@@jaysonhoover4328 thank you!

@@jaysonhoover4328 heck yeah man! I’d love to see those builds happen! Thank you for the compliment!

@ of course bud! You’re more than welcome!

@@TractorDad maybe, not sure yet. The control arms are fixed very solidly to the frame. The shocks sit atop those. So any lateral movement is unlikely anyway. There’s not a whole lot of weight going on here, mainly the engine. My weight will be in the back. If anything, an impact to the grill (tree) would be the worst thing that could happen. But if it is braced well enough that shouldn’t be an issue. I’ve got a super lightweight ATV bumper made of aluminum I found a while back. It goes to an unknown quad. I’ve been saving it for something and I think it’s gonna be this. It’s really small and looks great when I hold it up in front. That should be enough to protect the grill from impacts. I could go insane staring at this tractor and thinking about every possible scenario and how to make it stronger. At the end of the day it’s just an old garden tractor that I’ll be racing a bunch of other old garden tractors with 😄

@ good point. As soon as you started talking about the oil cooler I started thinking in my head about if there was a good please to relocate it for more air flow. It’s easy to get carried away for sure. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for the steering

@ with the oil cooler, they have it there on the motor and behind it is a vent in the fan shroud and that’s how it cools. On the Deere I have the same engine. When I did the alternator I had to move the oil cooler. That’s how I realized air does in fact blow through it. I relocated it up in the grill area of the Deere. But there no air will blow through it unless I’m driving faster and even then it probably isn’t getting any forced air. So I ended up building a little shroud around it and now have two computer fans blowing through it. That’s not something I’m going to be wanting on this build for weight and complexity reasons. Before I knew the cooler had air being pushed through it where it is on the engine I figured it just sat there and diffused heat statically. I guess the engineers get paid the big $$$ for a reason 😄

@@cloes_Grandpa that’s right! When we moved to TN one thing I absolutely had to have was a garage or shop separate from the house

@Tennesseemountainhomestead yeah "Cletus" is under about 6 to 8 inches of snow. And it's gonna snow most the day. Lol

@ all we got last night was rain.

@ConnorHellmuth that’s a good sign you picked the right motor 😄

@@yellowgas66 Steffen bought a slide carb from Amazon it’s a 30mm slide. It’s either a PWK or knock off “Maikuni” brand but seems to be good quality. He’s just starting to mess with it and stuff so we’ll keep that updated. I’ve always wanted an oxygen acetylene set but haven’t dropped the $$$ on one. I bet I could find a good used one on marketplace though. I’d probably be doing grocery bag acetylene bombs though 😄. Mapp gas for now!

@@robertcobb8760 yes sir!

@@LaidOffGarage I preciate it! The boys and I was just watching your video last night with the battery switch on that Horse!

@@MightyRaze first, thank you for the compliment! With the brakes, I’m not sure yet if I can make the front and rear work together. The front are cable actuated. I haven’t chosen a rear brake yet. Most likely will be either a pit bike brake or something similar. I’m thinking the front brake pedal will be on the right foot, to the left of a gas pedal. The rear may be a handbrake lever on a post for my left hand next to the seat. The front brakes will probably be used a lot more than the back. I figure the engine braking through the trans will be more than enough to stop the tractor. The only purpose the rear brake really serves is when I want to hold the tractor from rolling while I apply throttle. Steffen got the Kohler oppy running good today. It needed a spark plug. But he also has a whole engine gasket kit and he has a slide carb on it. I bought a compression tester today and it has really good pressure on each cylinder. I hope you feel better and are able to get back on your build soon. It’ll be a while before I can get back into this one. Steering is next as I mentioned. That’s the last major thing that will pose any sort of challenge.

@@darrellperry8175 thank you sir!

@@1776_Garage thank you!

@Tennesseemountainhomestead You're welcome. I think after my lowered racing mower is done I will do something like you're doing on this one.

@ man I’m gonna catch up on your videos! The only time I ever get to “watch” UA-cam is the drive to and from work. But I just looked over on your channel and saw all that content!

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead Don't get too bored! Lol I'm just a small UA-camr in a small garage on a budget.

@ me too!

@@crazymachine8928 I’d say it will hit about 25 mph, but these things aren’t really meant for speed. Most the time it’s crawling on trails

@@juggalooff-road4719 whoop whoop fam ! 😁

@@creepycrawler43 much appreciated! Thank you

@@cherylhoward9916 thank you!! I appreciate the compliment!

