She forced me out of the house the last two days and this is what happened.
Old china 4 wheeler, a Allis trans axle and a 5hp horizontal Briggs. I need to mount a seat, floorboard and throttle to test.
I plan to add a dump bed.

Looking good! I see you have two seats, will you eventually change it to a steering wheel and move it to the left/right? I think I see front shocks, but definitely no way to do it in the rear. How fast you got it to go? |

I got the 1 1/4" stake pockets welded on and the .060 alum sheets cut for sides and front. I still need to weld the top 1" runners to the stakes.
Here's a shot showing the actuator.

Keith, are you sure you have enough tilt for that to dump?
Even the grabbiest stuff is gonna depart from that bed! Looking good!
BTW...figured a name for it yet? |

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.

Stan, I'm still got to fab the fire wall, fenders and wind shield. The dump bed may wait a while. |

Now you need to make your dump bed.

Hey, the wheels got to be happy.... anything has to be more reliable than a Chevette! |

Got a few hours to myself and cut up some 1/8" aluminum and redrilled some Chevett 13" wheels. Here's the results.

"I would think you would need a right angle gear drive to mate vertical to horizontal shafts with carrier bearings."
Thanks for the reply Cletus, anyway you look at it replacing vertical for horizontal in a factory built tractor is a problem. Building a whole mower may be easier than a conversion. One thing you had going for yourself with that mule is room.

Nice toy Cletus. 
You obviously have too much time on your hands. |
