LOTS OF PROGRESS

well I worked on the monster mower today and got quite a bit done I got my drop shaft welded in for the the lift and the idlers on the back to keep the belt away from the shifter, hooked up my gas pedal, now all I have left is the starter AGAIN, and the breather stuff and wiring then she's pretty much done!!! CAN'T WAIT!!! heres some pics of the progress











Now all I need is a 3.5 inch pully for the bottom of my drop shaft to finish the lift

You are hooking up some kind of brake i hope? With the combination of pulley sizes and tire size that will go pretty fast. Id mount belt retainers around the pulleys, or youll be crawling underneath to put the belts on continuously....


With my ATV rims- i dont want to weld them to my hommade hubs ( cut down tractor rims) - in case i come across another set of ATV wheels, plus will be easy to change tires if needed - i plan on drilling and welding bolts to the tractor rims thru the stock ATV bolt holes .
