[Wheel Crazy 23]

Here is a few pictures of a lawn mower I have had for a couple months and finally decided to start working on it!! It has a 12 hp Briggs and Stratton and going to have a 5 speed peerless trans-axle. It will also have atv tires!!! Hopefully I will finish it tomorrow, or in the next few days!! lol What colors whould I paint it? I was thinking a blue with a black stripe??

Atv tires sitting next to it!

Paint Idea??

Is that the one that is chain driven to the rear axle with an diff and a large sprocket ? If so it should hold up fine.

Looks pretty cool now, I wouldn't change the paint. :dunno:

I think the blue with black stripes would look good!

Well, I got the 2 speed tore out and the 5 speed put in!! Also mounted up the atv tires! Next i have to make a brake mount and cut a hole for the new 5 speed shift pattern. The original rear rims/tires won't clear in the front do will have to find something else! Here are some pictures!!

With bigger front tires, need to find different ones that fit!!

Looks like it might float now. I don't see that thing getting stuck any time soon with the new tires.

No, it has a trans-axle, i hope it will hold up! Most guys lock the trans-axle so they are stronger, but don't have a welder to do it, so just gonna leave it for now.

Looks pretty cool now, I wouldn't change the paint.

Thanks!! I don't know about the paint yet?? May or may not paint it??

:text-yeahthat: Looks good so far but how about red with a black stripe Jake

[jay in nc 210]

id go with red & a black stripe just like a 1066 international farm tractor. for front tire clearence how about cutting and boxing the frame rails at the rear of the tires at full lock? i dont think the belt will be in the way. Jay
