#DirtyRat


So, after my ride last month, I decided that I would like to be able to have just the ammo box for storage without the whole back rack.  I built a rack that I could bolt the ammo box down using the hitch plate like I did with the rear rack.

Dirty Rat Hitch plate.




The Ammo can carriage.

I had originally created this rear rack for Kal, but recently modified it to use the rear hitch plate on the Dirty Rat.

Hitch plate:


Here is the rear rack on.   Ammo cans are removable.





I like the setup expecially I need to haul some stuff.  I figure the load range would be about 150-200 lbs.  I hope to strengthen it in the future.  If and when I do, I'll post it here.

I've decided to let the build-off topic be that.  Part of the build-off.  Once the vote is done, I'll continue the adventures of the Dirty Rat here.

I changed my mind...  I'll continue it in the original topic.

#DirtyRat

Ugh... ready for this weekend to be over. My computer died yesterday, last night the dog we dogsit from time to time, he's old, had a potty accident. That got under the flooring in the living room. Had to tear that up to clean and buy new pieces to put back down. Took my transaxle bull gear hubs for #dirtyrat over to my in-laws to drill out to 1" on my wife's dad's drill press. Broke the chuck on it... and the hits keep coming.

Man, I'm glad I didn't go that direction now with my entry #dirtyrat .

#Buildoff2022 #DirtyRat

I guess I will kick this thing off.  I don't know if I will be able to accomplish or finish what I would like... but it is a challenge and I want to take it.  I had hoped to build the Green Machine in the build-off but was uncertain if it would happen.  So here goes another idea I had.

My project is called "Dirty Rat"

My plan is to take this 1977 Sears Suburban Hydro, scab in the rear of a 1985 Murray GT with the locked Peerless 2300 from Kal.  I also plan on trying to lower it a bit if possible.  I'm calling it Dirty Rat, because my hope is for it to be an offroad trail riding rat rod sears.  Not sure of all the details at this time, but hope it goes well and can get something that I am thinking built out! Currently all I have is what I have. I do not have any parts planned or purchased for this yet.  It will be a journey in building.
