Ariens into utility vehicle

Recommended Posts

I wanted to build a Wheel Horse truck but couldn't bring myself to cut one of mine in half yet. This tractor was picked up last year and needed a lot of work anyway.

Added 24" in length, extended the drive shaft and reconfigured the shifter. This is what I have so far. It runs but smokes. The dump bed 3' x 5' will tilt with me sitting on the front edge, 190 lbs. Steering still needs some work and it was kind of sloppy to begin with.

Looking Good! Just add some stake pockets and some side planks and you'll have a real firewood hauler.

I have a rusted out WH 3 x 5 dump cart and was able to salvage the sides. It fits right on the bed.
