It ain't done...things are just kinda tacked on here and there...no battery blah blah blah....but she'll cut a solid 70 inches :bannana:

Hey! Pretty sharp bit of fabricating. :fing32: How many blades you got spinning under there? Are you going to enclose the perimeter (metal/chains/something)?

[bobodu]

Got two 16" blades and two 18" blades...
Thinking about metal skirting AND chain on the rear.
Gotta make adjusters for the idlers,the motor slides and need to make a mechinism for that,battery tray and switches...front casters,different tow bar so I can pull it behind an air-conditioned Blazer :bannana:
Also beef it up so it doesn't sag in the middle...and train the dog to drive the tractor so I can stay inside an air-conditioned house ROF

Here is the lower picture again in full....don't know why it came out cropped..

I am more fascinated by the tractor you have it hooked up to. "What Is It"?.

[bobodu]

2004 Farmnought

[CatDaddy]

I really like the 'lunch box' shape of the engine cowl. :fing32:

[johnbron]

That tractor is a 2004 year/model?. I have never heard of a farm-nought. I thought it was something made in the 30s from the style of it.

You could load that super large pipe your grand kids gave as a gag gift. If you read it all you may even have to reload. Buy large bag of tobacco. :eck16: :eck16: ROF

[bobodu]

Some minor mods....electrics are all in,casters on and tongue lengthened. Ready for paint

That mower engine looks like a 16-or-18 horse Briggs. Did I guess close?.

[JoeJ]

:omg: Cleatus,
Ya notice Bob just posted a link, instead of typin 33 pages of how NOT TO build one.... ROF ROF ROF ROF

Sorry Bob, but ya left yourself open for this one. :trink39: :bannana:

[bobodu]

Promotion Joe...part of my job.A link is how I found this place!!
Most, if not all, of these guys NEED MBN too :bannana:

That's a 16 horse Briggs,given to me by a frustrated neighbor...just needed a carb kit and a coil!! The rest of the tractor had to go bye bye because the wife posted a seven tractor limit :1106:

[cleatusj]

Joe, I don't know if we trained Bob or he just got lazy. ROF ROF ROF

DARN I poped the page. :00000060: :00000060: :00000060:

[horseman1]

Great job Bob! I've been thinking about doing something like this with a mowing deck off a GT.

You know, I thought I needed MBN too until I got to about page 15 or so and saw that picture with the banjo. Now I'm sure of it ROF

nice job. i made one simular. used a 60 inch allis
chalmer belly mower and added a 14 horse briggs
and made a quick hitch on the front of my kawa 650
prarie and pushed it around. can mow 3 acres in
1 hour. throws a lot of grass into my radiator though.
now, after looking at yours i think i will add some wheels
and pull it instead.