@@mathieupicot1390 thank you! We have a lot of fun making these and modifying the tractors too

@@TractorDad sweet, I will have to check that out, been so busy with all these projects and Christmas lately. Only time I get to kind of try and watch everyone else’s videos is to and from work with my phone holder on the dashboard 😄

@@captain_315 Heck yeah! We got Captain_315 in the comment section!! Thanks Cap, you know what it’s like fabricating stuff up with basic hand and power tools in the garage! I still have a ways to go and hopefully it turns out as something formidable!

@@Rob-p2j thanks Rob! Always appreciate you as usual!

@@SlipperzYT 😅 thank you! I’m super excited about that but even more worried I can get it to perform and function right!

@Jonssi069 Finland ! That’s cool ! One of my favorite UA-camrs is over there Hydraulic Press Channel! I didn’t realize horizontal drive machines were a mostly American thing. They are everywhere around my area it’s like take your pick. But you might consider simply converting a standard vertical tractor into a horizontal. Idk but I guess it’d be just as hard to get the transmissions and stuff. I was thinking just offset the motor and build your belt system down the inside if the frame like it would be. It’d be a lot of work but could be worth it 🤷🏼‍♂️ anyway bud I appreciate you! Thanks again!

@@craftsmancrusher207 haha me too! Hopefully the arms are strong enough to handle some abuse! I think it’ll be fiiinnnneee😄….maybe! For real though there’s a lot going on here and some things to work out. Steering and shocks are next!

@Tennesseemountainhomestead i recently built a sears suburban with a 3 arm suspension if yoy run into any issues let me know and ill help you the best i can!

@ that’s ironic you mentioned that, I was going to do a triangulated four link before this. But once I got measuring and thinking about it, realized it was going to be way too heavy with the parts I would have used. I will have to go check out your build setup

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead I'll send you some pictures tomorrow!

@ yes please! I went back over your videos to see if there was one and didn’t see it. Is it the Midnight build?

@@Mo_2118 thank you! The main reason I was going around about width is because TTC rules. If I’m not mistaken 43” is max width. If not for that, I could’ve put the arms right near the edge of the frame and not had to relieve the frame so much or at all. But it’s cool how it is and I’m glad it’s wide(er)

@Tennesseemountainhomestead wider will be much better

@@M_Track I’m going with a “latest rage” or similar dune buggy rack & pinion. They are pretty compact. It will mount on the backside of the original axle pivot plate that used to be the front of the tractor. I’ll probably make my own tie rods out of 3/8” heim joints. 1/2” ones if I can. I’ll use a combination of steering DD shaft and splined UV joints to get the steering wheel input down to it- I hope 😅

@@MightyRaze yessir! The control arms being straight was one thing I made sure of before I chose those parts. I’ve never built anything like this before, definitely learning as I go. But by the time it’s over, the words “custom” across the grill will have a whole new meaning 😄

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead - "But by the time it’s over, the words “custom” across the grill will have a whole new meaning" I love that.

@@AbbyNormalGarage maybe, lol. A good machine is only part of it. There are some really fantastic guys who can ride a tractor like nobody’s business! Once I get it done, I gotta start getting some serious seat time to practice, and test it out! Find the weak spots…

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead is there a possibility of it being to small? It’s really cute!

@@AbbyNormalGarage not too small, it’s basically going to be the same dimensions as the John Deere as far as it has an identical wheelbase and even wider track width. At least in the front the back of the deer is pretty dang wide like 44 inches. It has the same transmission the same engine. It will have a very similar clutch system, but it should be about half the weight. So it’s everything I love about the deer With half the steel. I think it’ll run pretty good, it will be a lot zippier, less tippy because I’m gonna be sitting down a lot lower and now that it has for suspension and brakes it’s just gonna be a wicked little tractor

@ no, it is going to have the same wheelbase as the John Deere, it will have a wider front track width. It has the same transmission, engine, it will have a similar clutch system, better steering, front suspension, and front brakes at half the weight. It should be a nasty little tractor.

@@hotlapgarage thank you! Should be a little ripper

@@cloes_Grandpa thank you! I just checked out your Wheel Horse video and tried to help you out over there in the comments.

@ConnorHellmuth I sure hope so but I have a feeling it will!

