Odd Parts Machine

[cleatus]

While going through odd parts I cobbled this tractor together. Sears LT10 drive axle and right angle gearbox, Briggs 16 twin, unknown steering axle, junk pile ag tires on Jeep rims mounted backwards and c channel frame from past project. In the future will add Zena welder to rear and possible hydralics. <font color="black"> </font>

I know these type tractors are not for everyone, but building them are a lot of fun and being able to smooth the yard and drive plus using turning plow dig 12" ditchs in my cleachy yard is very labor saving. In the future I plan to build a FEL to save more labor plus have fun building.

Don't apologize, the rest of us buy our machinery. Not everybody can build 'em too. Keep on buildin'.

Cleatus, I think one of the best things about this forum is seeing pictures of what everyone else has done with their equipment, and getting ideas. It's fun to see projects like your own. Your mechanical ability speaks for itself! Have you by any chance watched that show "junkyard wars" ? If you haven't, it's where some very talented people build working equipment out of stuff thrown away in a junk yard. I wish I could be as talented.

Cletus,
Projects like yours are a good challenge and keep you sharp. It's almost like having your own Monster Garage. Have fun.

By the way we have been to Granbury twice in the last few years and just love that area. You live in a very nice part of the country. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Heres a pic of my suburban with a 5hp briggs. I was able to pull 27' of a moble home frame with floor up a 10ft hill to flat ground where I could hook to van.
