MY MUD TOY

if the pictures dont work out let me know
i know i know, its not a true mud toy thats raised up like i have seen but i dont see a point in that because this thing can go over 30mph
anyway its an older craftsman with an 11hp briggs peerless 5 speed 4 inch engine pulley and a 3 inch on the tranny 25x12.5x12 kenda beaw claws and a quickly thrown together front bumper

Edit: Looks like you got the pics working now.

its pre dam beefy! good job on it! must go thru alot with those tires on it!

well i havnt tried it in the 2 foot mud pit i know of because i know it wont its just like peanut butter but anywhere else i have been its never even spun on me

haha take a few vids of it!

i would take some videos but my digital camera broke tonight so i had to borrow one to get the pictures and i always go out alone so theres no camera guy lol

ya it sucks going out alone. i usualy go out alone.. but i think my brother might be finding a mower soon and well get both of them working

Offroad tractors dont need to be lifted - my stock agway never was and it went thru a surprising amount of mud and water - until i got into the 'peanut butter' mud- stock tires just dont have the traction. Is the trans locked? That would also help with traction. They dont have to be pretty either- just getting covered with mud anyway. The only time i ever washed mine was when i put it away.

I mounted a set of rear tires on the front - extended the spindles with a couple bolts- heck that raised it up quite a bit along with larger rear tires. Since its a 3 speed, its slooooow- i put a 4" pulley on the motor and a 6" on the trans - i was getting passed by turtles.....i havent test driven it since the tire and pulley swap tho- too many other projects.

Yeah id usually venture out down back of my folks place durning my yearly visit into the large swamp there- its a rich 'muck' type soil and gets super thick when it absorbs water. Normally id be out alone as well- altho when i was first dating my wife, i had her out there tearing it up down in the swamp with me- she was like " wow- this is totally cool!" - she even popped a 2' high wheelie as well ( i got a pic of that).

I want to see the wheelie pic!!
Was the wheelie on your agway?

No actually she was driving the craftsman LT12- waaay back before the engine swaps and blue/black paint - i took my 70 toro - both of the tractors were plastered with mud when that day was over.

I didnt get my agway back till a year or so after i moved all my stuff south- my freind had parked it in the neighbors barn and it had bird sh#t all over it and 4 flat tires - i actually never had it in the mud till after i moved south.

That thing has some stance! Those rears barely fit under there.

if you look close you can see where i actually had to cut and bend the fenders to make them fit, i know i ruined the fenders but im going to build a new muddin tractor in the spring this one isnt worth fixing there is way to much wrong with it
