i've come to a decision that i will not use the steering system from the golf cart.. it's just too complex and the whole ideal of making this build is to keep everything simply just in case repairs are needed down the line.. so this morning i pull the whole steering system from a ride on mower i have as a donor. cool part about this is the way i took it out.. all i have to do is when i mount it to the new chassis i make it will just slide in and bolt down in one piece( i see this as a big time saver) i also pulled off the cutting deck.. so simple to do too.. only 4 pins hold the deck together to the tractor. the deck is 38" but i really need a 48" or bigger. so i called my scrap guy to keep his eyes open for one.. i have no doubt he will find one for me. til then i will have to use the 38" deck.. i have all but some square tubing that i plan to use.. here are some pics of the parts i pull today
