Posted - 12/28/2008 : 23:07:26 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.

Posted - 01/29/2009 : 22:47:07 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? |

Posted - 01/29/2009 : 21:46:39 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.

Posted - 01/24/2009 : 20:47:12 Keith, are you sure you have enough tilt for that to dump? ![](icon_smile_big.gif) Even the grabbiest stuff is gonna depart from that bed! Looking good! BTW...figured a name for it yet? |

Posted - 01/24/2009 : 20:13:53 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.

Posted - 01/12/2009 : 17:43:10 Stan, I'm still got to fab the fire wall, fenders and wind shield. The dump bed may wait a while. |

Posted - 01/11/2009 : 21:49:56 Hey, the wheels got to be happy.... anything has to be more reliable than a Chevette! |

Posted - 01/11/2009 : 21:14:02 Got a few hours to myself and cut up some 1/8" aluminum and redrilled some Chevett 13" wheels. Here's the results.

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. Stan
