Mule from parts

[cleatus]

I got ran out of the house after being in all day Christmas and started a new project from an Allis garden tractor trans axle, 5hp briggs and a wrecked china 4wheeler.

I think i'll build a Mack style c-cab to give it some class.

Here's the Mack I'll style after.

Very impressive. How is the power/speed with your little invention? How about more pics please

Jimmer, I guess 10mph with out going down hill and it pushed the front tires up a 74deg. ledge, from a dead stop at the bottom, until the back touched ground. I haven't tried it with a load yet.

When I get back on the cab I will have the floor removed and will get some more pic's. I had to turn a jack shaft to be able to increase the speed. I ended up using a belt from jack shaft to the Allis trans axle. The main frame is 2x6 heavey wall.

Got a few hours to myself and cut up some 1/8" aluminum and redrilled some Chevett 13" wheels. Here's the results.
Forgot to pull floor to take pic's. Will try again later.

Ok Guy's, I,ve got a bit more done, but am not sure how I'm going to do the hood and grill. I still need to put brackets on bed for the stake sides plus the dump actuator.
Here's a look at my jackshaft setup.

That is really cool! Nice job and amazingly fast!

I got the 1 1/4" stake pockets welded on bed and .060 alum. sides cut. I still need to weld runners on top of stakes. I also cut out the rear window and mounted actuator.
