized what you get when you don't fix something that's been cracked for a good while. Oh well.


The clutch needs a stiffer spring; ever since i fixed my pulley alignment it's slipped in water in any gear above first.

Nice ride through the deep water!!

Nice action shot and props to the person who got in the water and took that picture.

I saw the video on Instagram. You went through. that no problem. Executioners are really something. I bet those tall skinny fronts help alot to. My fronts just sink in.

Yeah the only problem i had was belt slip. The bottom of that puddle isn't all that sloppy either so it's not really that hard to go through.

Welded up the rack and made a latch to hold it down out of some stainless steel rod.

Put mutt to work yesterday pulling a wagon that's probably heavier than Mutt itself, and dad happened to catch it on video


Also my shift keys are about fried lmao, skipping is getting worse

So this thread has been cut in two? Without notifying me?

Try filing the insides of the gear that the shift keys slide into. Kinda re cut that angle ya know?

I probably won't even bother with that, i have a whole trans i need to put together, plus it'll have a straight axle lol

Nice! What size fronts and rears are you running?

Nice Vid!!! Want to try something similar with the Widebody...

@SebastianAlbrecht that be cool to see if a time transaxle will hold up

26x10-12 Kenda Executioners on back, and some 21x7-10 whatever brand atv tires on front, they're bald but the height is awesome for crawling.

@RichieRichOverdrive yes they do sit up nicely. I'll be running 21x7x8 on a wide rim on the front of the Just and 24x9x10 on the Montgomery. I just love how big tires on front look on lawn and garden tractors.

Are 21×7×8 a thing? I thought 20 was all you could get on a 8in rim at 7 inches of width. I could be wrong. I also like the look. When I rebuild my Craftsman GT I might do something similar.

I just looked it up I stand corrected. They are a thing. I would go with SunFs there a great tire.

@mowerjunkie03 21x7x8 SunF A003! Good looking tire. It's the only tire that size.

21x7-10 and 21x7-8 are tires that were pretty scarce at one point, but thanks to the internet are pretty easy to get now. I bought the pair on the front of mutt off of ebay for $90 on rims. Well i think they were just selling the rims, the tires came with and just happened to hold air.

@RichieRichOverdrive yeah you got that right. The internet has come a long way. You got a good deal.

IDK Y it shouldn't...

22" shouldnt be too much force to the MST when its rebuilt...
