New Toy

[dagr8tim]

Here's the super secret project I've been messing with for a week. I picked up a banged up Craftsman LT1000 Tractor with a 17 HP Briggs OHV motor for 40 on New Year's Eve.

There's a small community of guys modding and offroading these things. Being as I already have an LT1000 with a 15 HP flathead Briggs, for the price it's cheap spare parts.

I figured I'd share some pics because I've been posting some random and odd Facebook statuses lately.

Here are the pics the kid posted with the CL add. I don't have any pics, but I've got afew video's on youtube.

We had a "lawn mower" race track around here for several years. It was pretty cool, circle track'n on a lawn mower at 40 m.p.h.

This guy's pretty cool and is an XJ owner. His Craftsman has some serious flex for a lawn tractor.

That is awesome.. I used to have a Murray when I was in HS that had no deck, and was tweaked a little bit.. wish I still had that thing.. wasn't quite as cool as the one above, but was still fun to play with

Interesting project. Keep us up to date as you make modifications.
