Well heres my entry it will be a week or so before i show much more progress its got the 6 speed sorta half jank mounted its an old peerless from a craftsman or something. Im gonna attempt to use the stock vari drive and the plan is a 708cc predator but i may temporarily rebuild a vtwin intek motor i have thats practically brand new ive gotta pull the side cover and fix a few things and it would be ungoverned because it already had the governor removed. Ive gotta replace the front spindles because i was experimenting with custom ones that ultimately failed. And the front end is a replacement from an old 90s troy bilt so i think its a little wider but its definately heavier. Overall the tractors gonna be sorta a rally/street tractor eventually when i can get acsess to someone who can help me im gonna swap the gears in the transaxle for more speed ive seen it done and i think i could benifit from it. Also it seems like the MTD varidrives do better wheelies because of the vari drive so it might need wheelie bars with a monster engine.

Yep ive got a whole bunch of other stuff im fixing or building and eventually i might find a starter lol that starter is determining when i actually start the build because the chassis is very close minus a clutch setup

Honestly im debating even entering my other tractor now because i haven't had time i think ill finish the other gasser and focus on my other tractor separately so if @mightyraze could move this build to DNF. I think ill just finish my gasser and call it dale mowhardt lol it needs stickers
