Cool beans man! Is it going to be a toy or a workhorse?
im not quite shure yet as i have used it for both, it has 32" buckshots on it and is able to pull out of the mud like a champ, im also able to hook it up to my 10ft trailer and pull it, the main key thing is it has 25 to 1 gearing so it is extremly torquey up untill now ive been useing an old snow mobile trailer whith wheels mounted on it and let me tell you this rideing cart will be a life saver as before i had to continuialy stand on the trailer and now i can sit and just chill out.

Awesome! I actually have a David Bradley "Cultimulcher"/"Harrowpacker" that was designed for your machine! A customer gave it to me as a tip, it's parked in my front yard with my 1969 MTD!

Sweet i wish i could find some implements over here in Idaho but they are hard to come by the only 2 i have is the riding cart that i just finished making today and a mutilated cultivator that someone cut, welded, and half It back together to make a riding cart that broke the first time i used it, yea if u ever come across a model with either reverse or whats known as a ball lock clutch i will gladly buy the clutch parts off of you and the reverse mechanism as mine has been also mutilated. And there “fix” was to loosen the engine plate and hook the clutch arm up to it so now it moves the entire engine assembly in-order to tighten the belt. Really sketchy and Jankey.
Yea it was such a pain to get all the measurements right as i had to go off online data of which there was none, so i had to surf throughout the internet archive to find an old forum post from an old forum saying on measurement, then i used trigonometry to find the rest of the measurements