@@Thatleaningt6000 it’s a 1983 model 214, but has been modified to run like this

@ did this setup used to have a twin belt setup with a cvt?

@@robertcobb8760 awesome to hear that! I happen to be building a Sears myself right now! Thank you and Happy New Year!

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead are you going to post videos on the sears

I have a custom 6 that I put a predator 212 runs awesome

@ yes I’ve already got several videos, I made a playlist. I just got done putting ATV front suspension on it today. I gotta edit the video tomorrow but it should be ready by then.

@MAKESHIFTFARMs I built it because our trails are steep, when they get muddy it’s very sketchy, if not impossible, to get up there with a trailer. Especially if the trailer has anything in it. This was a prototype test rig to see if it worked, which it does quite well. It has brakes too, both gas and brake are controlled from the seat. I’ve got several videos showing the build and testing

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead interesting 👍🏻

@@TractorDad thank you! 99.99% gonna do independent front A arm suspension

@ that’s going to make it so nice. Man you are going to need a plasma table soon for fab work.

@ I wish 😄

@@craftsmancrusher207 thank you! I hope so too!

@@FT_Garage thank you, I appreciate it! I subbed your channel too, I’ll have to check it out!

@ I’m already 8 mowers deep building fxt race mowers but now you have me wanting to do a build series on a mud mower!

@ sweet! It’s a ton of fun

@@hotlapgarage thank you! Me too 😅

@@RichieRichOverdrive me too…. I can pull this off and come out with a tough, dependable, operational rig, at least that’s what I keep telling myself 😅 No matter what, it will be fun and I appreciate all the advice you’ve given me so far. Can’t wait to get back to work on it!

@@cloes_Grandpa I look at it the same way I look at getting into the racing competitions. I don’t expect to win, I just mainly do it for the fun. Also making friends and spending time with my boys. Which I’ve done 2/3 so far, I still gotta get into an actual race! I honestly don’t know if I can pull this off! I bit off a lot on this project! I dove in and cut the crap out of this tractor. Not thinking it all through 😅 But it will be fun no doubt. Have you signed up on ATLTF yet?

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead yes I did. And will be doing a video tomorrow and getting with mighty raze about how to work the website weird on the phone. But yeah I figure a complete build a lot of learning that I need and just to get out of my head and depression and get out there. Win or lose

@ awesome to hear! Looking forward to seeing your work!

@@Tennesseemountainhomestead the machine I am building needs work on every part fab, welding and mechanics. It's a big project but I'm excited

@ that’s really cool, I’m glad you’re getting into it! I’ll be keeping an eye out for the build videos!

@@AbbyNormalGarage thank you! I was thinking about it (that’s pretty much all I think about right now) and I may not even need rack & pinion. I may re use parts from the stock steering system and just turn a fan gear into the new tie rods. The main goal of this tractor is keeping it light weight!

@ I doubt sloop in the steering would effect you bashing. Only thing about the stock set up is can it take the abuse and where do you get parts? Might adapt a wheel horse set up. They are a bit more common. I have 4 or 5 up stairs. I’d like to build one to bash around the house. I don’t really want to compete. I’m going to restore that lil wheel horse I got at the wheel horse show but I got 4 rider mowers and 1 on the way in the shop right now!

@ the stock fan and pinion gears on these are pretty stout. It’s all on 3/4” round bar. I don’t know if that’s what I’ll use but it’s not off the table. There is quite a bit of fab work and decisions to make on this thing

@@MightyRaze thank you! I just got done posting it on the forum!

@@TylerHankss thank you! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours as well!

@@rickystephens7253 no, the new carb out of the box seems to be just right. It’s a Nibbi 22nm. The factory carb, I didn’t measure the throat but it looks significantly smaller compared side by side. But like I said the new carb seems to be dialed in how it is. Perfect throttle response, no dead or flat spots in the rpm band. No hesitation, no popping, no black smoke. It did come with some different jets though. It even fires right up when it’s cold. 🤷🏼‍♂️ win win!

@@SirDrakeNewcanon 😅

@@SirDrakeNewcanon yes sir I try to teach these kids everything I can!

@@SirDrakeNewcanon oh yeah, these kids of ours do not play video games or have access to social media!

@@SirDrakeNewcanon absolutely correct! I just went through the process of finding a used bike on FB marketplace and if it’s not a scam it’s overpriced!
