Howdy! I'm new to the hobby of building offroad mowers. I've been looking forward to building my own after finding out this was a thing. My mower is an old squarebody Craftsman with a 14hp V-Twin with a 6 speed manual. The only mods I've done so far are offroad lights, pulley swap, and bigger rims for mounting atv tires. My goal is to keep it low budget but still decent enough to tackle mudholes or anything a trial could throw at it. I'm sure that sounds rich coming from someone who's never ridden a trail, but hey a kid can dream. Anyways I'm happy I found a forum for this stuff and I can't wait to see where it all goes!

Here's a picture of what I've got so far.

Good lookin rig, you will definitely need to add those atv tires as turf tred don't do jack in any thing other than dry ground. What size pulley swap have you done (front vs rear)
