OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Ride-On Mowers Project X - The Greenfield Experiment

With today being my first weekend in months that i didn't have to work, i found myself busier than normal? I did manage a few hours in the shed though.

With the Tractor i recently picked up, it was time to pressure clean the creepy crawly's out and start to strip it down.

I was really impressed in the overall condition of the chassis. It didn't show the usual dents, bent bits and wear that others ive looked at have.

To my surprise, the usual steering mod had already been completed. Bonus.

The deck was in excellent condition and everything just looks solid. A great base and starting point for the ProjectX monster.

First task is to fit the MTD rear axle assembly. Something i think maybe a little more difficult than first thought, but not impossible.
Once this is setup, the front end will be tackled with new spindles and steering set up. I will make the spindles much like go-cart spindles, but will be based measurement wise around how the rear end sits.

Happy to make a start, albeit a small one. Progress is progress.
