Just watched your video. TDR sure looks long in that trailer! Mutt fits in a short bed pickup with just an inch or two to spare, it doesn’t look like TDR even comes close to fitting!

I can't believe you're able to ride around in tshirts this time of year, it's craziness! Lol. That's weird with the steering, a chipped/damaged tooth on the steering gear perhaps?
So, I got myself in a predicament today. I was taking that trailer I got with the kubota filled with all the scrap metal that I had in the old Chevy Pickup because I want to start using it a little bit. Anyway, on the way to the back yard, I found the yard much more squishy than I expected. Sunk the trailer to the rim as well as the Green Machine. This wasn't even the worst part of the yard.
SO, I got the Dirty Rat and the Red Bandit out to see if I could pull it out. I hooked up Dirty Rat and without even grunting or spinning a tire, had no issue pulling it out and through the deep stuff. I was even able to jump off TDR and walk between the tractors and steer it across the yard. Never spun the tire on Dirty Rat all the way across the yard..\
I looked all through your build but could not find any info on how you tackled the 633a transmission pulley with its tapered shaft. It looks like you found a cast pulley that fit the shaft. Can you add some detail to this as I'm looking at how to solve this for myself. If there is a bolt on option and I do not need to lathe cut my stock pulley then weld on another it would be ideal and a lot less expensive. Thanks for any info!

The Dirty Rat doesn’t have a 633 transaxle. It was originally a hydro. The hydro was failing so when I made it an off road tractor. I swapped in a peerless 2300 into it from a Murray GT. It’s what I had at the time. Got it modded in pretty easily. No taper shaft to deal with.
As for a 633 taper shaft.. there are some pulleys out there you can remove the center hub drilling out the welds and plug welding it on a new pulley. I don’t know what models had that pulley.
