kpthorsefan 34 #104 Posted May 30, 2011 I went into my workshop today to measure up the cable i will need for the hitch and get one made up, I then played about with a piece of 1/4" steel rod, put threads on both ends made two trunnions on the lathe, got two r clips some washers and a lot of adjusting, and guess wot!! it works a treat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mavfreak 11 #113 Posted June 5, 2011 I love the tri rib tires and ags on the back. Makes it look more like a tractor rather than a lawn mower! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mavfreak 11 #115 Posted June 5, 2011 sorry you need to read what I posted a little better or maybe I can explane a little better. When I look at the tire you put on your garden tractor it makes it look like a farm tractor.... When I see a grarden tractor with truf tires to me they look like lawn mowers. Now read what I posted again.... I love the tri rib tires and ags on the back. Makes it look more like a tractor rather than a lawn mower! When I get enough saved I'll be doing the axact same thing as you have! I already have the hubs and front wheels but tires are so expensive so some day. Great looking tractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpthorsefan 34 #121 Posted June 6, 2011 looking great kevin ! How easy is it going to be to lift the plough? looks like a lot of leverage to me... mark Hi mark, I think it should be just fine, I have had someone standing on it while i pulled the lift lever and it worked ok..... But time will tell, the plough is nearly back together just waiting for one plough bolt to come, so i have ground to a halt till that comes. will let you know how it goes when its hooked up......... :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
