Here is my entry boys, an all around offroad woods mowe based on a MTD 700 7hp mower from a long time ago (year still undetermined :/), with a gnarly military theme soon to come!

What I've done so far before contest, mounted gx200 (won't run all of a sudden)
Mounted front tires (fitting modifications still heavily needed)
Took it apart..
Lots of mockup
Removed transaxle
Fixed a steering gear by welding and grinding in teeth.

THAT IS ALL. It looks like more but seriously that' it.

Heres my code bs...

Here is where she started on day 1 when I brought it home about a month ago (haven't had much time to work on it)

Had to remove transaxle after pounding on the hub and the axle came with it. (e-clip inside broke)

Might do something like this to get my clearance in the front.. Although, I think I'd rather make some axle mods.. We will see. I am gonna try and make some fenders for the front tires.

Don't get your shorts twisted. If your pal shows up here, he can contact me, and I'm sure we can work it out. But as things are, you're not doing him any favours by getting pissy. He was issued the warnings to hopefully get his attention.
