| So here it finally is, time to get off my arse and start building. This is a 1991 craftsman lt4000. I plan to run it at haspin which means it needs lots of work in relatively short time. It will be getting: Lowered fenders Front independent suspension Steering box off a cub cadet Roll cage under the dash and hood Locked peerless 820 with aftermarket final drive Deck raise lever shifter Reinforced frame 18 horse vanguard Pulley swapped (little more than 1:1) 18 inch kenda pathfinders Led lights Paint Full wiring harness Recoil pull start Double barrel ATV exhaust Foot pedal with cruise control cable Remove the governor from the engine Undecided mods are: Exhaust “cutout” Rear facing LED lights Hydraulic disk brakes (front will have drum brakes from the mini quad) Paint color (I have an idea but not set in stone) I plan to run the craftsman hood at haspin, but that isn’t my main goal. End goal is either my Murray hood like @mightyraze has on Kal, or a true craftsman square body hood. Just depends on what I have when the time comes. I’m sure there are other small things I’m forgetting but work will officially begin tomorrow. ![[FINALIST] - CraftsmanQuad's CraftsmanQuad Mark II [2019 buildoff entry] 97cd2110](https://i.servimg.com/u/f11/19/48/09/44/97cd2110.jpg) Approved: MightyRaze 2-22-2019 | |

- Looks like a Great Build! TONS OF MINTY PARTS!!!
excited how that thing will turn out!!! Oh I’ve been collecting for awhile Goal for today is reinforce the front half of the frame, remove the old axle and steering, as well as anything mower related. Don’t need any of that garbage. Bonus for today would be getting the suspension mocked up and seeing how it will fit around that big vanguard but we will see how far it goes | |

What is it about them that makes them weaker? Yes width between mounting holes. There more likely to belds side to side and they dont have the L shape that sits flat against the trans. | |

| Gotcha. Well I guess I picked well then. There were several of these tractors at the lot, and I picked one that was complete, the sheet metal was all straight and intact, and had a clean frame that didn’t have oil all over it. I had never realized there was any difference in the transaxle mounts in these tractors. Very good tidbit of information there! | |

| Minor update, got the transaxle gussets welded up. Muffler cut off the engine, and that’s about it. Ran out of welding wire so had to run to Lowe’s and pick more up. Really liking that Lincoln wire. Much better than the Chicago electric wire that came with my welder, or the Hobart wire from TSC | |

Hopefully! Just stick some angle iron to it and hope it’s stiff enough lol Kind of at a standstill until I run up to my grandmas next weekend and get more supplies. Some rebar to reinforce the back TVP part of the frame, and more angle iron to finish the front. | |

Ya I forgot you were using A arms that is gonna be interesting. All the atv suspension conversion I have seen are either direct steer or rack and pinion. | |

Bingo. The only variables are space and I’m not going to have any idea on that until the engine is mocked up into place with the pulley I will be using, and a belt on it so I know what all I will need to dodge lol Going to do equal length tierods to keep bump steer to a minimum, and the wheel base will end up about 3-4 inches longer overall I’d guess. Using the factory notch for the front axle as the notch for the tierods. Not sure exactly how much load will be put on the shocks or even what they’re rated for. I am going to build it all with the springs set to their lowest setting so if the big vanguard and heavy frame compress it too much for my liking I will raise the front a couple clicks. Also will add a couple degrees of caster in there to help take the strain off the a arms since those will be the weakest part. Such thin metal. Tilt them back a little and all the impact will be transferred to the shock absorber | |
