new2horses 287 #1 Posted March 18, 2016 OK Guys, It is still heavily mocked up, but starts from the seat and drives. Donor parts were from: 857, Lawn Ranger, C-120, Toro RER. One of those green ones, and my local steel supply store. Almost forgot there are Crapsman pieces too. For your viewing pleasure. Powered by a 4HP electric start Kohler. Plan to have it done for the L&G Tractor Extravaganza in Evansville, Indiana in June. Mods, please rotate this image, thanks David 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

new2horses 287 #4 Posted March 18, 2016 Craig, Yup pretty much. I bought the body at an auction last fall (it was cheap) Tried for the longest to make it a 2 up, just wouldn't happen. Drop center frame, and relocated the steering forward, If you look close the shifter can be seen just behind the steering pedestal, clutch and brake controls moved to the center as well. The body is pretty wide and my butt is close to the ground so a low floor was required, which also necessitated dropping all controls to a small center tunnel. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
