progress is very slow on this build.. lots of things running through my brain so i keep changing ideas on what i want and need to do.. here are some pics from today of what i might have it look like for now.. i added an old tractor hood i had laying around my bone yard. i also find a rear fender from another tractor that i cut in half to put over the rear wheels( it may stay but not sure)... i still need to make a dump bed in the rear so i may not need those fenders.. i have wood in the pics but that is only a reference/guide line for me not to go any lower then that, for that is where the batteries go and the height it needs to be.. sorry i don't have any more progress on this tractor but i am hoping the light bulb in my head goes on like all my other builds and project i have done.. so far this build has cost me $12.56 not counting the 500.00 for the motor for the cutting deck and the batteries which will cost $340.00.. so it will still be around $1000.00 when this is complete..
