| I started this over in the new members section and I don't know how to link to it, so apologies in advance. After a lot of busted knuckles, bad words and lotsa grinding, I realized I was gonna have to lower the steering wheel. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 1111](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/1111.jpg) So I made this in preparation for a universal joint. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" Steeri10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/steeri10.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" Steeri11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/steeri11.jpg) By this time my fingers & toes was froze so this just a little update. Please feel free to criticize or recommend as I doubt you can offend me. More to follow! MightyRaze: ADMIN Edit-copied from new member section...So, getting right to it, last year a guy gave me a TroyBilt with a 20 HP Intek he had in his back yard for at least a decade. It wasn't seized up so I took it, got it running and put it on my Craftsman. He fussed about the rest of the mower untill I got it as well. I didn't know what to do with it and in researching possibilities stumbled on you guys. I still don't know what to do with it, but apparently the possibilities are limitless. There is no plan, no ultimate goal, just throw ideas at it and see what sticks. I wanted to lower the seat and immediately discovered I'd have to shorten my legs to work the pedals. That not being an option, I guess I gotta stretch the frame. And move the brake pedal to the left. Not necessarily in that order. What could go wrong? !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 110](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/110.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 210](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/210.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 310](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/310.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 410](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/410.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 510](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/510.jpg) You can never have to many clamps. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 610](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/610.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 710](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/710.jpg) And presto: !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 811](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/811.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 910](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/910.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 1010](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/1010.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 1110](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/1110.jpg) Now it appears the steering needs adjusting. And you guys make it look so easy! I shoulda known better. This little bit took me the better part of 2 weeks. Well, I don't know where this thing is goin(dumpster?) nor do I know where it belongs on your forum. All I know is I got a 24 HP V-twin for it($300 and counting) so I gotta finish it. More to follow! | |

| While I waited on parts, I watched paint dry. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" Watchi10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/watchi10.jpg) Well, parts arrived and they look like they might work. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" Thats_11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/thats_11.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" Thats_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/thats_10.jpg) !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" Parts_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/parts_10.jpg) But that aint gonna work. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" That_a10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/that_a10.jpg) While I didn't get pics of it, (to disgusted) I tried the hood & grill. They probably aint gonna work either. So here is where criticism, recommendations and a witticism or 3 would be in order. (and greatly appreciated) I need a junkyard next door. | |

I see people say this all the time, but really what's the fun in having no challenge? Sure you get a tractor that works fine, throw some ATV tires on it, wheel it, and have a rig that looks like everyone elses. Bleh. Not my thing. Either way, to each his own.

| "I just realized that looks to be an MTD frame" It is. The sad part is I was given 2 more MTD's (1 has a 20 HP Briggs opposed twin on it-frozen) and most/part of a Murray.
"You've picked a difficult platform to work with." I was given a !@#$%^&*()_+ platform to work with. Besides, it was all I had. Still is 'till I can get the others home. Then I'll have 2 1/2 more pcs of junk.
"Looking forward to seeing more progress!" AARRGGHHHH! | |

| Progress has been made. Had to raise the seat a bit. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 1_rais10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/1_rais10.jpg) Found a hood/console that will work. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 2_this10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/2_this10.jpg) Though it will be a tight fit. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 3_tigh10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/3_tigh10.jpg) So tight I had to move the fuel pump. !["Ye Olde Piece -O- Crappe" 4_had_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f81/20/03/22/80/4_had_10.jpg) Some body work.

There are no intake leaks, the valves are adjusted to within specs and I put a coil off my neighbors 23 hp intek... still spits/sputters and backfires. I gotta new head coming, hope that's it. | |
